Embarrassingly enough, I purchased this cape for $9.98..and it gets worse: shipping was an additional $7.99. Ah, the lengths of which a girl will go through to complete a costume and try to look exceptional. This cape was cheaply made--seams are coming undone at all ends-- and the material is rather transparent. There is stiff material at the seams of the shoulders on the cape, causing a very broad look, which looks VERY odd for those with slender shoulders, as it puffs up dramatically and cannot be contained. The collar, which is my mistake for over looking, sticks straight up and remains immobile, feeling as though cardboard was shoved beneath the material. Perhaps a good cape for a very cheap vampire costume for a child, but not so much as an adult superhero. Seems like the only ass kicking I'll be doing is myself.
