Civil War Style SUMMER CAPELETTE Short Cape Timeless Stitches PATTERN TS0-403

Description: Timeless Stitches TSO-403 "SUMMER CAPELLETTE" Pattern. This is a new, unused pattern in the original factory fold. The pattern is one size fits most, suitable for girls from 14 years old and all ladies. From the pattern: "The name for this garment comes from Le Beau Monde, a French magazine, popular at the time. The Spring 1862 edition described a "summer capellette made of silk or gauze" that would "make a delightful addition to every young ladies wardrobe." I liked the name so much I chose to use it for this pattern. Peterson's Magazine of October 1863 describes, "circular mantle have been lately introduced and are finding great favor" and "Every maker gives them a distinctive character by variety of trimming, and sometimes a new name, but they are in reality the same article." This pattern is for a lightweight unlined cape, that is meant to be trimmed with lace or ruffles. The capelette gets its light airy qualities from your choice of fabric and trims. The garment closes in the front with self-fabric ties or ribbon. Other methods of closures may be used such as hook and eyes or a loop and button. This garment is meant to be worn on those warm summer days when fashion dictates women wear an outer garment but the weather says "too hot!" This capellette will work as a covering for a low-necked bodice to extend its wearing into the afternoon. A capellette of the same fabric as your skirt and bodice would nicely round out an outfit and create and extra "look." I am happy to combine shipping on multiple items.
