Color is definitely not as shown. Actual color is a deep ruby, very traditional, not the cuter, more playful red shown online, which is disappointing. I wasn’t going to return it over the color so I took the tags off, then I realized there’s red transfer on the cream yarn at the sleeves and waist hems but now i feel like I own it since I took the tags off. It’s definitely scratchy as others have stated so it needs a layer underneath. Overall a disapponting purchase for what I paid.
