Reviewers say to wash on a ~delicate~ setting.

Promising review: "I found this dress to be super cute and affordable. I have worn twice and have washed twice and the material has held up very well. It is TTS but is very low-cut in the front.

Its elastic makes it stay up nicely at the waist so that it doesn't shift when you stretch or sit. It goes nicely with a crop top without any exposure of skin.

It's the popcorn pant I have always dreamt of!!!" —Fomba Kanneh
