Opera Cloak

$195.00

This full-length Opera cloak with its generous hood is all about maximum impact.

It’s designed to fall closed in front and hide many sins (coffee stains, unfinished costumes, contraband, kittens, etc).

Because it’s cut with a shaped shoulder seam instead of just as a circle or half-circle, this cloak tends to be much better at staying put when you’re wearing it – not sliding around or falling back and choking you.  The hood is large enough to hide your entire head, just in case you happen to be an assassin in need of anonymity or want protection from the elements.

The standard-priced version is unlined so you can wear them for LARP or as part of a cosplay and for indoor events without overheating (except for the hood, which sits much better with a lining).  The hood is lined with whatever material Kitty thinks looks best with the main body fabric.  There won’t be any trim on the cloak unless you specifically request some.

If you do want a fully lined version for the extra warmth or luxury, contact us and we’ll talk custom linings – we’ve done silk, wool, and even fur linings!  Then the price will depend on your lining of choice.

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’d like to add a full lining, please contact us for a quote.  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.  Because Opera cloaks take a huge amount of yardage, prices can vary a LOT depending on your material choices (and we’ll need to double-check to make sure we have enough left of some fabrics).  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. Same goes if you would like to add a lining to the body of the cloak.

For the main body and hood of the Masquerade cloaks, 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.

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.

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.
