This half-cloak, or "capelet," is a simple but elegant cloak made from a NAVY BLUE velvet material (fairly lightweight) and then entirely lined in NAVY BLUE satin. Perfect for regency, Victorian, or Civil War eras. Appropriate for the time period, it is cut in a circular pattern. It has a short circular collar and closes just beneath that at the throat with a two-button clasp, gold in color, and loop. Currently we carry this caplet in ten different colors, but if you need one we do not have, please tell us, since we are always looking for new items and color combinations to add to Artemisia's current offerings.
(The Chemise and skirt shown in some of the photos are for
demonstration purposes ONLY and are NOT included in the purchase of the
cloak.)
The cloak measures 58" around the chest, but please
remember that this measurement must include your arms alongside your chest,
since the cloak goes over both at the same time. The shoulder measurement for
the cloaks is 23.5" shoulder to shoulder across the back. The cloak
measures appx. 30.5" long from the center back neck to the bottom of the
cloak, and 162" around the circumference of the bottom hem.
