Description
I tried to draw a pattern for my cloak - I usually sew without any patterns. I used 1,5 m x 3,6 m textile. If you have any questions just ask in the comments.-- update --
After soo many favs and comments and views, mevanna.deviantart.com/ finally sent me her version - check it out, its awesome (better than mine)! Come on everyone, send me your photos, I am very happy that I inspire such beauties.

*After looking at it for a while trying to figure out how to make the hood detachable*
...Wait, is the hood like a mantle-type thing, where it's a whole separate layer? That would make a lot more sense than what I was thinking. If so, that is ingenious and completely solves my "hood or no hood" problems I have with coats...
This is absolutely gorgeous, and it looks fantastic made in wool! I really must make one, but I have no wool laying around... Perhaps a synthetic will work...

Thanks! Yep, the hood is a totally separate piece, sometimes when its not that cold and not snowing, I even leave it home. I did not take a picture with only the hood because it would look silly 
Maybe look at the cloak where I get the idea from, it shows better there:

The 'official' one is much nicer, but I did not have 800$ for a coat, and the wool material for this was about 60$. I spent about two days doing it, but it was more than worth it.

Ooh, that *is* super-pretty! Although I think yours looks a little more practical/easier to move in. But ah ha ha yeah, $800 is kind of expensive. Though after making stuff to sell, and also doing as much of the fabric making/dyeing process as I can, I can see why really nice things are expensive!
Dang, I really need some wool. The wool at my local Jo-Ann store sucks >.< I'll be ordering some nice wool online when I can. In the meantime, I may make this out of a different fabric, both as a mock-up and as a lighter jacket whilst I wait for my things to sell so I can have a wool one

I really think that coat is worth that money, its just that I dont have that much 
I guess I am lucky here in Hungary: there is a great textile store, right across the street where I live, and they sell this wool material for 3.000 HUF (about 15$) per meter. I already bought some black ones for another coat, but that will be a proper winter coat not fantasy stlye

Oh, that coat is totally worth it! But dang that's a lot of money, and I'd be so afraid of getting it dirty!
And OHMYGOODNESS that dress is amazing. I really, really love that!
Haha yes, I do hear that over in your corner of the world wool fabric is much easier to come by 
Ooh, I can't wait to see your new coat
I think I'm going to start work on a winter cloak soon, I hardly wear coats but I love shawls, blankets, and my BF's cloak (but it is way, WAY too big for me, LOL).

i have a question. the top arm part and the bottom arm part do you cut them out like it is in the pic or do you cut them separate????
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, its separated, but laying it out on the fabric like this helps you spare with the textile.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW!!!
Seriously. I've been trying to find some kind of pattern for something like this for a while. And I have an event this weekend! Though, hopefully, the snow will melt....

This looks downright cuddlable!
I might give this a try for a friend of mine who's always cold and make a male variant while at it! (With proper credits 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its really not that hard to do! But I have no idea how you will turn it into male, if you can do that please show me!

A little less emphasis on the waist, just straighten it out a bit, and make some edges a little 'harder', and use some darker fabrics.
Voila, elven nobleman, which turns a bit more androgynous! ^^

Once I get to make it, I'll post you some ^^
Thanks for the pattern! <3

When you sew without a pattern, do you generally make a muslin practice version first? I am curious what your process is, since the final piece is fitted beautifully.

I use tracing paper - I hand-draw the pieces on a roll of tracing paper (being an architect, I always have lots of those at home, but it is reallly cheap compared to any textile). If I make it for someone else, I usually ask for their T-shirt or sweather to get the size of the shoulder, arms, etc. For myself its easy, I already know how big pieces I need. Then I use needles to put together a paper-prototype. Its hard to wear (the paper doesnt fold very well), but really easy to re-adjust with a scissor, and moving around the needles as necessary. Then I put the tracing paper pieces on the textile. After that I usually just throw away the paper pattern, because they are never perfect (i dont bother with length, or nice cut edges or anything).
