Pirates of the Seven Seas Purple Linen Pirate Shirt - Adult Standard - 2.7 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviewsmeh.
The shirt is most emphatically NOT made of linen. It is, in fact, made of synthetic material that closely resembles cheesecloth. It's absurdly light, which is a plus under hot stage lights or out on a beach - but also see-through. I wore a tank top under it and it worked out perfectly. Watch the fabric, because it snags very easily. But the laces and ruffles look great.
Average shirt
The price of this shirt is cheap and so is the quality.
The sewing is a bit rough with threads still hanging out from the ends of stitchings, especially at the sleeve ends, which I had to trim off.
At a distance it looks okay but close up the poor quality of the finished product is really noticeable.
As a prop for stage work where the audience are not close up, it would suffice.
The collar and frills or gatherings at the front are single layer and sewn with an over-locker and has an unfinished look about it.
It would not have been too bad if some edgings were sewn over these edges but I suppose the price would be higher.
The material looks cheap and the garment looks as though it was hurriedly sewn.
The photo itself actually looks better than the shirt.
Cheesy but it does the job
Went to a Prince Tribute and this trusty purple ruffley number actually garnered a compliment. I paid homage to the Purple One. Should you need to emulate Prince or if you like being a psychedelic pirate (and who doesn't?) this somewhat shoddily- put together yet functional number will meet your needs at a reasonable price. Ahoy!
