Review on Mantilla Shawl Scarf: Latin Fringed Women's Special Occasion Accessory by Eric Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks good from afar but stretches like tights?

I wouldn't be so keen on a (finally!) "real" mantilla (not D-shaped, but triangular) and would be a bit extravagant with the fringes. However, I thought it came with a snap pin (it doesn't) and while it's otherwise "correct", I've never had a mantilla stretch! Like tights! I'll try (don't know how to pin it without sewing because the fabric is so stretchy) but while the stitching is nice around the edges, you don't want anyone looking at it too closely. (Imagine taking it off after Mass and it's clinging to something and pushing like a bungee cord!) At least it's the right shape and has a tassel/fringe. If you don't "wiggle" then the line itself looks fine. Done well enough that people want to see it and think about the pantyhose "gift". Smh, I just don't understand the choice of material here. But 3 stars for the right shape and good stitching.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Upgrade availability
