Please take a good look at the photos. I don't remember when I bought it, but I purchased it at Nishimatsuya. I used it a few times for recitals, but I'm selling it because it's too small. The waist is elastic. It's 100% cotton. There are some pills on the lower part of the waist on the back. Part of the tag has been cut off. Please purchase only if you understand that it is used and stored at home. It will be shipped compressed.
