I've worn and washed this many times. The material is like fleece, so it tends to get pills easily, and there are quite a few pills. This is a pleated skirt that falls below the knee. The waist is elastic, so it's comfortable to wear. The black parts in the first and second photos, which are the waist elastic area, are part of the hanger. Please understand that I am a beginner at taking photos. *I plan to compress the skirt for shipping. *Please purchase if you understand that this item has been stored at home.
