What type of fabric is it made from?

Does the wrap neckline offer adjustable coverage?
The wrap detail creates a fixed V-shape neckline designed for a flattering silhouette. It is not adjustable.

How should I care for the animal print?
To preserve the print, wash the garment inside out in cold water and avoid high heat during drying. Always check the specific care label for the most accurate instructions.

Review the care label; avoid washing with harsh chemicals or at high temperatures. Consider washing inside out in cold water to protect the print.
