Cape dresses (or modesty dresses) are designed to conceal the figure better than the modern dresses available today.  They are

considered to be some of the most modest dresses available.  They do a great job of hiding both front and back of the upper body and hide body

lines  yet still keep a very feminine look.  They help to protect from unwanted attention and are comfortable to wear.

This is an authentic handmade cape/modesty dress handmade in Western Pennsylvania.

These Authentic Mennonite or Amish dresses are all handmade and because of that, there are no

Size tags, Care directions or fabric type labels. Because of this we attempt our best guess as to the fabric content.

Every dress is unique.

Please note that the measurements listed are approximate and may not be exactly as how you would determine things like "center of shoulder seam".


Note, these dresses are used and as such may have some minor pilling, stitching flaws (they are handmade after all!) or minor
stains usually around the hemline due to prior use.  Dresses have been washed prior to sale. 

Colors may not be exactly as seen on your computer due to different monitor manufacturers and color settings. 
I have adjusted the photograph color and brightness settings so they are displayed as closely as possible on my
computer screen.  Again, this may not match your computer screen exactly.
