Hey ladies and gents

Im a long-time lurker and procrastinator but recently Ive been getting my crap together and doing more recons and smaller pieces. Ive just gone thru my stash and found a top I was given 5 years ago that I need to sort out.

I love the style of it but the main issue is this kinda tacky print on the front. Im guessing its just an iron-on transfer but I have NO clue how to remove it!?

And if it cant be removed safely without ruining the top, what else can I do to cover it? Its a very big area to cover which worries me.

I really don't wanna screw this up so, fellow Craftsters , I NEED YOU!!
