Vintage 1930s Black Velvet Hooded Opera Cape | Gothic Cloak

Vintage Black Velvet Hooded Opera Cape (c. 1930s–1940s) A dramatic and romantic vintage velvet cloak featuring gathered shoulder details and a full hood. Lined in a soft cream satin that feels beautiful when worn and gives the cape its fluid movement. **Brooch not included** Condition: Good, wearable vintage condition with some age-related character. Light areas of velvet crushing (much less visible in natural light — shown in close-up and over-exposed photos for transparency). A rubbed spot where a button once was at the neckline. The neckline button is missing -- easy fix. Red/pinkish marks on the lining, likely from an uncapped pen. These age-related imperfections do not affect wear or drape and are reflected in price. Presents beautifully when worn, with all flaws far less noticeable than in these photos (again, all over exposed so you can see them against the black velvet). Features: • Black velvet shell (very soft velvet, typical of this era) • Full hood • Cream satin lining • Gathered shoulders • Open front styling • Elegant gothic / opera silhouette • Flows and moves beautifully Measurements: Length (shoulder to hem): 30" Open sizing — fits most frames due to the draped cape construction. Styling Ideas: Pair with slip dresses, corsets, prairie dresses, velvet gowns, turtlenecks, or layered knit looks. Works beautifully for dark academia, Renaissance Faire, holiday parties, gothic romance, and evening theater outfit
