I purchased this new and wore it once for the entrance ceremony. I wore it for about two hours. It has been home laundered. The corsage and ribbon are removable. It's very elegant and cute. I didn't see any other children wearing it. I think it can also be used for piano recitals and ceremonies. I purchased it new from a department store. The white socks are also new, but I stepped on some colored pencils and there are some marks. However, they are on the soles, so they won't be visible when you wear shoes.
