It's a bit difficult to tell, but the color is a dark brown. I've worn it about 3 times, but due to the nature of the material, there's some slight fuzzing on the back. The waist is elastic. It's a velvet-like pleated design. There used to be a string at the waist, but I lost it. There are holes where it used to be threaded.
