I primarily bought this to wear under blouse/shirt and it will work fine for that. It is a lightweight material so it will be cool in the summer yet will add a light layer of warmth in the colder months. The apricot is a pretty soft color. It is close to cream with just a hint of apricot.
The material is thinner than I thought. Based on the pictures, it looks like a more substantial cotton. I gave it a quick hand wash and hung it up to dry. The color did not run. It wrinkles easily. It also runs a bit small, even though it is a loose fit style. I was going to order this in another color but although I am going to keep this, I probably will not order this style again.
