Very nice quality materials and workmanship.  You may dress it up or down.  I bought it for a night out on the town and it looked lovely for my long dress.  I replaced the plain buttons with fancier rhinestone buttons from JoAnne's and it made the cape look even more elegant.  The fabric is of excellent quality, like the fabrics a ladies' coat would be made out of. Good value-I am pretty picky about the quality of my clothes. I think the design runs a little big.  I bought a small, expecting it to be a little on the edge for me ( I normally am a 4-6 and 5'4"), thinking I may need a medium.  I could have gone down to an extra small if they had it.  It fits, but I am saying there was room to go down a size if I wanted.  Because it is a cape the size isn't a problem. I bought red, and it is a nice subdued red, but in the middle of the red spectrum. The slight ruffle at the neck gave it a nice design detail, a feminine touch, made it better than just a plain cape,  and got noticed by my hubby.
