Capes

[sundaymorning]

i bought a cape from ebay about a year ago and love it! it comes to just below my hips and makes me feel like im from the olden days in london, jack the ripper-esque (without the killings!).

very cute ^^ thanks

i am curious about the part where the arm joins the body
is it two pieces?
the sleeve and body

like a sleeve connected to a babydoll dress

Sorry that I am so late! It's one piece

Heres mine I love it

i have a cape in the same pattern..

the shape of mine is a bit different...
a little longer with two slits in the bottom for arm movement..
probably the same brand though i would guess...
mine has navy blue lining..

that tartan one is ace!

I know! I love how its not too contrasting with the bright red and black, the colours a bit more subdued so it seems a lot more wearable.

you shouldn't be debating, snap that baby up!!!

I have so many capes, I think people think I'm a bit crazy, but that's ok....

that is lovely gius! the geometry,albeit more severe,reminds me of what sruli recht is doing now. i think i posted his work earlier in the thread,if i remember correctly.

btw,regarding the street posts earlier,love that puffa cape and the knitted one that guy is wearing.

I got this awesome purple knitted shrug-cape at a garage sale of a stylist. I almost want it to be fall/winter so I can wear it. Maybe on chilly summer nights.
