I purchased five sarongs from 1 world and this one is my fave. I love the size. I use them as neck scarves. Some patterns work better than others and this one is the best. It does have thick black fringe that isn't visible in the product photo. The fabric quality is pretty good but they smell bad. I washed them in my machine on "handwash mode" then dried them on the delicate cycle. They came out well. My only gripe is this material shows lint pretty badly in the darker colors.
