I purchased this about three years ago. The embroidery is a dark blue with a bit of glitter. I only wore it for ceremonies since my school didn't have a uniform, so I've worn it about 5-6 times. I washed it at home each time and stored it in a closet. I believe it's a beautiful item, but it's used, so please purchase it only if you understand this. * I will ship it as is, without taking it to a dry cleaner. * It will be folded and slightly compressed for shipping. I will fold it as neatly as possible, but please be aware that it may wrinkle.
