Instant purchase is OK. I've worn it about 3 times, but it's been stored in the closet when not in use. The ribbon is the type you tie yourself. There are no noticeable stains, but please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. I will also send the buttons that came with the clothes when I bought them. *Please read the profile before purchasing to prevent any trouble. Cancellations after purchase are not accepted. Thank you. Color: Black Material: Polyester (synthetic fiber) Transparency: None Season: Spring/Summer Stains, tears, odors, etc.: None
