"The fit is fine until you wash it once and then the arm holes and neck line shrink up. They will stretch back out some but still not as comfortable as it was new. The fabric is a bit stiff and a little too heavy for my liking. The length is great though and I like the gingham checks."

"I was thrilled when I saw these last month, assuming that they would be the same as the three that I purchased and completely wore out several years ago.
So, least I miss out, I foolishly ordered three of each color.
When they arrived, I knew that something didn't seem just right, but I thought maybe washing them would improve things, so I washed two of them twice. Unfortunately, that was not to be so!
The original ones from several years ago were so light, airy, soft , comfortable and COOL that I practically lived in them during waking hours. In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina hit and we were without power for days, they were a heavensent.
These new ones are ANYTHING BUT heavensent!
The fabric is hot, heavy, stiff and scratchy and is so coursely woven that it will probably not hold up very well. In fact at least one of them came with a hole in it already. Also, the style looks the same, but the gathering under the yoke is very skimpy, whereas the original ones were very fully gathered, making them great for a full bust.
Alas,even thought I will be returning four of them, I am still out about $70 for the 2 that I already washed and can't return plus S&H both ways, and the aggrevation of returning them.
Worst of all though, is the terrible disapointment."

"I purchased 1 in each color and absolutely love them! And I wish they came in more colors so I could have even more of them. They are perfect for around the house and stepping out into the yard to pick up the paper. They are modest, comfortable, and cozy!"

Great shifts!, January 22, 2008
By ShirleyA from Minnesota

"I ordered one of these several years ago and have been looking to purchase a few more ever since; was thrilled to see them in the last catalog I just received. They wear like iron and after several washings, still look good. Comfort is the key word for these shifts. Great for taking on trips; can double as lounge wear and/or nightgowns. LOVE this item!"
