There are no noticeable stains, but there is a feeling of use, such as fuzzing and fading. The color and pattern are of course lovely, and the shape is also very cute, with puff sleeves. I went to the beach once, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It doesn't look like there's sand in it at a glance. Please consider this item if you understand that it is a used item that a child has used. Please read the profile first.
