This shoulder capelet is planned as a short outer layer that leaves the outfit beneath it visible. Shaped shoulder seams and a curved upper-arm hem give it a different construction from a sleeved jacket or a long coat.
Design details
The planned design includes:
- Short capelet silhouette ending around the upper arm
- Shoulder seams shaped to help the capelet sit on the body
- Open front with a single fastening at the neck
- Round neckline with a planned facing finish
Fabric ideas
Consider a lightweight wool woven, soft suiting or a stable cotton with enough body to hold the curved outline. Test the main fabric and any support material together so the neckline stays comfortable without excessive bulk.
Sewing notes
The main construction areas are the shoulder shaping, neckline facing and curved hem. Fit a sample over the clothes you intend to wear underneath, checking neck comfort and arm movement before placing the fastening.
Layer the finished capelet over a simple dress or a blouse with a narrow skirt.
