I haven't ironed it, but it can be ironed. It's cute, so I bought it in different colors. I'm also selling those. It has been used a little. It was useful for award ceremonies. It seems usable for small recitals as well. It has pockets on both sides, making it perfect for everyday use. The ribbon comes at the back of the neck. I don't think there are any stains, but I'm just an amateur, so please refrain from purchasing if you are very particular about the condition.
