This is a great shirt.  The material is on the thin side, but feels heavy.  It says to hand wash and hang dry this shirt, but I was too lazy and threw it in the washer on normal cycle in a lingere bag and it came out clean and undamaged. Ironing on low heat is highly recommended after washing.  I am normally a regular size 16 and am 38C, and the XL and fit perfectly. It is very feminine, the pleats in the front with the Henly style buttons add the right touch.  The lace inset on the sleeves and the bell cuffs are also nice features.  Even though the lower portion of the shirt kind of flares out, it does not make me look preggos, in fact, it would be great to hide protruding tummies.  Another great Patty Boutik product.
