I am so glad I bought this instead of being Mona Lisa from scratch. Although the frame can be awkward, it's easy to take off and put on. This was a big hit at two Halloween parties, and I am now referred to as Mona Lisa. Everyone had fun posing for pics in the frame too. I decided to add fangs and blood, saying she didn't smile because she was a vampire. Absolutely a fun costume and well worth it!
