CAPES AND HOODS 541
CAPESA cape is a sleeveless garment that hangs over the shoulders (sometimes with slip-throughs for arms). It canbe worn separately over coats, jackets, dresses, or sportswear, or it can be attached to a dress or cloak. Two ba-sic capes are developed from the torso foundationA-line and circular capes. They can be used to generate
many variations of current fashion trends.
A-Line Cape FoundationDesign Analysis
Cape has A-line silhouette with slits for arm entry.Three buttons secure the front. Design 1 illustrateshow this foundation can be used.

CAPES AND HOODS 545
HOODSHoods cover the head and sometimes part of the face. They can be worn separately or as part of a garment.Like all garments, hoods come in a variety of styles and shapes.
Two hood foundations are illustratedthe contour hood and loose-fitting hood. Other variations can be
developed from the two foundations. Hoods that are illustrated are attached to the garments. The front andback neckline of the patterns are needed for the draft.
How to Measure for the Hood DraftFigure 1 Overhead Measurement
Place a measuring tape at the center front neck(between clavicles) and hold end of the tapewhile measuring up and over the head.
Record one-third of this measurement and add3/4 inch: __________.
Figure 2 Horizontal Measurement
Place tape at the hairline at eye level and measureto other side. Record one-half of measurement:__________.
Contoured Hood FoundationDesign Analysis
The contoured hood fits the shape of the head, withcontrol darts at the crown and neck area. The hoodis attached to the neckline of the garment, startingat the center front.

Contoured Hood DesignDesign Analysis
The contoured hood encircles the face, buttoningfrom the chin down to the center front of the neckand garment. The hood gathers along the neckline,
and the styleline ends at the side of the face. If gath-ers are not desired, do not add to the center back anduse the dart of the foundation pattern. Design 2 isincluded for practice.
Figure 1 Trace the contour hood foundation, including
FG line and KL line. (See the hood draft, pages545 and 546).
Draw a styleline from dart point of the crowndart, ending 4 inches below the G line.
Square down from point F (for fullness) andblend the neckline across dart (dart excess ispart of the gathers). For the dartless hood, seepage 547, Figure 5.

Loose Hood FoundationLoose hoods are most often used with coats and capes. The hood may be pointed or squared in back, with thefront hood folded over.
Design Analysis
The foundation is drafted with a fold-back and fitsto the height of the crown of the head, with either apoint or a square across the back (eliminating thepoint). Instructions are given for both Design 1 andDesign 2 (exaggerated fullness).
Pattern Plot and Manipulation
For greater looseness, add 2 inches or more to theAB measurement. See Design 2.
Figure 1AB Overhead measurement (example: 10 inches).
BC 2 1/2 inches.
CD AB, squared from C.
Square down from D, as shown.
Place center back on AC line, with corner of the
neck touching A. Draw neck to the corner of the shoulder. Label E.
Shift the pattern 3/4 inch, keeping the centerback parallel to the AC line.
Draw the shoulder, starting at corner of the neck(F), to the dart leg.
Remove the pattern and extend shoulderline(guideline). (The broken line indicates the un-traced pattern.)
