This cloak looks EXACTLY like it does in the picture - which I personally find very attractive about the whole purchasing process.  I tend to not care for merchandisers who basically lie about their product, and when you get it, it doesn't look anything like what you thought.  This cloak absolutely looks just as I thought it would.  It is very nice quality, and will make a wonderful costume cloak.  It is nice crushed panne velvet, soft, and luxurious.  It hits me at just the right spot on the ankle - I am 5'3", so if you are any taller, know that the bottom of the cloak will hit you higher.  The width is definitely enough to cover my "fuller figure."
A very nice find.  I recommend it for anyone trying to beef up their Halloween costume.
