    Cloaks really became a fashion force with the young chic woman about town was in the 1930s. 1930s capes and cloaks, teamed with bias cut skirts and dresses have stylish look about them. Some cloaks merged into coats almost and the cape influence is strongly shown in the shoulder lines of many fashion drawings of coats and jackets of the era. Small capes also made the perfect cover up for a backless dress. Some of these merged into the bolero cum spencer styles also so useful with halter top dresses.

    Long Cloaks were also the ideal cover up for the full evening length dresses of the 1930s.

    Making this is very simple: Use any fabric material; sew the collars on the top of the width of the fabric; sew the buttons; and sew the pockets as well.

    Conversations can continue, however, the method I described above might have some mistakes. I hope you correct them.

    Hope you can make semi-tailored cloaks of the 1930s!
