EDIT: After a wash it WAS much softer, which was a relief. It's very comfy as a fabric, though I still don't love the design. I ended up cutting off the sleeves because I wanted this to be a cool summer sleepwear and it is much better. It also is roomier after a wash but the hem keeps it from draping the way it seems to on the model.

I am hoping this will soften up after a wash, but I was disappointed after seeing all the reviews rave about how soft it was. It's a little closer to t-shirt texture than the softness I've been searching for. Also if you're looking for plus size or XXL it doesn't run as large as other views suggest, but it will probably fit up to a size 20 with room to drape or a 22 but tighter.
