October Lucky Draw prize!
I received my October Lucky Draw prize a few days ago! I love it! I was afraid it was going to be too small but it's perfect. Also, the fabric is warm! I thought it was a normal t-shirt cotton fabric, but the top is really warm!
Although, I don't think I was supposed to clean it in a washing machine. I decided to wash it before wearing it for the first time and... it sort of messed up the shirt a bit. On the upper right side, there was supposed to be a ribbon and a pompom. But after washing the shirt, the ribbon was destroyed. The pompoms also lost color. And the ribbon in the waist was ripped off. XD But I was able to fix that, thank God!
Still, I'm happy and thanks Asiajam!  |

Congratulations, that shirt is lovely!
And yes, most AsiaJam items do need to be hand washed, unfortunately ... They can be delicate. If you're not sure how to handwash things, it's quite easy!
A little baby shampoo in the tub, fill up the tub with cold water, put the item in there and slosh it around a bit, and let it soak for a few minutes ... ((About five.)) Then, let the water out, rinse rinse rinse, and hang the item, or lay it down flat to dry! ^^
Oh, and don't be alarmed if the water in the tub turns the colour of the garment you washed, it does that sometimes --- That's why you use cold water, it sets the colour. If you were to use hot, it might take all of the colour away. >_>;

Wow! Great tip! last time i tried to handwash something, it was a coat, and pretty much most of the dye came out in the bath ~turned black. I hate handwashing things!
But anyway, its a lovely prize, i love the tie, its so adorable!

Dish soap! Haha.
I think it's okay to wash with normal liquid laundry detergent soap. |
