I love it because it has some elastic which pulls in the back and front to make it a bit more fitted, which was a more flattering fit for me.

I've seen them many times, actually a few ladies are now starting to wear lighter weight versions here in Florida. You did a great job on this one, just absolutely stunning, but I agree with Gita...curious as to why you're not smiling? Is it too cold out or just one of those times you just didn't feel like smiling?

I think the colours are working and the two sides are really clever, and well executed. I'm wondering about how the fur changes the proportions of the collar and the effect that has on the sleekness of the cape. <br /><br />I'm not a cape girl myself but I laughed at Julz suggestion of shortening it into bed jacket territory!

I like the cape idea since I live in mostly moderate climates where I just want an extra layer occasionally. I do think for genuinely cold weather they may not be so practical.

I'm going to guess that on the couple of times you have worn it, you have kept your arms inside the cape and just "swooshed" it back when you need to reach for a doorbell, or your husband's arm, rather than putting them through the slit. <br /><br />I totally understand the "need" for a cape, but I will admit that seeing yours makes me realise that as great as they look on the pattern envelopes, or in Burda, they don't really translate into real life. <br /><br />I have read your blog from beginning to end (discovered it a few months ago) and this is the first garment I've seen that I haven't liked. <br /><br />If I already owned a cape as fabulously made as yours (and reversable!) I would sew up the arm slits and cut it down to just below elbow length; buy a pair of elbow length gloves and then wear it as often as I could. <br /><br />JulieJoolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13910752034504826040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258632543894619198.post-38931292433204816072011-10-07T14:58:02.494-07:002011-10-07T14:58:02.494-07:00Love it on you!
