These have been worn only a few times. There is no wear or fading, however I did take them in to alter rise and waist line. I bought 2 pair of these, lost weight and tried to make them fit. I've removed stitching but there is some damage in back below waist band.( refer to pics) If you wear your tops over your jeans this won't be visible. I'm offering them at a very low price because of prior alterations.
