The main part of the cape is two yards in length and is inset with three triangular panels of pale pink brocade. It features
a hand-beaded trim of mainly gold seed and gold bugle beads. There are four large leaf designs, interspersed with smaller
leaf chains to create fluidity. The smaller leaf designs also tie the cape in with other aspects of the costume. The remainder
of the cape consists of three sheer layers, the longest being about three and a half yards.
