I usually want to see it before I buy it
But this time I took a chance after studying the on line photos and talking with the very helpful person in your NYC shop.
The item in reality is a light flannel, called something else in the ad. Not my usual pick. The plaid is matched. Good. The blanket stitch detail is one of the reasons I selected the item. It’s nice, a little smaller than it appeared in photos.
There are a couple of places where some sections of shirring are loose and that I will need to stitch if I don’t want it to fall apart.
See why I like to look before I buy?
Given all that, your retail staff was wonderful.
