Since I can now only wear cotton due to clothing allergies, and I am very tall, it is difficult for me to find clothing. This was a great find. It is long enough for me to wear with my boots, lined with cotton as well as the cotton outer layer, and has very pretty embroidery. Don't know how it will wash yet, but I usually wash all my clothing in cold water and air dry (since I am tall...) so I imagine it will do just fine.
