I purchased this at Tobu Department Store. I fell in love with it at first sight, it's so cute! Is it a dress? Or a tunic? My daughter wore it as a dress with black tights. It's very girly and adorable. There are some brown threads mixed in with the other threads, but it's not a stain. I've only worn it a few times, but there is some slight pilling from wear and washing. If you are concerned about small details or are very particular, please refrain from purchasing this item as it may cause problems. Please purchase a new, unused item instead. I will sell it to those who understand. Studiomom
