I was a little worried about purchasing this product since the picture was white and the color selection said black, but the product arrived as pictured and is excellent. I do not normally wear plus sized clothing, but find that many sarongs are not long enough to tie in various styles and I was hoping this item would give me more options. The fabric has a very nice diamond texture to it and is fairly sheer. I expect to be able to use this item for more than a swim cover as well. It looks amazing as a neck scarf and is fancy enough to use as a shawl with a dress. I am very pleased with this purchase!
