30s Vintage White Feather Capelet Short Marabou Cape Bride Wedding Small I Magnin VFG
Oh my, this vintage marabou capelet is so soft and ethereal and would be perfect for a bride! I believe it is 1930s because of the closure. It is constructed from two layers of silky fabric. The marabou feathers are sewn in concentric circles to the outer layer.
MATERIALS: Marabou feathers and acetate type fabric in cream.
SIZE: no size label. Capes tend to be one-size-fits-most but I would say this is on the smaller side.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
