For the price of this costume, I am STUNNED by the quality. The fabric is gorgeous with pretty colors and the subtle brocade texture that adds such a nice touch of texture. It's actually got some drape to it, which is a huge standout! Construction is very sturdy as well with serged and bias-bound edges all around. The sleeves are also angled to be extra long under the armpit for that butterfly wing effect. Shinobu also flares slightly from the waist to create a lovely shape and flowy movement. I installed a lining for myself out of preference, but this haori was beautiful and ready to wear right out of the bag. I've never had a purchased cosplay be this stellar before!
