The elegant slopping shoulder line of the cape showcases the incredible external lamé, in shades of gold, grey and pink in an abstract floral pattern. The back of the cape is accented by a straight cup hemline, whilst the sides of the cape, are cut in rounded balloon designs, creating the cocoon cut, in which one can position your arms and elbows, adding to the wearability and stability of this piece. The cape is fully lined in black silk velvet, and can be reversible should you wish to add versatility to your wardrobe.
