We bought these in two versions- with the ties and with the ear-loop elastic. For ease of use we prefer the ear-loop elastic ones. But both versions do very well in washing machine and dryer, and hold their pleats very well over multiple washings (more tha. One year at this point). Soft cotton is comfortable against your face. Highly recommend.
This blouse is so beautiful and the color is just perfect for me.. The fabric is so soft and comfortable against my skin. This blouse would be absolutely perfect if the button holes were not too big. My blouse keeps popping open an inopportune moments. In spite of this, I love this blouse.
