This sweatshirt is really easy to use. Just put it on and enjoy the warmth and style. When washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the design and fabric in good shape. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the faux - sequin design. After washing, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. Hang it up to dry if you want to be extra careful. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Since it's made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business - day processing time.
