Description
Fabrics
Choose one fabric for the main body and hood of the cloak. Hoods are lined with a coordinating material (designer’s choice). The body of the cloak is unlined; if you want a lining, please contact us. If you want to choose your own lining, or add a trim, please see below for instructions.
WARNING: Your monitor may not show colours or textures accurately! If the exact shade is important to you, you can order a fabric swatch for $5, which will be deducted when you order anything.
Custom
If you don’t see the fabrics you’re looking for here, please check out the vast selection in our Fabric Galleries. With cloaks, prices can vary a LOT depending on your fabric choice. Once you have chosen a fabric, or if you want to pick your own hood lining material or add some trim, please contact us directly so we can send you a quote.
For the main body and hood of the Opera, you can choose from the following Fabric Galleries:
- Lycra Velvets
- Velours
- Woollens
- Faux Suedes (avoid canvas-backed)
- Suitings.
If you want to choose your own hood lining, choose one from the following Fabric Galleries:
- Light Satins
- Silkies
- Taffetas (plain weaves, textured, and pin-tucked types)
- Cottons
If you want to add a trim on the front edges, around the hood edge, and/or the bottom edge, select one or more from the Trims Gallery. If you want to add a lining to the bopdy of the cloak, please contact us for a quote.
Sizing
Seeing as how this is a cloak, one size tends to fit most. But if you are very tall or very short, or need a particular length for reasons of your own, let us know how long you would like your cloak to be – just measure from the hollow of your throat down to the desired hem length. The cost may change if the length gets much longer, because the shape of the cloak means that if it gets long enough, we may need to use an entire extra cloak-length of fabric.
If you’re really tiny or really large, send us any circumference measurement (pick chest, waist, hip, whichever makes you happy – this is not a fitted garment, so no need to get too exact) – and your height too, just for safety.
