I'm selling a similar top from the same brand. It has a slightly rough texture and is a thick top. I liked it, so I wore it quite a bit and have home-laundered it. What looks like pilling is actually part of the original material. It's boucle. Color: Ivory (White) - not pure white, but natural white Size: M 30% Silk, 27% Cotton, 23% Nylon, 20% Polyester 22S111-004 This design neck knit uses a boucle material with a fluffy texture that makes a statement on its own. It's a versatile item that creates a feminine décolletage. It's also a plus that it can be hand-washed. Because it has a moderate thickness, you can wear it all seasons except for mid-summer. ★ There is some slight yellowing around the collar and under the arms.
