On its own this is an all-right looking piece. I put this on my teen for a Zombie Walk. We stuck it to her back with some pro-quality glue and covered it generously with "old scab" blood gel and theater stage blood. Instant gore. It looked disturbingly realistic even though you could see the edges at that point. She put her top on and we cut the back so the injury could be seen through, then added more blood. Folks got a real charge out of her outfit as she was ghastly coming and going. She wore it for about 4 hours in hot weather. We still had to use solvent to remove it. It withstood the glue and the solvent without any degradation. It was very easy to clean up and pack away for re-use later. Well worth the money.
