I think this can be used for everyday wear as well as formal occasions (*^^*) How about for a school cardigan? There are no noticeable stains or dirt, but it has been used for everyday wear, and there are some inconspicuous pills here and there, but I think it can still be used. *I have noted any points I noticed, but please understand that this is a personal inspection, so there may be oversights. *Please feel free to ask any questions. *No claims and no returns, please. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. *Please understand that this is a used item that a child has used.
