The pattern is vivid and gorgeous, but anyone can see that. Suffice it to say it looks at least as lovely as in the pattern sample image. This review is for the new fabric, which I think suits much better for a t-shirt. It's a soft and silky-feeling cotton, it has no added spandex but is still stretchy, it's not too heavy and is so, so comfortable (one caveat: I haven't washed it yet). The old fabric was good quality, but had a clingy elasticy rebound to the stretch that I find uncomfortable. With the new fabric, I think I could've sized down for a snugger fit that wouldn't feel like I'm fighting my clothing all day. :) I love it, I really hope to see some of the previous patterns brought back on this new fabric, take my money please and thank you!
