About the Item

The most majestic and eye-catching cape you could ever set your eyes upon. Rendered in vibrant shade of red wool and decorated with cream wool soutache embroidery, edged with gold lamé soutache embroidery, in a trailing floral design, and finished with claw set silver rhinestones, this original early 1940's piece is sure to bring cheer to your seasonal wardrobe. The soft V shaped neckline of the cape is framed by a simple slopping shoulder line, accented by shoulder pads along each shoulder seam. The elegant shoulder line and yokes are decorated with trailing cream wool floral soutache embroidery, edged with gold lamé accents, and contoured with a scattering of silver claw set rhinestones, this embroidery can be found along the back of the neckline and nape. The length of the cape is set off by the wonderful drape of the wool and small side slits in which one can thread ones arms. Fully lined in red coloured rayon, this phenomenal piece is sure to be a seasonal favourite in your collection.
