1890's cape nearly done

[madamemodiste]

I finished it last night aside from some trim I don't have in The Stash, and finishing the hems on the bottom front points.

So imagine the revers have lace trim and that there is a wide black satin ribbon closure at the top!





Also, for those interested, here is a picture of the original cape that inspired me:

Oh no!! That's where I got the pinstripe fabric for my 1890's suit just a couple weeks ago!! I love that one, and I'm so sad it's closing. They only had metallic brocades, so I didn't get any of that, but in the past I've found great stuff there. Guess I'll have to schlep to the 3 other locations.
