The color is off-white, and it's a thick, fleece-lined cut-and-sew. I think it's very warm with a blanket-like nap. See photo 4. It has a subdued design, so I think it can be worn for recitals, weddings, funerals, etc. It's been worn 2 or 3 times and shows little wear, but there is a light stain on the right sleeve. See photo 8. Flat measurements: Width: 42 cm Length: 55 cm Main fabric: Polyester 97% Polyurethane 3% Lace: Cotton 100% Ribbon: Nylon 100%
