I bought a new skirt for a concert and added ribbons (purchase date: September 20th). I've only worn it once. The ribbons are attached with safety pins because they are hair clips (see photo 5). The skirt has 5 ribbons attached, but a total of 7 ribbons will be shipped. The last photo is a picture of me wearing it, so please use it as a reference. I do not have any pets or smoke, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about storage at home.
