Are capes still in? I'm late to the party!

I know I should make what I like and where I live now is a bit behind anyways so maybe I'm on point with a cape. But nonetheless, what are your thoughts on whether capes are on the way out? ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

Date: 1/17/13 1:28 AM I never saw anyone wear them where Im at. I think they're one of those things that if you love it, go for it! I bet you will get lots of compliments too. When people wear stand out clothing, you always get admiring looks. I adore capes personally. Good luck with yours!

I just wondered where they stood. I haven't seen any here but then again I live in Montana now. You either have the western look, which is cute actually or there seems to be a standard middle aged woman uniform which includes jeans with the bedazzled butt and Dansko clogs together. It's scary! ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

I rarely see anyone else in them but always get compliments when I wear mine, also palazzo pants, another one of my faves. I say,"Life is so short, wear what you love!" ------ 61sew4fun

It really hasn't see much use and still looks fine. I always get compliments when I wear it. ------ Karen Yards in stash: I don't want to know! 2013 yards sewn: 1 2013 yards bought: 5

Date: 1/17/13 3:44 PM What's in is whatever you can pull off with finesse and no embarrassment. The embarrassment bit was added with regard to body parts and not wearing a cape, which could be spectacular. Go for it! If anyone asks, it was custom made!

Date: 1/19/13 6:38 PM I don't think capes truly caught on enough in the mainstream to either have been in, or now out. Unlike the poncho craze of several years back, where they looked very out after the trend was done. So you can wear them as one of those chic classic items.
