the picture looks much different than what you get. it's thin fabric, and the one I got came with a rip on the inside lining. it's ok for a costume, but like i said... looks nothing like the picture.  i got it for my daughter to use for a costume in a school play. upside is that it's lightweight (good under lights) and looked good from a distance.  i was afraid to try to wash it though, as it seemed like it would fall apart.
