Cape
A cape made of a Liberty fabric woven with a pattern of cream and pink lilies on a green ground, which may be for furnishing. The yoke and edge of the collar are embroidered with a similar pattern; the cape is lined with gold coloured silk. The collar is gathered and shaped to echo the wing-shaped line of the yoke; the cape could have been worn with the collar up, to frame the face, or turned down. There is a hanging loop at the neck and a self pocket and straps for the wearer's arms to pass through.
