I got the idea for this unusual cape from a 1950’s movie. In it one of the characters was a high fashion model. She came out in an evening gown with this mass of chiffon flowing everywhere and only connected to a collar. I thought it an interesting idea and decided to test it out in a much smaller version.
What do you think? Anyone ready for an adult version?
