This scarf is approximately 215cm long. It creates vertical lines, which gives a slimming effect. (For a person 160cm tall, it reaches the knees when draped without being wrapped around the neck.) Also, wrapping it around the neck creates a lot of volume, which can make your face look smaller. It seems like it would also be useful as a lap blanket indoors. There are no noticeable stains, but it is USED, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. *The coat in the photo is not included.
