This is a thick, sturdy cardigan. It has a sailor-style collar and flowers, making it suitable for going out. It has a retro feel. The color is more of a creamy white than pure white, with refreshing blue lines. There is some barely noticeable dirt, and a couple of the buttons have minor scratches. Please check the photos. The buttons are also cute with flowers on them(^^) How about wearing it as a light jacket for accompanying siblings to entrance ceremonies, school entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc.? Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as this is used children's clothing.
