I was impressed with the quality of this costume.  It really is very nice for a Halloween costume.  The headband did not fit at all so it was not used but we found another one at a halloween shop.  My daughter had several Halloween events so it really needed to hold up well.  For the most part it did.  However, we found that if there were any areas on the arm band where there was velcro exposed, it "picked" her dress.  After her first event, the velcro had rubbed against her dress so much, the fabric had loose threads and pills all over where her arms had laid.  This got worse when she wanted to remove the cape as it tends to constantly pull loose from her arm bands very easily and was a little aggravating if she wanted to run and play.  For the last two events, I left off the cape all together and actually cut out the velcro pieces from that and stuck them to the arm band pieces to prevent more damage to the dress.  That helped.  My daughter got many compliments on this costume.  Despite the headpiece being ridiculously small, I do recommend it.  Like I said before, just try and be aware of the exposed velcro as it will tear up the outer lining of the dress.

UPDATE: 3 years later.  The Cleopatra costume has been hanging in my daughter's closet for the last few years. This year, much to my excitement, she planned to go as an 80s party girl for Halloween but at the last minute, she changed her mind. She loves the Percy Jackson series of books and decided she wanted to be a goddess. This is the day before Halloween so I tell her that we just need to pull together an outfit from what we have on hand. That's were this costume comes into play. We decided, despite pills and velcro damage from three years prior, it would make a perfectly suitable goddess dress. We cut off the front decorative flap of fabric, tied a gold rope around her waist, put her hair in a lovely side braid with a flower and topped it with sandals and her bow and arrow. Instant Artemis! It was perfect and she got many compliments. Of course the fabric damage bugged me but no one in the dark on Halloween noticed.
