Using your new tablecloth is a breeze! Simply spread it over your table for an instant elegant look. It's great for all sorts of events like weddings, birthdays, and parties. Just remember, since it's not pre - shrunk, expect a 2 - 4% shrinkage after washing. When it comes to maintenance, wash it with similar colors in cold water. And don't forget, this item is just the tablecloth, so other decorations you see in pictures aren't included.
