We recommend hand washing as the bib is quite delicate. Once washed place on a flat surface to dry. Laying all fringes and lace in the correct way. Once dry iron the Bib to keep its shape. Finished size: One size fits all - with all our bibs made to be tied up behind the neck. SAFETY: All bibs are made with cotton rope ties. Ties are meant to be tied loosely around neck in an easily releasable bow. While bibs are designed so most of the baby's neck will be surrounded by bib as opposed to the thin tie, please use with caution. **Fabric color/shade can also vary slightly due to lighting, picture saturation, and varies viewing devices such as mobile phones, computers etc.
