Thanks Ann! I made the cape version a few years ago for winter. I am eager to see how yours turned out!

Ann, thanks for the review. I actually had this pattern in my hand on Saturday, for view B. I did not take it home, but after this review, I think I'll pick it up. Have you tried getting in and out of a car with it on yet? I am curious if you have the mobility to drive wearing it, or is it a wrap that you might wear just walking into a swishy do?

Thanks for the review, I'm looking forward to the photo. I love the high drama of a cape, but I'm always afraid I'll look like I was swallowed-up by a bolt of fabric! One of these days, I'm going to just go for it!

Looks very elegant! Is there no kind of fastening at all?

Asa, there is no fastening on this cape. You just throw one frontpiece over the opposite shoulder and strut your stuff :). Ann you do have mobility, but I'll have to report back in cooler weather on how it is to driv with it on. Definitely fine for a swishy do! -Ann

Ann - did you make also make one of your fabulous coordinating bags? Cape are lovely but they really seem to need a nice handbag - shoulder bags just ruin the look.

Ann, that is just lovely.

Nice cape! It looks regal. Phyllis is right. Sharpen your scissors? That would look lovely with a Vogue fall bag pattern.

Very elegant English style cape.

That fabric is a wonderful, unusual find. You can literally wrap yourself in its lovely warmth.

Flowing lines and really elegant. My only worry would be preventing it from falling off the shoulder. I guess you might have to practice?

Oh Ann, how beautiful! I just love the drama of a cape.

What a lovely cape and a great idea to make one. I keep an old fleece cape in my office to wrap myself in when the climate control is malfunctioning (often). I should make one of these replace it!

So sophisticated, yet deceptively simple. Hmmm! This gives me ideas for a wide 3 thread serger decorative edge project for a class, now that I'm going to be teaching.
