As shown in the second and third photos, there are two spots where threads are slightly visible. It's not very noticeable, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The waist is elastic and relaxed, and the silhouette is also designed to be a relaxed wide fit, so please consider it if it suits your body type. The color in the first photo is the closest representation. There is no fading at all. I have only worn it twice, so there are no visible stains. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions.
