I bought this at a used clothing store. I'm selling it because the size doesn't fit. The faded navy color, typical of used clothing, is very cute. The back is plain. It's hard to tell from the photos, but the fabric is also very sturdy. The hood doesn't have strings. There's a stain on the inside of the right sleeve (near the elbow). However, I think those who like used clothing won't mind. I will wash and iron it before shipping after purchase. I'm also open to price negotiations. Feel free to comment!
