I have this cardigan in 5 colors! I get compliments every time I wear them! I wash mine in cold water and hang them up to dry and have never had any issues with shrinkage. I was a little bummed that the last one I ordered said "olive" but it was definitely more of a forest green. It did not match  striped olive dress I had been hoping to wear it with. With that, the colors are true to the photos. The "olive" photo looked less olive and more forest but I decided to go for it anyway. If you don't own these cardigans or you are second guessing a purchase, DON'T. You will be thoroughly impressed.
