    I love cloaks & wraps.
    Could you get a local dressmaker to make you one?

    That's a lovely idea. Unfortunately, I'm not currently in a financial position to be doing that. Would love to, though. :)

    I always suffer from cold arms so not having arm cover especially on cold or windy days wouldn't suit me,
    The cloak goes round your neck, not under your armpits!

    The arms are covered up with the cloak - that's the point.

    I have wanted one for years but am highly allergic to wool and trying to find one without wool is pretty impossible.

    You can get velvet ones here - but they are not very MSE

    From the website "... and for winter weddings"
    *mulling* I wonder if it qualifies as a good reason to get married.

    I'm not turned on by extravagant events and jewellery, but a cloak, now that's different! :p
