Black Corduroy Mardi Gras Sweatshirt with Sequins and Beaded Stars — Details & Care

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For most accurate fit comparisons, measure a similar sweatshirt you already own laid flat and compare to these points.

Measuring the garment (recommended)

• Chest / Bust (Pit to Pit): Lay the sweatshirt flat. Measure straight across the front from one armpit seam to the other. Double that number to get the full circumference.
• Shoulder Width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. If there is no defined seam, measure between the highest points where the sleeve meets the body.
• Sleeve Length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan sleeves, measure from the center back of the neck along the shoulder and down the sleeve to the cuff.
• Body Length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the hem.
• Hem Width: Measure across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
• Cuff Opening: Measure the cuff flat and double for circumference.

Measuring your body (fit guidance)

• Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping tape level and comfortably snug.
• Shoulders: Measure across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other.
• Use these body measurements to compare with your garment measurements. For comfortable movement with embellished pieces, allow a bit more ease across the chest and shoulders (about 2–4 cm / 1 in for a closer fit, 5–10 cm / 2–4 in for a relaxed/oversized look).

Materials

• Main fabric — Black corduroy: Soft, ribbed pile (corduroy). Typically cotton or a cotton-rich blend for warmth, texture and structure. Corduroy gives a tactile, vintage-inspired look.
• Lining / Interior (if present): Many corduroy sweatshirts have a brushed back or knit interior for extra softness—often cotton or a cotton-poly blend.
• Rib trims: Cuffs and hem are usually a knit rib (cotton + a small % elastane or poly for recovery).
• Embellishments: Sequins are commonly polyester/plastic; beaded stars are typically acrylic or glass beads sewn on with polyester thread. Embellishments add visual sparkle but are more delicate than the base fabric.
• Note: Exact fiber percentages and materials vary by production run—please refer to the garment label for the definitive composition and any regulatory information.

Model information (for fit reference)

Reference model details to help choose size:

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Pre-care: Turn the sweatshirt inside out before cleaning to protect sequins and beads. Check for loose beads and secure them before washing.
2. Hand wash recommended: Use cold water and a mild detergent. Gently swish—do not rub or wring. Rinse thoroughly in cold water.
3. Machine wash (if needed): Use the gentle/delicate cycle with cold water. Place the garment inside a mesh laundry bag or a pillowcase and wash alone or with similar-weight items.
4. No bleach or harsh chemicals: Avoid bleach and oxygen-based stain removers that can damage fabric or embellishments. Skip fabric softener.
5. Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshape while damp, and avoid direct sunlight and heat. Do not tumble dry (heat can damage sequins and shrink corduroy).
6. Ironing: If needed, iron on the reverse side at low heat or use a steamer. Never iron directly over sequins or beads—use a pressing cloth.
7. Spot cleaning: Blot stains gently with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. For stains near beads or sequins, dab carefully with a cotton swab—do not scrub.
8. Dry clean: For heavy beading, extensive soiling, or if you prefer a professional service, dry cleaning is recommended—inform the cleaner about the embellishments.
9. Storage: Store folded or flat where possible to avoid stretching. If hanging, use a padded hanger and avoid long-term storage that may stress embellishments. Keep in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight.
10. Quick repair tip: Keep a few matching beads or sequins and a polyester sewing thread on hand for small repairs. If unsure, consult a tailor experienced with embellished garments.

Style Tips

• Mardi Gras inspired: Embrace the theme—add purple, green and gold accents: beaded necklaces, metallic clutch or gold hoops to echo the embellishments.
• Casual day: Pair with high-waisted straight-leg jeans and white sneakers; tuck the front slightly for a relaxed, modern silhouette.
• Elevated / Night out: Combine with a leather mini or faux-leather trousers and heeled ankle boots; choose a metallic bag for extra sparkle.
• Layering: Wear a slim turtleneck or collared shirt underneath for contrast at the neckline; top with a longline coat for cooler weather.
• Balance & focus: Because the sweatshirt is embellished, keep the rest of the outfit streamlined—solid color bottoms and minimal competing patterns help the top remain the focal point.
• Footwear: Chunky boots, loafers or simple heels work well depending on how dressed up you want to be.
• Jewelry: Let the beaded stars and sequins be the statement—go for minimal metallics or pick one color from the embellishments to echo in your accessories.

Tip: Always check the sewn-in care label for the manufacturer’s exact materials and care instructions—this sheet is a practical guide to protect the corduroy and the delicate embellishments.
