I've worn this a few times and kept it stored at home on a hanger. I'm selling it to declutter. There are no frays or stains, so I think you can wear it without any problems. I will compress it for shipping with simple packaging. This is a trendy knit bustier. The lace-up design is a key feature. Mignon recommends layering it with a band collar shirt or a BIG T-shirt for styling.
