This vintage 1930s to 1940s cape was made from an inky black rayon velvet material with stunningly vampy rows of coffin pleat detail. A sooth shoulder provides a sleek and slimming allure, with a cuffed neck and button toggle closure. Very dramatic, with a shorter front and scooped lower back that comes to a slight point at the center. This darling cape is fully lined in a loose knit silky black rayon satin material. A comforting heavier weight and below hip length makes this baby a perfect cooler weather accessory to wear over your favorite vintage pieces. 


Label: None

Era: 1930s-1940s

Material: Rayon velvet, satin

Color: Black

Size: Small, medium, large (please see measurements)

Condition: Nearly perfect with no holes, rips, or stains. Looks to have been very rarely worn. 

 

Measurements:

• Taken seam to seam laying flat, relaxed, then doubled


Shoulder: up to 19"

Length: 32” center front

Length: 37" center back


Fit Notes: Clings to the shoulder and drapes beautifully. Coffin pleating allows this piece to stretch significantly when worn so it is not constricting whatsoever. Mid-weight, so it is heavy enough for comfortable warmth but is light enough to not burden the wearer. No armholes. 

A Note on Buying Vintage

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:

• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina

These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
