I purchased this for our recent trip to Mexico. I fell in love with the pattern - so much prettier than the basic black, scratchy, heavier cover up I had been using for years. The main problem is that there is no closure, so it just hangs open. To fix that, I purchased a set of magnetic clothing clips that worked perfectly. I may sew on something more permanent but the magnet clips worked just fine. The second thing to be aware of is that the fabric is very thin. If it catches on anything, the threads will pull (and possibly rip). But that's not a reason to not buy it - just be aware that the fabric is delicate.
