Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 162, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1916 — Simulated Cape Effect. [ARTICLE]

Simulated Cape Effect.

Another novelty is a short coat, with a simulated cape at the back. This idea was expressed in a black and white check suit, hemmed with the new enamel black braid. The coat was arranged on surplice lines in front, fastening on the left side with the aid of a tab passing through a large slot. 4 The collar was arranged with a pretty cascade effect, while the back of the coat was nothing but a suggestive cape. The designers of these capes believe that their career will be so prosperous that they are making motor coats with capes without sleeves. The cape drapery at the back has a small yoke, while at the hem it is attached to the skirt of the wrap, which is very voluminous.
