It is beautiful!!! The colors are vibrant and the fabric is soft. I have not washed or used it yet so I don't know how it will be after I wash it, but initially it is better than I expected. I only wanted it to use as a sarong, not a dress, so it is the perfect size. I am a curvy woman with hips and I wear a size 12-14 clothing and there is plenty of material to cover my hips and behind, but at the same time it's not bulky or super long at all. It is the perfect length to my knees and is flattering. I haven't tried to make it a dress, but from looking at the material it could possibly be worn as a simple dress, but depending on your height and body shape it could be a little short or not cover everything. That is ok with me, though, because as I said before I didn't want a dress I wanted a sarong. The fabric is on the sheer side, but its not see through and there is enough of it that you can fold it in half and still tie it around your waste. I don't mind the sheer fabric because I didn't want something heavy that could make me hot. I can't wait to wear it when I go to Florida next month! Oh, and shipping was great as well. I got it exactly when they said I would. I definitely would recommend this scarf.
