I haven't washed it yet, so I can't say how it will look after that, but it looks very nice now. Not sheer at all, flattering cut, good stitching, smooth look to the material, not at all "shiny" or cheap looking. I've gotten several compliments. I ended up coming back and buying 2 more of different colors I liked it so much ! Also, size seems to be true, I'm 5'4" and weigh 144 lbs and bought mediums so I had a little room to breath! I hate tight clothes for the summers!!
