I hope this is the right place to put this post.😃

I see a lot of statues of the Blessed Virgin that have actual clothing on them. The clothing makes them look more realistic and beautiful. On the Pilgrim Virgin statue, there is a beaded white cape that flows down to the base of the statue. I already made clothing for my Infant Jesus statue out of some fabric, and I wanted to make clothing for my little statue of Our Lady of Fatima. I just wanted to know if there are any people that know what the shape of the clothing on the Pilgrim Virgin statue is when laid out. I want to know the shape of the fabric I need to cut out. I know that the cape for most Infant of Prague statues is a half circle, but what it it for the Virgin statue? Thanks for everyone’s help!

Here is a picture of what the clothing looks like on the Pilgrim Virgin.

Here is what I mean by the half circle.

I think a rectangle or a half circle. But if I were you, I’d go with the rectangle. 😃
 
Clothing statues are good, but there isn’t anything wrong with the already beautifully
carved statues we’ve always had. They are also good enough and have served there purposes as sacramental s both in the church and at home.

The rectangle looks kind of strange, but if it’s a half-circle it should be folded at the back.
 
I tried the half-circle, but I had to fold it at the back to make it took normal. The rectangle didn’t work. It looks like this now.

All glory to God for helping me:). Just in time for May 13th. The date that Our Lady appeared to the 3 children.
 
That looks nice! I’m sorry that the rectangle didn’t work out for you, I just thought that a mantle would probably be shaped in a rectangle. 🙂

Happy feast day of Our Lady of Fatima!

It’s ok, I just wanted to know what others thought before I cut the fabric:D
