Get the bag. You will love all the zippered compartments. My daughter has an accessory-heavy dance competition costume this year and we needed something to keep the gloves, bracelets, hair piece, tights, lipstick shade, and shoes all organized and safe. We can quickly check that all the pieces are accounted for. The plastic is heavy and even in the rain kept those expensive dance costumes safe, clean and dry. We added a vinyl decal of my daighters name from a friends Cricut machine to personalize the bags. All six girls have now ordered this bag because its that awesome!
