My capes are designed to cover the torso but not extend beyond mid thigh to strike a balance between style and comfort. Purchasing a cape in a larger age range may lead to added weight, potentially causing discomfort around the neck area. It's essential to ensure that the cape not only looks fantastic but is also safe and comfortable for the little ones wearing it. It is important that the child is sturdy on their feet and capes aren't too long to avoid them being a tripping hazard. I am happy to help you get the right fit. You can email me at holly@creativecapes.com if you are unsure how to determine the appropriate size. I can make XL for adults upon request.
