I usually ship within 2-3 days, but there may be delays due to my children. I will contact you if this happens, so please be aware. The lining and floral pattern are connected, making it easy to wear. There are no major noticeable scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to items stored at home. I do not have any pets or smoke in my home. Please note that shipping may take some time due to having small children.
