I have now had this blouse for over two years. I have not dried it - always hang it up on a hanger to dry after machine wash in cold water. But that being said, it has held up extremely well! I was afraid that it might run too small but I was pleasantly surprised that it fit a little blousier than expected when I got it. It is soooo flattering on me. I get complements every time I wear it. The flowers are embroidered and give this blouse a very expensive look. The fabric is fantastic quality. I have put on about 10 pounds since I first purchase this blouse and it is still my favorite! If I could find 30 shirts made exactly the same way in various colors and patterns I would buy every single one! That is how much I love this particular blouse.
