| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Cape made of white fox fur. It is elbow length and curved from a neck band of pale pink satin such as lines the cape. The cape consists of two bands of fox fur narrowing from centre back to front joined at intervals with narrow bands of the same fur so that the centre band would have shown the colour of the dress. The cape fastens at the neck with a hook and eye and the label is stitched at the centre back neck.
