The major flaw:  although I ordered the set in April, 2018, and the photo and description of the item say it has a 2018 year charm,  I was sent a tassel with a 2017 charm on it.  We will either have to travel back to the past, return the item, or order a replacement tassel.  Otherwise, I was pleased with the purchase.  The white cap, gown, and tassel arrived packaged together.  The gown is nicer than I thought it would be. The stitching is mostly even, the seams are finished nicely, and there are no loose threads. The fabric is decently thick although with the white gown you will still be able to slightly see the color of my daughter's dress underneath. The fabric is polyester with a matte finish (not shiny).  The mortarboard is made of a heavy piece of cardboard covered with fabric.  Though one of the corners was slightly bent because of the way it was packaged, it is not that noticeable.  The cap has elastic at the back to help it stay on snugly. I would probably have given the product five stars except for the problem with the tassel. I'm glad I ordered far enough in advance to get things straightened out before graduation.
