Using this Darth Vader pet dog costume is easy. First, put the top on your dog. Make sure the attached collar fits comfortably around its neck. Then, fasten the sewn - in belt around your dog's waist. Next, drape the detachable cape over its back. Finally, gently place the headpiece on your dog's head and adjust the elastic to keep it in place. When your dog is done wearing the costume, take it off carefully. Avoid pulling too hard on the elastic or the printed details. To clean it, follow the washing instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash or hand wash in cold water is recommended. Hang it to dry. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
