I wore this once, then washed and stored it. The overall color appears bluish in photos, so the color might look slightly different, and there might be some discrepancies from the actual image. I tried my best to iron the pleats along the folds, but I'm not good at ironing, so please understand. I may flatten the ribbon and not tie it when shipping to adjust the thickness. Water damage protection: I will ship it in an envelope or paper bag. Please be aware that there may be creases from folding and some disruption to the pleats. Please also read my profile. It may take some time to ship, but thank you for your understanding. #skirt #zipper
