Popover in sunglass print

I rarely write reviews, but since others seem to have a common problem I wanted to share what worked for me! Like all the reviews said, the first time I wore it I didn't even know when water got on it but parts of the shirt was bleeding in color. I tried spot washing it without putting in the machine then all the areas that were even slightly wet bled color everywhere and it was just a hotttt mess. Before I started considering going to J. Crew and begging them for a return, I put it in the wash, didn't help, then I washed it again on its own in the machine. Then it was okay! Shirt saved! But seriously. Don't make bleeding shirts pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee.

I had the same experience as in all the previous reviews - my shirt turned unevenly pink upon cold wash after it bleed from the sweat in the armpits. I was extremely disappointed. I went online looking for color sealant if I had to buy a new one and other ways to handle the mess. I didn't want to give up and throw out the shirt - I loved it. I decided to wash it a second time in an effort to uniformly distribute the pink. The shirt was left soaking overnight. then I rinsed it (even with warm water) and I couldn't believe it - its white background was completely restored, no bleeding spots, nothing, clean and fresh as when I purchased it. I don't understand the science behind but the point is - wash your shirt before you wear the first time, let it dry completely then wash it again. A recommendation to J.Crew - please test all your items in every possible condition before releasing it to the market. P.S. I even purchased two more shirts for a present!

So disappointed with the quality of this shirt! First wash and the burgundy bled all over. The store was wonderful about refunding me.
