Is 'spots' appropriate here?

Is 'spots' appropriate here? Would 'looks', 'sees', or 'notices' be a better choice?


Nina is standing at a sink desperately trying to wash the wine stains off her dress when a woman enters the bathroom. Nina spots her spotless dress.

Nina: Can I buy your dress?

Woman: Excuse me?

Nina: Can I buy your dress? How much do you want?
