Thread Talk | Cloaks and Capes

1 – 🧵Welcome to #ThreadTalk, #fashionhistory friends! It’s another week, and we have a new topic: Capes & cloaks! Get ready to swish, cavort, and swirl. And perhaps even lurk out in alleyways or prepare to fight evil. Tonight is going to be fancy. (Met Museum, Pingat; 1885-89)
