I fell in love with this item and purchased it at the Umeda store, and have worn it several times. I don't see any particular stains. The lining has some slight pilling, but it's still in beautiful condition. It's hard to convey in the photos, but the color is somewhere between green and blue, and it's made of a thin velvet fabric. The waist has elastic in the back, making it easy to wear. It's not too tight, nor is it overly flared, giving it an elegant feel. It looks adorable paired with blouses, sweaters, and boots, and I think it will be useful in the fall and winter. It can be worn for both office casual and everyday wear. I think the third photo is the closest to the actual color.
