This sewing tip from Ruth Wyeth Spears and the 1920s adds a petal collar to a straight evening cape - a "luxury of the feminine wardrobe"! According to Ruth the collar is the most important part of the cape, and given the straight lines of these capes, I have to agree. :)
This tip includes a pattern for velvet petals that are sewn in tiers and create a soft, becoming frame for the face.
Enjoy!
Ooo... one could be a flower like in Disney's Alice In Wonderland! :)
ReplyDelete:) This petal collar makes quite a statement, doesn't it?
