White cape blazer
The white cape blazer adds the pezzaz.

The cape blazer was bought from Mango in Madeira. Mango has branches in many other countries, includiing Singapore. 

The size is European size XL. That is Large in the USA. 

The jacket is lined. It has two pockets with a neat top edging strip. 

I sewed on white plastic clips in the middle centre.

I am barefoot because we have all taken off our shoes indoors. No chance of high heels making you look taller. Nobody tells you to take off your shoes. You just see that the host is without shoes. A huge area of shoes is by the door. It is obvious that you are expected to remove your shoes. 

Why remove shoes? For cleanliness. The lion dancers will be lying on the floor. 

Now in February 2023 I cannot see cape blazers in Mango. Shein and many other online companies have cape blazers or jackets, as well as dresses and full length coats, at attractive prices. But lower prices may mean not necessarily such with linings or pockets or fabrics which hang neatly and don't crease.
