Create a dramatic batwing cape with this Victorian-inspired pattern – a creative modern reinterpretation of an 1887 fashion plate from Italian magazine "La moda illustrata."

DESIGN INSPIRATION This cape draws inspiration from a fancy 1887 Victorian design, reimagined by ButterflyGarments © for contemporary makers. While the original featured whalebone channels, this modern interpretation uses steel wire for 3D shaping – easier to source and work with while achieving dramatic results - and a back triangular cut. The cape is held by a small ribbon on the neck, but you may insert clasps, or snap buttons, or even try to add a collar all over the neck (NOT included).
