I must admit, I was wary. Some shrugs just look cheap. I love this. The reason this is so cool is that the ruffle has a sort of wiring, so that is stays curly and hold the whole shape. The 3/4 length sleeve is very flattering and the sizing is right on. The black is really black and it can be dressed up and down and is exactly like the pic shows. It looks like it cost a lot. Good shrugs are hard to find. Will look good with jeans or with a little black dress. Perfect. Happy customer here.
