They are in style, but you'll pay dearly for them --- the one I bought 1/2 price was still around $100 and I ended up literally walking past it during a sidewalk sale in a higher-end plaza.. I walked past it three times then put it on layaway LOL. It's Victorian style (short walking cape) but modern print, though.

It would be very hard to find one that's completely Victorian/Elvish, unless you hit up the huckster's room at your nearest con -- which will cost you an arm and a leg and your firstborn child, but at least you'll get what you want?

Or people can learn to sew/offer favors to someone who does. If someone can hem a pair of jeans, they can hem a full circle cape. The instructions are online pretty much everywhere for how to lay out the fabric, and the main problem is finding some that's both pretty and wide enough and remembering to stay-stitch around the neckline so it doesn't stretch. Depending on how ambitious the cape-maker wants to get they can add lining, facings, trim, a hood, or even make a couple of hoods to switch out. A half circle cape is easier to find fabric for, but less fun and flowing. Here's hoping somebody reads this and gives it a go, 'cause I want cape-wearing company. If enough people wear them, maybe they'll become everyday wear again.
