The beautiful vest is a linen rayon shimmer fabric blend. I purchased it for an extended traveling business and vacation trip. I didn’t read that it was linen and was upset, as I thought it would be a wrinkled mess. Just the opposite - it doesn’t wrinkle!I wore it over turtlenecks and sleeveless tops. It goes well with skirts and pants. An easy way to dress up a basic wardrobe Chicos size 1 equals size 8-10 Approximately 23 inches from shoulder to hem. Hand washable - no dry cleaning bills !
