Rating for this product: 5 March 23, 2012

This wrap is fabulous. You can wear it a few ways-
1. There is a hole on the side so you can wrap it through and tie it in the back.
2. You can tie it back and leave it open.
3. You can use the button on the shoulder and create a cowl neck
4. Or just leave it open
And- it has pockets!

Icebreaker tends to shrink a little bit but with the proper care it will keep its size- make sure you line dry it. Drying it in the dryer will shrink it a little but not to Smurfette size. Go with the medium unless you want it to fit tighter then keep the small.
