I don't like their shape. It's essentially a lined square fabric with a large hole cut out on one side. The hole is very wide, so it almost always falls on the child's neck. Due to the fact that it is square at the top, the edges of the cape extend past the shoulders. It looked uncomfortable. It reminded me of Pancho. I thought they were rounded at the neck like a real cape. This was a gift for a 3 year old. I was very disappointed. I wish I had spent my money on better costumes.
