To wear this sweatshirt, simply put it on like you would any other top. It's great for casual outings or staying at home. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the design looking good. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric and the design. After washing, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. If you need to iron it, use a low - heat setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the faux embroidery design. Also, keep in mind that since it's made to order, it takes 7 - 10 business days to be processed before it's ready to ship to you.
