Good to know about pale fabric
Like most light summer fabrics, this can read slightly sheer in strong sunlight. Wear it over leggings, trousers or a camisole. Keeping lemon looking fresh is mostly about what you avoid: no bleach, which yellows fabric unevenly and weakens embroidery thread, and no drying in harsh sun.
