To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on and enjoy the warmth and style. For everyday wear, it can be paired with jeans or casual pants. When it comes to washing, turn it inside out and use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the design and fabric in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the faux - sequin heat transfer. After washing, tumble dry on low. Hang it up to dry if you want to be extra careful. Also, keep in mind that since it's made to order, it takes 7 - 10 business days to process. So plan your purchase in advance if you need it for a specific event.
