I purchased this item in February of this year and am selling it because my child outgrew it after wearing it once on an outing. It has been washed twice, including the initial water wash (using baby laundry detergent). There are no noticeable stains or frays, and it is still in good condition. There is a small stain (from a can of Hohoemi milk) on the black circle in the fourth photo, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this. Thank you for your interest.
