Everything about this pullover Edelweis flowers Henley is exquisite. The appliqués, embroidery on the front, arms, and back make this extra-special! And the fact that it is cotton and polyester sealed the deal. No matter how beautiful something is, I won’t get it if I must hand wash something other than small intimate apparel. I don’t mind dry cleaning at all, but getting all of the soap out of a top or pants and doing it without excessive twisting/wringing is almost impossible, so to have something that can go in a safety laundry bag on gentle cycle and then leave out to dry is fantastic.. but back to the garment’s design…. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything so beautiful.. it is high-quality and made with so much attention to detail. Even the little accent buttons are unusual and create even more visual interest.. all of your clothing is gorgeous, of course. Thank you to the designer! And thank you also for the careful packaging and shipment.
