I have to admit, I was a little bummed at first, because it did fade more than I would have expected on the very first wash (gentle cycle, cold water,) the fabric texture softened quite a bit, and I was really afraid it wouldn’t hold up very well. I’m glad I waited to write a review, because now I've worn it probably upwards of 20 times, it has not lost any more color, it is so soft, and it drapes in such a perfect way. The care instructions say to “Dry Flat.” I stopped doing that, and actually throw it in the dryer with the rest of my clothes on low heat, and it doesn’t seem to hurt the shape or condition of the fabric at all. I love this sweater so much, I would not hesitate to buy it again for sure.Disliked the fact that there is no return slip, no receipt and no address from who it was from on the outside envelope. Sweater was rolled in a ball. Would have to think twice from ordering from this merchant again.i love the beautiful and stylish v-neck pullover hoodie tunic style
