You can close the buttons and wear it as a single top, or wear it as a cardigan. It's been worn only a few times and is in beautiful condition with no stains or marks! One petal of a button and a bead have come off, but it's not noticeable at all. Please understand that this item is stored, inspected, and packaged by a private individual. I plan to ship via Rakuraku Mercari or Yu-Yu Mercari. I may be able to ship within 2-3 days, so please comment if you need it urgently.
