I found this pattern at a thrift store, and then later I was happy to see that it had been featured in an article in Seventeen Magazine (in October of 1971), along with numerous photos actually shot in Copenhagen!

A cape just seems so right for this time of year, something to bundle up in and keep warm.

I love the dress or coat on the right in the first picture. The cape is gorgeous. Interesting story of the designer. I see she uses her married name, I guess that was common for back then. I wonder where they are now. A dog named Booze. Hmmm, wonder what they named the baby. LOL?
