opera cape
Formal evening cloak
An opera cape is a formal outer garment worn over evening dress, typically reaching to the waist or mid-thigh and fastening at the neck.
Unlike coats, it has no sleeves—the wearer's arms remain covered but free beneath the fabric.
Once standard attire for theatergoers, opera capes now appear mainly at formal events or in period costume: He swept into the gala in a black opera cape lined with red silk.
