Black Mikado Shirt Cape with Wool Fringe Hem

The Black Mikado Shirt Cape with Wool Fringe Hem is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

Part garment, part presence. This shirt cape is designed for arrivals: a polished mikado shape that frames the shoulders and then dissolves into a curtain of wool fringe that moves like a shadow. Worn over a slip dress or a column gown, it turns any evening look into a statement.

The cape opens with a wide, flat collar that frames the face, then falls in a broad, polished mikado shape over the arms. From mid-thigh down, the hem dissolves into long, heavy strands of black wool fringe that reach the floor and move like a curtain when she walks. A front opening reveals the leg with each stride.

Fabric

The piece is cut in mikado, a dense, crisp fabric with a subtle sheen that holds structured shapes beautifully. The fringe is made from wool.

Care

Dry clean only. Mikado can water-mark and lose its crisp structure in water, so a specialist dry cleaner is the safest choice. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Press mikado on the reverse with a dry iron on a low setting and a pressing cloth. Avoid steam directly on the face. Separate the wool fringe gently with your fingers after wear. Store with cedar to protect it from moths. Store on a padded hanger in a breathable cotton garment bag, away from direct sunlight.

Size and fit

Available in US sizes 2 to 24. Please see the size chart on this page for body measurements before ordering.
