I had read some reviews suggesting the colors were rather drab or unpleasant. I was very pleased with the selection I got. Some are labeled as silk, some not, but at this price one would expect polyester. The fabrics all are supple with a nice drape to them. I got them planning to re-hone my sewing skills making some simple shifts or shorter skirts. I am so pleased with three of them that I will be wearing them as is for a while before doing a remodel.
