Although it is a men's handkerchief, I ordered this one. In my opinion, they are chic and fit both women and men. They're a little thin, but that's what I like about them. After washing, they are soft, absorb moisture well, keep their shape, wrinkle a little. Reduced from 17 to 16 inches. Photo 1) as received, 2) after washing and 3) after ironing. Since I will be carrying it in my bag I have decided to iron it. Good fabric quality, smooth seam on the edge. I recommend and will order again. Machine wash cold, tumble dry by the way.
