I wasn't sure what to expect with this item, I haven't had anything like this in my wardrobe before. I ordered the recommended size and it was very generously cut. I was disappointed in the color pattern, it had a lot of orange where the photo online seemed to show more of a fuchsia. I can't wear orange, so I returned it. I also expected a smoother fabric texture. It's not a good fabric for me, it seemed rough and felt hot, not cool as I expected.
