The Fauxlero Post to End All Fauxlero Posts

Not that I want fauxleros to end ... but here's a smattering of those that have been sent to me lately:

Dulcet sent this one from 1896.

Our beloved Cookie sent three. This one is highly abstract -- you have to have a highly-attuned fauxlero-sense to spot it:




This one is a mod, mod take on the concept:




And I really want to know why someone wrote "Magic Lady" on this one:




Pamela was listing this one on eBay ("designed" by Gloria Swanson!), but the auction may have ended by now:




Summerset found this one, although I'm not sure if it's a fauxlero or a cape in its larval form:



Ashley found this one from Alexander McQueen, although it will set you back more than £900 (!).

The sharp-eyed Helen saw this one on Etsy. The pattern calls it an "attached capelet," but she said she wasn't fooled: it's a fauxlero.

Gremly Girl sent me this image -- the woman in the center now has a starring role in my nightmares -- but yes, that's a fauxlero:



This fauxlero (sent by lorrwill) WINS with POCKETS:



Elle sends this fantastic vintage Burda ... a wraplero!

And, as a reminder, the fabulous Jenny started at category page on the Vintage Pattern Wiki for fauxleros here. Add yours!
