Sorry this post is
late, I usually try to get my posts for my bridal blog out on Tuesday or
Wednesday, but I've not got around to it until today, this week.
I found the painting
which inspired this cloak on a blog post about the artist Robert Reid. This
cloak is inspired by a painting by him called Girl with Flowers. The painting
doesn't show much of the cloak she is wearing, but I have used the colours of the
painting and the flowers that are around her in this design.
The cloak is
intended to be made of a blue-mauve satiny fabric, and to use the same material
for both the outer and the lining of the cloak. The outer side of the cloak is
embroidered all over with purple flower shapes and swirls. The lining of the
cloak is mostly plain, but has a double line of decorative stitching running
down it at intervals. The cloak could potentially be made reversible with
either side able to be used as the outer side of the cloak. The cloak has a
short, collar-like panel where is fastens at the front. The longest point of
the cloak reaches to just above the knees, but the shape of it means that the
edges only reach to the waist. So it's definitely more of a decorative cloak,
than one that could be worn for warmth.
I hope you liked
this design. For more designs, check back here on November 1st, or visit my
