This is a navy blue, loose-fitting dress. I wore it for my child's Hatsumiyamairi (first shrine visit), Shichi-Go-San (celebration for children aged three, five, and seven), and entrance/graduation ceremonies. The sleeves are made of a sheer material. You can wash it at home. There are no noticeable stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections.
