Finding a patriotic shirt that is actually stylish and comfortable can be a real challenge, but this top completely nailed it. The scattered star design is visually interesting without looking like a costume piece. I am absolutely thrilled with the fabric quality; it feels luxurious and has just the right amount of stretch. I have washed it at least four times now, hanging it to dry, and it still looks brand new. No fading on the red or blue stars, and no pilling on the white background. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a cute summer top.
