The color and print of this scarf is very clean with no bleeding of colors in the design. The fabric is soft and easy to work with. The size is large and can easily be worn as a tied scarf or a neck drape scarf. It is a bit small to use as a shawl but perhaps if you were a small person you could. The only reason I didn't give this a 4 star rating, is because the over all color design is uber shiny and glossy and not as it appeared in the image at purchase.  The image online appeared more matte to me however this is not.  I wouldn't return it because the colors are just what I wanted but I will probably only use it in the evening when the silvery shimmer hue of the entire scarf would be less glaring.
