To wear this sweatshirt, simply put it on like you would any other top. It's great for casual outings, lounging at home, or just staying warm. When it comes to washing, use cold water and a gentle cycle to keep the design looking good. Tumble dry on low to avoid shrinking. Since it's made to order, be patient during the 7 - 10 business - day processing time. And although the design looks like sequins, don't pull at it as it's a heat - transfer design, not real sequins. This way, your sweatshirt will last a long time.
