This is a hakama romper for boys. It's easy to use, just put the haori (jacket) over the romper. I think it will be useful for events like the first meal ceremony (okuizome) and Children's Day. Although it depends on the individual child, in my family, we were able to use it for quite a while, from the first meal ceremony when they were still babies, until they started walking. The sight of them sitting with their legs tucked in wearing the hakama, and the way they toddled around, was incredibly cute. Since it's not something you wear every day, if you're looking for something affordable, please consider it. I don't think there are any noticeable stains, but please understand that it's been used by a child, so there may be some oversight.
