Stand Collar Belted Cape

A hip-length women's cape with a wide flared cut, a stand collar, a centre front opening with one button at the neck, and a belt that runs across the back and passes through slots in the fronts.

When To Wear

As an outer layer in early autumn and spring, over a fine sweater or a blouse.
With slim trousers or a straight skirt, which balance the volume of the flare.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Cape cut, very full and flared from the shoulders, no sleeves: the shoulder seams run on to the outer arm edge.

Length: Hip length, with a curved hem.

Collar: Two-piece stand collar, interfaced, set between the cape and the facings.

Closure: Centre front opening with faced front edges; one buttonhole and one button at the base of the stand.

Back: Centre back seam.

Waist: Interfaced belt cut on the fold; it lies on the outside at the back and passes through slot buttonholes on the fronts. A ready-made belt can be used instead.

Finishing: Front facings and back neck facing, interfaced; 3 cm hem turned up and topstitched, with the facing ends stitched across the hem.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Slot buttonholes for the belt, a stand collar sandwiched between the garment and the facings, and faced front edges turned at the hem corner. Few seams overall.

Fabric Recommendations

Coating fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (front facings, back neck facing, collar, belt)
1 button

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance – 3 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 2 pieces
- Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
- Collar – 2 pieces
- Waistband (belt) – 1 piece on fold
From fusible interfacing:
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
- Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece
- Waistband (belt) – 1 piece on fold

Tip: you can use a ready-made belt.
