Sewing Pattern - 1917 Evening Cape Pattern - 3-piece pattern in one size with partially illustrated instructions. The wonderful cocoon shaped cape of the late 1910s is here in a very simple version to construct, yet beautifully trimmed with fabric flowers! Faced slashes at both sides of the front allow for arm movement. 3-piece pattern in one size with partially illustrated instructions and color art as shown. Fashion in the period 1900-1910 in European and European-influenced countries continued the long elegant lines of the 1890s. Tall, stiff collars characterize the period, as do women's broad hats and full "Gibson Girl" hairstyles. A new, columnar silhouette introduced by the couturiers of Paris late in the decade signaled the approaching abandonment of the corset as an indispensable garment of fashionable women. Huge, broad-brimmed hats were worn in mid-decade, trimmed with masses of feathers and occasionally complete stuffed birds (male hummingbirds for those who could afford them), or decorated with ribbons and artificial flowers. Masses of wavy hair were fashionable, swept up to the top of the head (if necessary, over horsehair pads called "rats") and gathered into a knot.[10] Large hats were worn with evening wear. By the end of the decade, hats had smaller drooping brims that shaded the face and deep crowns, and the overall top-heavy effect remained.
