I designed and pattern cut this shape a few years ago and when sorting through my archives I came across it and just knew it would work really well in the range.

Capes are very special garments, they really are something out of a fairy tale, with this I wanted to create a shape that had all the romance but would also be practical and have a fashion edge so it could be worn back with other items in your wardrobe, hence it is fully sleeved so easy to wear and comes with a pussy bow tie to finish.

This piece has been created from a couple of vintage Irish “linen” tablecloths, the base fabric is in fact a woven floral jacquard in viscose which was produced in the famous Irish textile company “Old Bleach” Established in 1864, The Old Bleach Linen company was based in Randallstown , Northern Ireland and had its hey day between 1930 & 1950 with customers including Queen Victoria.

Old bleach textiles played such a part in Irish textile history the Victoria and Albert museum in Kensington London has many examples of their work on display and kept within their archives.

The textiles used for this design are tablecloths dating back to the 1950’s, with a base of ivory the jacquard weave creates a lustrous matt and shine finish and the hand painted florals are just exquisite, the fabric also offers a stunning drape and hand feel.

Each of the capes will be completely bespoke and made to order by myself for you in my studio in Derbyshire England.

Fit

This piece is designed to be dual sized and will best fit a UK 6-22, this piece is more fitted on the underarm and shoulder point than my usual block so although there is plenty of swish on the hem she does appear less oversized than my jacket block.

The length of this piece finishes at 51 cm / 20 “ from the shoulder point tip to hem, perfect

For sizing reference our Model Nargis is a UK size 12
