Cape #1, late 19th century

[isiswardrobe]

A cape in black silk, covered with net. The net is dark brown now, but I think it was black originally. The net has appliques made of black felt, outlined in a narrow braid. The hem has a ruffle. The edges are trimmed with very thin transparent silk, pleated.
