I purchased this new about three years ago and used it for two years. It shows signs of use, but there are no major noticeable stains at first glance. Some of the flowers have fallen off. There is still one lace piece with buttons, so it can be made about one size larger than in the photos. It can also stand on its own, as shown in the photos. If it's too large, I will ship it in a compression bag, so please understand. Instant purchase is okay, no price reduction. Sweet Lolita, Axes Femme, cosplay
