Is anyone doing capes this year?

Dotty P has some cheap ones, I like the belted style as you can choose whether to havea fitted look or not.

I had a cape/poncho type thing last year. I loved it and t was much admired on the school run. It was from River Island.

Then I wore it to visit my mum in her nursing home on the dementia unit. Despite having no memory of anything said five minutes ago, my mum and assorted residents managed to mercilessly mock me for dressing like Clint Eastwood in an old western whilst asking what I was doing with "that fat man" (DH). A true leveller.

Elsie!!
I always think they look glamourous. But the what bag issue coupled with the feeling ridiculous in them, and now the fat cowgirl look.
That's a 'no' then!!

I quite like this one and it's in the sale, but I'm very short and I think it's too long to look good on me.

I love them but can buxom (ahem slightly porky) ladies wear them???

There can be a bit of a "District Nurse" look to them. Didn't the district nurse in Open All Hours (Ronnie Barker, David Jason, Lynda Baron) wear one?

I quite like the casual DP ones, bit tempted...

We're they an official part of the uniform Toughas? They look a bit impractical, all the fabric flapping about.

Were not we're. Stupid autocorrect. Leave me alone will you.

Did you ever wear it?
1992!!! Who would have thunk in 1992, nurses wore capes. That was yesterday! (for some of us ahem mature-ish folk)
