Description Edit, This item is no loger for sale, however if you are interested in having a similar one made, please send me a note.

A capelet I recently made. It was inspired by some design work I'm doing on a Mouth of Sauron costume for my sister. It is a crinkle rayon lower section attached to a cotton velvet yoke. The rayon is gathered in raised lines or "ribs" Each one of the "ribs" ends in a slight point, giving it a slightly serrated bat wing edge. It is unisex, and will fit a size small to medium easily. The front of the cape edge stop just above your elbows, and the back falls just below your rump.

I am interested in this, is there any way you could make a similar one? and also, how much would it cost?

Where did you get the pattern for this? I have 3 yards of purple heavy wool fabric, and I want to make one I'll wear it and be warm this winter!!

The pattern is actually of my own design. It's basically a full circle cloak, cut to the preferred length. with the yolk in the center... Thought the ribs on this were a real b*** to lay out.

You're a very talented designer as well as seamstress! Those ribs do look like a royal pain in the butt, though they do look excellent in result.
You amaze me

Thank you! :bluc=sh: I'm still learning, I consider myself an novice at many aspects of self drafting and designing.
They were.... But I did it again in the Woods men caplet... That one was even more of a pain!

I love the pin tucking and the pleating ^_^ the rayon has such a nice flow, and the different tones of black work nicely. Good trim too ~grin~ I hope someone buys it.
