Beautiful feathers
Fast Delivery, I placed a order last night and it arrived today the feathers were a beautiful color, it was well made, foam under the feathers for a comfy fit. I was surprised that the package also has cute little flower pins in it so it’s much easier for me to pin them on. Perfect accessory for my outfit:)

Detectable?
Detachable? There is nothing to ATTACH it with!! It's a DYI!!!! Get out your sewing kit or the glue gun! And the feathers are not as large as the photo would lead you to believe- the front view has the entire feathers pad placed forward, and the rear view has the feathers pad placed towards the back- 2 sets of shoulder feather pads would be needed to get the full shoulder look of the photo.

Tricky Assembly Required. Nice Concept, But Doesn’t Quite Work Out.
This is quite a tricky and finicky costume piece. It arrives with assembly required and no instructions for doing so, so you might want to keep some reference images from the product page saved or whatever. What you get is the elaborate, appliqué chest piece (bib) that ties in the back using a cheap ribbon, the two, padded, feather shoulder pieces (epaulets), and 4 pins for fastening the epaulets to the bib.The bib is completely sheer, so don’t think you’re getting any kind of top that provides modest coverage; this is just an accessory. It looks well-made, but it has some severe creases at the bottom that I’ll have to relax out. My biggest problem with the bib is that even when tied at the tightest possible position, it still sits way too low beneath my collar bone, while on all of the models in the product images, it sits neatly across the collar bone. If I pull it up, the entire perimeter of the collar area juts upward and creates uneven waves, and if I let it sit low how it wants, the top-center bows outward to create a gap rather than lying flush. Basically, I can’t get it to lie neatly across my chest, so that basically kills the whole look. Womp womp.The epaulets are mostly nice. The thick rows of black feathers have a lovely, reflective, green sheen to them, but the color highlights are not as dramatic as they look in the product images, being much more subdued instead. The feathers are neatly sewn onto a shoulder pad material that provides these with shape and stability. Unfortunately, the ends of these pads exhibited some messy stitching that I had to trim.The 4 pins are standard, push-style, fashion pins with backs that slide on to create a secure grasp and pull off by pinching the release tabs. All the pins are black, 4-petal flowers with a silver outline and a silver dot in the center. They look and feel nice, and they work well.To assemble this piece, start by fastening the bib around your neck however you’d like it to lie (maybe you’ll have better luck than I did). Next, hold the epaulets up to your shoulders to figure out where you want to pin them onto the bib. This is where you’ll want to reference the product images to get an idea of what good positioning looks like. Rather than struggling to pin them in place at this point, I memorized their location using the patterns on the bib as indicators. I just counted the number of scroll dots to determine ideal placement. Then, after taking off the bib, pin the epaulets to the bib. My advice on getting a good pin is to align the strip of ribbon on the epaulet directly over the outermost pattern of the bib, and try to push the pin through both the center of that ribbon and the center of that pattern. Also, don’t place the pins right by the final feathers of the epaulets; instead, space them closer together, as the front of the epaulets can jut forward in the front quite a bit without being pinned down at the very end. This will make it easier to create a nice shape. You might have to play with these a bit to get it just right.Overall, this is a neat idea, but its execution leaves much to be desired. Since it’s not pre-assembled, it should include thorough assembly instructions and helpful tips. Also, I’m totally disappointed with how the bib lies across my chest, and I haven’t found a solution to that yet, so this item is basically useless to me right now, other than being pretty to look at.

The photo is a bit of a stretch for what you get
Let's be clear. You DO get a lacy front thingy and you DO get two epaulets that I THINK somehow you can attach to the lacy thing. But notice that the model is wearing something underneath both. Something black. You do NOT get that thing, whatever it is. So naked breasticles will be showing if you don't have something to wear underneath this lacy thing. You've been warned.Also, not the best quality garment. But my Sis will love it.
