Pattern Description: Semi-fitted, unlined cape has convertible collar, lower side front seams with pockets and stitched hems. No provisions provided for above waist adjustments.

More pics and close up's at the BLOG

Pattern Sizing: I cut the small but could have cut the x-small. I wanted to make sure I could move my arms so I went for the small but now that I am wearing it I think I could have gotten away with the x-small.

Did it look like the drawing on the pattern once you were done sewing with it? Yep with the exception of the visible buttons.

Were the instructions easy to follow? This is actually a pretty easy cape to make, it is unlined but has some self facings in the front of the cape with needed some hand sewing but all in all it is an easy to follow pattern with clear instructions.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Like I mentioned above I loved the cape from the Giambattista collection when I saw Victoria Beckham wearing it and then my friend Erica B made it in camel and I knew I had to have one.

Fabric Used: Red Textured Wool/Poly Blend

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I only omitted the button holes per the pattern instructions.

Would you sew it again? No, I love the cape but I only need one of these in this shape so I will move on to the other 3 capes I want to make, lol

Would you recommend it to others? Yes!

I have been wanting to make a cape and just purchased a different pattern, but so want this neckline and collar! Off to the fabric store... if it stops snowing.

I have been admiring RTW capes and yours is prettier by far. Now I am inspired to get this pattern and make my own. Thanks for a great review.
