The fabric has a slightly brushed texture, making it soft and warm against the skin. I've worn it a few times, and there's a slightly faded area around the left knee. Other than that, there are no noticeable stains or dirt, and I think it's in good condition. The sides have ruffles from the waist down to the hem, which is cute. The color is a dark, purplish blue, almost black, and the purple stitching stands out nicely.
