To wear this Mardi Gras t - shirt, simply slip it on like you would any other shirt. It's great for casual outings or Mardi Gras celebrations. When it comes to care, machine wash it in cold water with like colors to keep the design looking fresh. Tumble dry on low to avoid any shrinkage. Since it's made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business - day processing time. And don't worry about the faux tinsel design; it won't shed like real tinsel.
