Description
The high-peaked shoulders on this full-length pink wool cape represent quintessential 1890s styles. Elaborate beadwork, cords, and tassels mimic decorative elements of the theater. The straight silhouette, with roomy shoulders, was ideal for wearing over the puffed, gigot sleeve styles of the day.
