I bought this at a limited-time shop when the movie was released. I wonder how many years ago that was... I've used it a few times as a regular apron. The white part at the bottom might be hard to see in the photo, but it's quite stained from cooking. The white fabric has yellowed considerably. After all, I used it as a normal apron... It's not just a print; it's an actual apron, and I thought it was wonderful to feel like Madoka just by wearing it! That's why I bought and used it. The Velcro closure works fine. It's been washed.
