This is a thin, summerweight top.  It is extremely stretchy and stays stretched once you stretch it out.  It is good for layering, but it can also be worn fine alone. It isn't see through or anything but if you have an ounce of fat or god forbid, a roll, it will emphasize it dramatically as it sticks to you.  Sleeves are long - whcih puts the elbow patches well below the elbow for most.  The material isn't scratchy but its a tiny on the rough side (pre-wash).  Might be better after wash.  Hard to tell how long it will hold up if washed because of the delicate material.  The little pocket will only look good on a tiny person who buys this and doesnt want/need it to stetch at all because otherwise, the pocket is way up near your shoulder (odd looking).  The button are snaps and they are old like just before rusty stage and are a tad on the difficult side.  Overall, cant recommend unless you want a cheap shirt to go under something like a tank dress.
