Beautiful top! I wore it to the beach as a cover-up over my swim suit to the beach/pool and also as a long top with shorts and jeans. The crocheting is very well done, and there is no fraying or tears after extensive wear now. It looked exactly like the image! I am 5'10" and 135 lbs, and it was very loose and airy (bot not baggy). It hung a bit low on my chest so that when I wore a bandeau with it, the bandeau showed through at the top (I am a 34B) but if you have a slightly larger chest or your bra sits lower on your torso than mine, then the solid section will perfectly cover everything. Color was more ivory/ bleached burlap. Not itchy, very comfortable!
