I’m officially going to be on hiatus for the next two weeks.

Finals are coming.. first grades, then fashion! See you all then!

Feather evening cape | Met Museum | 1920s
I just love the idea of a flapper with this draped around her shoulders.

Thank you! I generally try not to muddle the gorgeous garments with too much trivialities but sometimes they’re just too stunning or significant to me to hold back - I’m glad my comments are well-received!

I don’t understand why this doesn’t have more notes because it is positively film costume worthy. Can’t you see a fabulous female villain rocking this baby? So I’m reblogging my own post. Because it is an awesome cape.
