The idea of this came along when I was looking for a jacket or something to layer with a brown floor-length dress. I could not find something I liked and most of the embroidered pieces available were priced above $100. I would probably wear this layer just once or twice and was not willing to spend so much on it. Thats when the DIY bug bit me again and I sewed my own cape for less than $15 and in just 3.5 hours.
