Here's the thing about these tops.  The dye bleeds, bad!  I washed the top in cold water then rinsed, and rinsed and rinsed and the dye never completely rinsed out!  Finally the water was a very light blue.  I spread the top on a towel and stretched it in every direction then rolled it up in the towel.  After a bit I took the top and hung it on a hanger to dry still stretching it.  Every time I walk by it I stretch it some more.  It was on the small side when I got it so I keep stretching it.  I think I have it back to it's original size.  I will only know when it is dry.  I really wanted this top to take on my cruise or back it would have gone.  As it is when I am finished with the cruise I will draw a pattern off the top and make it out of decent material.  This is what you will have to do if you buy this top.  You sure don't want to wear it without washing it first and that's by hand wash.  I love the style, the colors and hate the fabric and the dye.
