I bought this a few years ago and wore it several times, so I think there's some fading and wear. I was able to wear it when I was pregnant, so I think it's okay even if it's a bit loose. The waist has a string, but there's also elastic. The skirt part has a lining. I don't think there are any noticeable stains, but there might be some oversights, so please understand and purchase if you can. _(._.)_
