8. Original RAF nurses cape as seen in Atonement £30








Identical design to that worn by Briony in Atonement, this is a genuine British Red Cross Nurses' cape that I originally bought at a 1940s weekend. There is one nick on the inside about 3mm across, and one or two on the red straps, otherwise this cape is in great condition. I presume it is made of wool and is incredibly warm, although I have only worn this once. It would be great for fancy dress and for actual wear.
Measurements: collar 15" when laid flat/ length 27.5"/ width 49" (flat, so double for actual length)
Let me know if you want any photos of the nicks on the inner side, or need any more information.
