I got this for my bf's birthday dinner. It was at a $$$ restaurant and I wanted him to look nice.I knew I was wearing a emerald satin dress and I wanted him to match. Although it is not a bright emerald, you can still see it's green.It matched well with black slacks and some red/brown dress shoes.I washed it in cold water with my other satin clothes on delicate mode.Then you can either tumble dry (no heat) or hang to dry. I did a combo of both. First the tumble dry for 30 mins then hanged it up to dry. Had no wrinkles once it fully dried.My bf said it was soft but not flimsy. And it covered him enough to protect him from the AC vent but he didn't get overheated in it.
