This cape was beautiful when it first arrived. It was well made and really nice. But after the first use, my daughter un-velcroed it and threw it on her bed and the velcro stuck to the seam. When we tried to get it off, it unraveled the seam. This has happened over and over again as she takes it off. If you don't re-velcro the top immediately after use, your cape will soon look ratty. Maybe a snap, button or tie would be a better idea for this cape.
