Woolen Cloak Dilemma!
#14
Thank you for all the great tips! I know that this wool is worthy of a sophisticated collar. I WAS thinking about velvet, perhaps red but black would look totally rich and feel good at the same time. I'm just hesitant to work with it. Well, more like a big chicken!! With my skills, it would look like crushed velvet in the end... ;-)
The sides are completely open but there is plenty of draping fabric to keep me warm. There are no tags anywhere on it and the tassels on the ends are professionally done. Someone, sometime, spent a chunk of change on this! Now, I'm heading off to my button stash to change those generic black domes out. When it is altered, I will feel beautiful and warm!

The close up shows the detail because it was lightened. Really it is a deep black. Oh yeah, the "tassels" are really fringe and the cotton collar- it's wool too. Shows how much I looked at it versus felt it on me. LOL
For normal folks, the bottom would hit about their knees. The top would be elbow length. I'm not even five feet tall so it is a mid-calf and forearm fit and it sways beautifully. I'm so thankful I didn't need to make one, I was all ready to shell out the $$ to buy a pattern and wool too. [ATTACH=CONFIG]349965[/ATTACH]
