I've only worn it once (＞人＜;) I think it's a beautiful item with no stains (*^^*) Purchased at a store several years ago. Stored in a closet after home cleaning. The outer fabric is smooth. I think you can wear it for a relatively long time, such as with tights or boots. The waist has a zipper in the back, and elastic only in the back. I will pack it compactly using Yu-Packet Post (＞人＜;) Please understand that there may be some folding wrinkles.
