The texture of it has nothing to do with the photos. It is not elastic at all, how could it be since it is made of 100% cotton without elastane. For almost 50 euros, it is not worth it at all in my opinion. Its durability, although I haven't had it for a long time, seems to be not very good based on the materials. I consider it almost certain that it will fade. I cannot recommend it to anyone, no matter how nice it looks in the photos.
