I have this top in two different color combinations.  The fabric is light and airy, the fit is fantastic, and the compliments I get are awesome!  I bought my first one from Amazon and went direct to the manufacturer for the second one.  When I got the raspberry swirl color top, I only hand washed it.  That got old after a while and I started to machine wash.  The only thing you have be careful with are the corsetting ties in the front.  They will fray with machine washing.  I have tied knots at the end of mine in hopes that will stop the problem.  These tops are elegant and can be dressed down with a pair of pants, or up with a nice skirt.  I most recently got the blue and brown color.
