Knight of Round Cape Help?

[ohariko.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for some helpful advice on making a pattern for the Knight of Round cape. I know I'm taking a big risk by asking this here in the main community, but I do not want to screw up my fabric. Normally, I don't care too much, but the material I'm using for Nomette's cape was really expensive. Also, what did you guys use for the material of your cape? I'm rather curious. Thanks in advance for your help~!

I just don't like the fact that people do use cotton for the cape. It's suppose to be majestic and rich looking, since it is a Britannia costume. But thanks for the ideas thus far.

Me too, but it does work. Though I'd consider something heavier like wool, or velvet. Like I said, I don't understand why so many people make unshiny things shiny. The only thing I can think of is either all gold colored material is shiny, or it just a matter of aesthetics winning over accuracy.

What materials are you using?

I'm definitely going to think about it with my Zero and imperial costumes.
