It looks exactly the same in person as it does in the picture.
Note: It runs small!! I got a medium and I would say it is more like a small.
Also, it is completely see through! and very very short.
With the tights its not so bad. They aren't randomly snagged, there is a pattern to it, which looks a little too perfect, but still is a really neat costume. I bought it to use as a vampire, and I think it works well for that as well.
