I wanted a long, billowy cloak that wasn't too heavy, wasn't too hot, and had a bit of volume to it instead of laying flat on my shoulders. This was the perfect option.
Its a very lightweight, sheer cloak, made of multiple layers of soft tulle (not at all scratchy!), with a wide, loose hood and a piece of ribbon sewn across the collar that you use to tie on. The fabric is pretty sturdy, especially given how thin/wispy it is. (Tried to pull it/rip it apart with my fingers and it didn't rip. After 3 or 4 events wearing it with a lot of walking and brushing up/against walls, tables, etc, there's still no visible holes or tears I can see.)
Like most people already mentioned, its very long. I'm 5'7" and it definitely dragged on the floor for at least a few inches behind me, which could be useful if you're looking for that kind of spooky look. If not, it would be very easy to trim to desired length.
Extra details: There's the main section, made of 3 layers of fabric, that's the base of the cloak and drapes across your shoulders.
Then there's two separate sections on either side, each 2 layers of fabric, sewn on top of the main section. These are exactly half the width of the main section and side-by-side, and the gap is essentially indistinguishable, giving it a unified look (even though its 3 long sections). This gives the cloak a thicker, fuller, billowier(?) appearance, but also allows it to drape over your hands and arms without tugging on the fabric across your back, if that makes sense. (in the photos where it's on a hanger, you can see that it appears thinner in the middle and thicker on the sides due to this layering effect).
Basically what it means is that all-in-all, while wearing it, you have a 5-layer thick cloak on the sides/arms that are able to wrap around you, with the 3-layer base always at your back.
I was using it for a renaissance faire costume, so I ended up sewing some of the extra length into a ruff around the neck which gave it a regal look that still allowed the hood to be functional. I also added the white clasp so I didn't have to use the ribbon it came with.
Overall looked great, was easy to use, seemed long-lasting, and actually protected me a bit from the autumn chill. Would buy a gain but probably won't need to for awhile yet.
