This is a knit sweater with a Santa Claus and Christmas pattern. It was easy to put on because it's soft knit. I dressed my child in it several times during the Christmas season. There are no noticeable stains or tears, but there is some pilling due to the nature of the knit. Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item. If it doesn't sell after a while, I will give it to a friend and delete the listing.
