UPDATE!  All of our "Embroidered" outfits have a polyester weave fusible backing that is used to cover finished embroidery stitches on the inside of clothing. By covering the back of the embroidery, we are preventing threads from coming in contact with skin and causing irritation.  This will be on the INSIDE of your embroidered shirts, do not remove. You may wash and dry your garment as usual. This is an extra step we have decided to take to protect your loved ones fur (or skin)  *It's a good thing*
