Quick answer
For the best fit, measure your child's chest and compare to the size chart; wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry low to preserve the handdrawn graphic.
Why sizing matters for this tee
The Youth Lt Blue Handdrawn Tee is made from 100% preshrunk cotton, so it will not shrink much after washing. However, a good starting fit ensures comfort and longevity. Available in youth sizes 8 through 20, this tee runs true to size but may feel snug if your child is between sizes—size up for a roomier fit.
Caring for the handdrawn design
The handdrawn style graphic is screen-printed and will last longer if you avoid harsh detergents and high heat. The 5.3 oz. fabric is sturdy but still needs gentle care to keep the colors from fading or cracking.
Step-by-step sizing and care guide
- Measure your child's chest: Use a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms. Compare to the size chart: size 8 fits chest 26-27 inches, size 10 fits 27-28 inches, size 12 fits 29-30 inches, size 14 fits 31-32 inches, size 16 fits 32-33 inches, size 18-20 fits 34-36 inches. If between sizes, choose the larger size for room to grow.
- Check the length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem. For a tunic-length look that stays tucked, go up one size.
- Wash inside out in cold water: Turn the tee inside out before washing to protect the handdrawn graphic. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Washing inside out is the single most effective step to prevent fading and cracking.
- Tumble dry low or air dry: Dry on low heat or hang to dry. High heat can cause the graphic to peel or crack over time. Remove promptly to reduce wrinkles. Air drying is best for the design, but low tumble dry is fine if you remove it while still slightly damp.
- Store flat or folded: Avoid hanging by the shoulders, which can stretch the neckline. Fold and store in a drawer or on a shelf. Folding keeps the shape better than hanging for youth sizes.
