This was a gift, and my child only wore it once before outgrowing it. It's a short-sleeved shirt, but the fabric is thick, so I think it would be too hot for the middle of summer. Overall, the color has faded, but I didn't see any stains. However, there's a possibility I missed something, so please only consider this if you're not overly concerned about minor imperfections. The pink color is prominent and very cute.
