The shoulder closures were originally Velcro, but I replaced them with snap buttons because the Velcro caused scratches on my child's face. The Velcro area is frayed. There is also yellowing around the neck. It might come out with stain removal, but I will send it as is, so please be aware of this. This is a used item worn by a child, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Pattern/Design: Other
