Thank you for viewing. The waist is elastic, and the drawstring is decorative. The fabric is soft, making it easy to move in. There is some damage to the left knee, but there is a fleece lining, so there are no holes. There is some minor pilling, but no noticeable scratches or stains. Please forgive any oversights. For those who understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home, Thank you. Please check my profile.
