i had planned to post finished photos of my insane S2522 cape from my recent trip to paris–only i ended up only wearing it one day! and i didn’t take a photo!
it’s interesting how sometimes, when you are planning a garment, you see it styled very specifically. in this instance i had a clear vision of what the ideal “under garment” for this cape would be–a great blouse, a short skirt about the length of the cape, and a killer pair of boots. and you know what? it looked…ok.
who would have guessed that a great outfit for the cape would be that casual fridays classic, trousers and a button-down shirt?
blouse: elizabeth and james
trousers: madewell “widelegger”
belt: j. crew
scarf: hermes “Nuées Imaginaires”
I love this! The drape of the shoulders is so classy- I’ve been toying with a cape idea- now I must do it!
Great Style! You look terrific.
I’ve always wanted to see this pattern sewn up! The cape is AMAZING. I just love the shoulder details….so classy and it’s perfect for casual fridays!!
It’s fabulous – possibly one of the most wearable capes I’ve seen …. I could almost be persuaded – especially seeing it with shirt & trousers! I’ve just been exploring Sew Country Chick’s linky-party…. lovely to find you!
Dear Puu, I want one too!
Your cape is absolutely fabulous!!!!!
I would like to ask you a question: Would you sell this pattern (or a copy of it)? If yes, please contact me.
Thank you so much
Simone
