Thank you so much for that insight! I have been trying to figure out how to make
it hang better. I'll have to play around with it and try adding darts. I have a
cloak in the works right now, and was stuck at trying to figure out the neck
issue.

make it normally, it's smaller. The front opening including the neckline is more
or less shaped like a U. ADDITIONALLY, darts are added at the shoulder to get
the front opening shiftet more to the back. It's difficult to explain, because
the darts were draped at a dress form.

your cloak/cape is a half circle? It says "semi circle", so I wondered if it was
half or less for the pattern? If it's less than a half circle, can you tell me
how to make the shape correctly? I make my capes half circle, and they are
always falling to the front and getting in my way.
