I went to the fabric store and bought a pattern for cape and dress together. I made the cape and cut it to the desired length. It looks great.

But how do you shape the cape?

Any way you want to.

Good source for a pattern would be cowboy shirts -- they have various types of capes, pointed, round....make your alterations - attach at neck - finish with bias tape or facing and you are in business. I have made a couple tradish shirts with capes -- look real nice!

Oh, I also stitch through cape and shoulder seam a little to keep it from sliding around. Just a hint!
