This cheeky mastectomy tee is perfect for any breast cancer survivor! Bella+Canvas tees are UNISEX SIZES and run longer and less fitted than a classic women’s cut tee, but smaller and more fitted than a men’s traditional cut. Wear knotted, tucked, or size up for that trendy oversized look! Ringspun cotton is soft and lightweight with the perfect amount of stretch. We recommend laying a favorite tee flat and measuring it before ordering to get the perfect fit. PLEASE WASH BEFORE WEARING - items may feel slightly stiff when you receive them. This is normal due to the direct to garment printing process. Please wash to reveal the true softness of your new favorite piece! *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ DETAILS *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ This is a direct to garment print, no vinyl or stencils. Which means it will last a lot longer! The luxuriously soft Bella+Canvas shirt is made with Airlume combed and ringspun cotton and has a Retail Fit. Solid colors are 100% cotton (except Ash - 99% cotton and 1% polyester), Heather colors are 52% cotton, 48% polyester (Athletic Heather and Black Heather are 90% cotton, 10% polyester). *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ WASHING *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ We recommend washing your item inside out on a cold and gentle cycle as soon as you receive it. Drying on a low setting is recommended for dryer use, but hanging is ideal to keep your item as fresh as always. Do NOT bleach or iron over images. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ SHIPPING *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ Our items are individually made with love for each of our buyers. Because of this, our processing time is 2-7 business days (depending on order volume) plus transit time. We know our customers want their items as quickly as possible!
