The fabric is very soft and comfortable. The length covers my behind, which is my preference. I love the cute, flouncy, feminine hemline. I plan to machine wash it inside a mesh laundry bag on gentle cycle and hang it to dry. If I discover any issues, I will edit my review. The sleeves are too long for me, so I plan to shorten them to 3/4 length, which is my preference. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.
