Can anyone help me remember what these are called?

Those pretty little things you put on your shoulders to make them look nice and to also cover them up a bit. They are quite decorative.

I have to baptise DD this summer and Orthodox churches don't allow exposed shoulders.

Also links to where I may find some would be brilliant.

Thanks

Jules, you're getting so warm! What I was thinking is a bit tighter on the shoulders....

sheer capelet from Debenhams

Yeah, it hugs the shoulders, right ? And is a bit higher than the feather one ?

Jules do you know everything there is not know about shoulder covering devices?

I had never given them a thought before this morning. But now am obsessed (I blame trickling capelet)

This ?

Except the kind I'm thinking of hugs round the shoulders iykwim ?

I think trickling capelet is the only way to describe it now !

Ooooooh soooo close Jules. It's even smaller than that. Thanks so much for looking....

I think you got it, Duchess...

Is it a tippet

Duchess!! Yes! Very, very similar to that and yes it hugs the shoulders more......

Brace yourself for the cost ! ( sorry, no idea how to link !)

A pair of matching parrots may actually be cheaper OP.

I just realised what that link actually says it is! I remembered when I was looking for a cover up for my wedding that capelets were the longer ones and the very short ones were called a tippet, I did not wear a vicars robes

There MUST be something cheaper out there !

Two parrots would be very stylish

Well you made me laugh loudly Handbag ! Which is no mean feat today ( 2 sleepovers in a row, knackered !)

Thank you jules !

Thanks Duchess! Will take a look on Etsy.

Dinna, two parrots on each shoulder might actually work. They're colourful, pretty and cover the shoulders. Perfect!

Thanks so much everyone and thanks so much Jules for looking for me and providing links.

This is the shape I was talking about .. But this one is Roberto Cavalli, so not exactly a bargain !!

Sorry about that ^

The capelet paradox:

The less lace involved = the more expensive the capelet

Thanks duchess. That's gorgeous! It's not worth me spending so much on something I'll probably wear once. Now I know what it's called I will do some searching.

Jet, very true and also ridiculous....!
