Late nineteenth century black lace cape that's beautifully constructed in an unusual ruffled style. The neck has pleated lace for height, pleated ruffles down the front, and a hook and eye to fasten it tightly. I've shown it tied with the long silk grosgrain ribbons instead. The lace itself appears to be rayon, or perhaps a cotton and silk blend, because it has a slight sheen. It's a small to medium size because of the way the shoulders fit, and measures approx. 32" from mid-back neck to hem wit... Click for details
