Four of my caped pieces ^^ All made with vintage stretch chiffon ^^ I am hoping to find more of it, I have one supplier, but this store is running out of it and only has specific colours left (no black for instance). Otherwise there are many other lovely chiffons and voiles, so I will live, but there is something particularily awesome about this one, it has the softest most supple feel ever <3
