FAQs
What is the length of the cape?
The cape measures 114 cm or 45 inches in length.
What material is this cape made of?
The cape is constructed from durable, lightweight polyester.
Can I machine wash this item?
Hand washing is recommended to ensure the stand-up collar maintains its shape and structure.
Is this cape suitable for adults?
This specific model is sized for children and may be too short or small for most adults.
Does it come with any other accessories?
No, this product is the cape only. Accessories like teeth or makeup must be purchased separately.
Is the collar stiff?
The collar is designed to stand up, providing the dramatic look associated with classic vampire costumes.
Troubleshooting
The collar keeps flopping down.
Use a small amount of fabric stiffener or attach a piece of light interfacing to the inside of the collar to help it stand upright.
The cape is too long and drags on the floor.
Use fabric tape or safety pins to adjust the hem length temporarily to prevent tripping.
Wrinkles are visible after storage.
Hang the cape in the bathroom while taking a hot shower; the steam will naturally relax the polyester fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To wear the cape, simply drape it over the shoulders and secure the attachment point at the neck. If the length is too long for the user, use a temporary safety pin or a simple temporary hem stitch to shorten the cape, ensuring the child does not trip while walking. For maintenance, it is recommended to hand wash the item in cold water to preserve the shape of the collar. Avoid using high-heat irons, as polyester can melt; instead, use a steamer on a low setting or hang the cape in a steamy bathroom to release wrinkles.
