Robe displays minor evidence of time and wear. There are areas of grazing to the satin that aren't immediately noticeable due to the shine and motion of the material but worth mentioning. The cuffs and hem also display some dinginess. There are a couple of thin areas along the back neckline and near the hemline. I affixed iron on patches to these as a means of preventing further disrepair (see final image for detail) though am unsure how well they will stay in place. Robe has been freshly hand washed by me and cleaned up beautifully over all, with its flaws allowing for easy, carefree wear.
