Winter White Cape…Vogue 8959
When I told you guys I've been on a "winter white" kick, I truly meant it.
I've been eyeballing winter white for a few months now.
I didn't jump on the cape bandwagon last year but I sure got mine in this year lol
I plan on wearing mine to DEATH. You hear me?
Since I'm wearing this to church I wanted to wear a skirt with it. I made a pencil skirt using the same fabric. This fabric is FABULOUS. I'm always skeptical about purchasing fabrics that are 100% wool. I almost always buy a wool blend. This fabric is a wool felt. I've never worked with it before but it was a dream and it is SUPER warm. I love it. I kept rubbing on my skirt during church lol.
NEXT time you see me in this I want to wear it with all black everything lol. I may put it back on in a couple of days lol. I LOVE it!
The exposure on this picture is ALL wrong but I love it. I told Kayla her mistake is my favorite picture:
I hardly ever show the inside of my clothes. I don't know why because the inside always looks as good as the outside lol. I let my photograher take my pictures so she can get practice and I love this lining so I figured why not…
The inside is equally as fabulous as the outside. I have had this fabric for the longest. I think I got it from Vogue Fabrics when I was in Chicago a few years back. I love the unexpected color when you open the cape up.
I kept my accessories SUPER simple. This outfit was a perfect time to wear my hat. I've had it over a year and this was my first time wearing it. When I pulled out my winter items I promised myself I would wear it this year. I pulled out my favorite bag, and even though the prints don't match I still love them together. I added a little texture to my look with my nude fishnet tights. Works for me!
My shoes I LOVE. They are BCBG Maxazria Laleh
I mean come on. Y'all know I LOVE shoes but something is happening to me lol. I'm loving them even more. ACK!
Let's not even talk about how much I'm loving gold right now lol.
Moving on lol
For those of you who sew, here is a review:
Pattern Sizing: XS-M
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were very easy to follow. I didn't need them but I followed them for the sake of this review.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved this style. So on trend right now.
Fabric Used: Wool Felt (This was my first time working with this and it feels AMAZING)
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I orginally cut view B because I loved that length while looking at the pattern. I didn't realize it would be so long on me. It stopped right over my knee and that was too long. I cut around 6 inches off so that it hit mid thigh. I loved that MUCH better on me. I also didn't add button holes. I was going to use a gold closure, but decided not to add anything.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I don't know if I'll make this again but I love it and I HIGHLY recommend this pattern. It was an easy sew project. That is exactly what I needed.
Conclusion: Great pattern, very well drafted. Pick it up if you like this style.

LOVE iT!!!!! That cape is one of your best creations so far, IMO! You look FABULOUS!!!
I’ve always dressed more in black but this year I find myself wearing a lot of pastels and white instead (all shades of white). Go girl!!
