This sweater is a great addition to your wardrobe. To put it on, simply slip it over your head and adjust it on your body. When wearing, be careful not to catch it on sharp objects as the silk - cotton blend can be delicate. For maintenance, it's best to hand - wash this sweater in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out the excess water and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing it as this can distort the shape. Once dry, you can iron it on a low setting if needed.
