This is an amazing costume. It can be pretty pricey (like most costumes) when buying it in a store or at a specialized Halloween / costume shop. But getting it off season from Amazon is a great steal. I bought this to wear to a very serious Halloween party - one where girls showing up in skimpy lingerie is not an acceptable costume. The party was mostly outdoors, which, in October, can be problematic as it can be chilly.

However, the cloak was actually heavy enough to wear and I didn't need a jacket. The clasp for the cloak is pretty, and it held  up well. The dress (its one-piece) is creatively made. Be prepared to wear a shirt underneath unless you want your bra showing, though, simply because of how it's cut and slit up to look shredded. Overall, its not light or flimsy. It's well made, not cheap. The belt was to be desired but really, I could care less.

As far as the other accessories, I just wore black leggings and leather riding boots, as opposed to the ripped up stockings and heels. Personally, I felt like the outfit I'd put together actually looks better than what's displayed in the picture. And legitimately went as Dead Riding Hood - zombie make up and all. I bought mine a little big, and I was glad I did, it was baggy without being unattractive, but that made it easier to put on the zombie make up without having to be completely covered in it. I completed the look with messy ringlet curls and tangled red ribbons.

Overall, it was an awesome costume. I'm definitely saving it to wear again. It was the best costume I've ever put together.
