I've worn this a few times. The elastic waistband is folded in half in some places, but it doesn't affect the pleats and there's no problem with wearing it. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Thank you for your consideration! A chic check pattern exudes a refined aura. The gradually widening flare silhouette makes you look elegant and feminine. The elastic waistband emphasizes a girlish, delicate figure. The long length beautifully covers the leg line. ★ The pattern may appear slightly different from the photo due to the cutting. ★ Elastic waistband. ★ Lined. No pockets. ☆ Material: [Outer fabric: 60% polyester, 40% cotton; Lining: 100% polyester] Pattern: Check Stains, tears, odors, etc.: None
