The fabric is much better than the picture. It is slightly shiny like embroidery floss. This shirt is also slightly sheer/see-through, but only in bright light. I absolutely love it and so does he.
This was ordered by me, for me, because it is so unique and intriguing.
The material is a very nice cotton and its distinctive look captured me. It can be dressed up or down. I'm really glad I got it.
