I admit I was a little skeptical about this kimono because my online buying experience has taught me its rare for images to reflect reality. Well, skepticism gone! I love this kimono! It drapes beautifully (I have large arms and currently on the heavy side so I didn't want something that shows all my nooks and crannies) and although sheer, the material is substantial without being heavy. I bought the navy even though the picture looks like a cross between royal and navy but in actuality its navy. Its a little pricy but Ill go back for more! Love this for work over a sleeveless dress or with jeans. Its a must-buy!
