Handmade Moth Capes

These Costume Cloaks Give Wearers the Illusion of Wings

— April 13, 2016 — Fashion
Handmade in Spain, these costume cloaks are the work of Etsy retailer CostureroReal and come in a variety of styles including a moth and Monarch butterfly.

The cloaks are designed to be used as a piece of costumery or perhaps utilized in a photoshoot, event or wedding. The ethereal design is made using cotton that has had the imagery printed onto it and wiring as the skeleton to give structure to the garment. However, those looking to have the costume cloak made from chiffon or voile can arrange it to be made as such.

The cloaks are required to be purchased about four to six weeks in advance of when they are required given the handmade, custom nature of the ethereal garments.
