50s vintage black wool nurse’s cape with small collar, hook / eye at the neck and three button fastenings, bright red lining with black cross over straps that fasten with a button. The lining has been patched in places and there is a frayed section that could be further patched using fabric from the internal pocket. The cape, from Kings Cross Hospital in Dundee, has been in long term storage and would benefit from a dry clean to freshen. Ideal for re-enactment, Goodwood Revival or everyday wear.

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.

The following charts give approximate comparative UK/US/European sizes for women’s clothing and shoes.
