I LOVE this top for the comfort and style. I could wear it everyday. This would almost certainly have been a 5 star review if the material were a better quality. After 1 wash, there was pilling that made it look like a 20 year old sweater. I can no longer wear this anywhere but around the house (which I regularly do, else it would be 1 star). Such a shame.

When I laundered it, I used a garment bag, cold water, gentle detergent, and didn't wash with anything rough like jackets or towels. This has never been a problem in the past for me, but lately, some of the clothing items I've ordered through Amazon have had this issue. My 2 cents on the matter is that more sellers on Amazon are using cheaper materials such as those so often used in the Chinese market place. When I lived there, it seemed like most folks washed their laundry by hand, so maybe these materials would hold up a little longer there; but they just can't stand up to the standard machine wash in the US :( Also, given the quality of the fabric, this should have been a lot less expensive...
