The fabric is much better than the picture. It is slightly shiny like embroidery floss. This shirt is also slightly sheer/see-through, but only in bright light. I absolutely love it and so does he.
I love this type of super lightweight 100% cotton. The print and colors are beautiful. I just wish there was an XS option because the arm holes are a bit too big for me. I will make it work though because I love the dress. And, pockets are always great!
