Of course either the Tea Party or the Seashore would be lovely too. The Music Box buttons/snaps down the back if that appeals.

Both sides of the wool blend are soft (child friendly) and attractive, so I’ve decided to forego lining the cape. I think I could put the interface between the layers of wool and bind the raw edges. My question is, what to do about the neck facing?
