I purchased this several years ago. There are no noticeable stains or blemishes. It has been stored in the closet. It has been dry cleaned. At first glance, it looks like it has glitter, but it actually has thin, sparkly threads (plastic?) that stick out on the outside. It's not very noticeable. It's slightly flared, with the bottom widening out. Black and white checkered flare skirt - Color: Black/White - Design: Checkered - Style: Flare skirt Thank you for looking.
