Thank you for viewing. Since it has been worn only a few times, I don't see any noticeable pilling, but as it is a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It fastens with a hook under the neck (photo 4). The buttons (photo 3) are decorative. Here are some measurements, though they are approximate: Length: about 50cm Width (underarm): about 45cm Sleeve length (from collar): about 49cm Sleeve width: about 20cm It will be shipped folded.
