Each web has a top edge and at least one side edge. Four arm slots are formed through the inner web to define a pair of sleeves that are generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each web. Preferably two or more opposing elastic finger rings are each fixed with the at least one side edge of the inner web on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis of the inner web and proximate to a longitudinal axis of the sleeves. With each arm of the person positioned through one of the sleeves and a finger of each hand of the person inserted through one of the finger rings, the webs form a winged cape worn by the person. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A winged cape for wearing by a person, comprising: a flexible inner web and a flexible outer web, each web sharing a common outline representing a pair of wings, each web mutually fixed at least along their common outline, each web having a top edge and at least one side edge; at least four parallel arm slots formed through the inner web to define sleeves generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each web, the sleeves mutually coaxially aligned and integrally formed with the inner web; whereby when worn each arm of the person positioned through one of the arm sleeves between the arm sleeve and the outer web, the longitudinal axes of the webs are parallel with and aligned with the person's torso, the webs forming the winged cape when worn by the person, wherein each web is further directly mutually sewn together along at least two additional stitches outside of the sleeves defined between arm slots in the inner web. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The winged cape of claim 1 wherein each web is mutually fixed at least along their common outline with a sewn stitch. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The winged cape of claim 1 wherein each sleeve is proximate to and generally parallel with the top edge of the webs. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The winged cape of claim 1 further including two opposing elastic finger rings, each fixed with the at least one side edge of the inner web on opposing sides of the longitudinal axes of the webs and proximate to a longitudinal axis of the sleeves, whereby when worn by the person, a finger of each hand of the person may be inserted through one of the finger rings to retain the side edges of the webs with the person's fingers. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The winged cape of claim 3 further including two opposing elastic finger rings, each fixed with the at least one side edge of the inner web on opposing sides of the longitudinal axes of the webs and proximate to a longitudinal axis of the sleeves, whereby when worn by the person, a finger of each hand of the person may be inserted through one of the finger ring to retain the side edges of the webs with the person's fingers. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The winged cape of claim 1 wherein each arm slot is hemmed with a buttonhole stitch therearound. ### Claim 7 A winged cape for wearing by a person, comprising: a flexible inner web and a flexible outer web, each web sharing a common outline representing a pair of wings, each web mutually fixed at least along their common outline with a sewn stitch, each web having a top edge and at least one side edge; at least four parallel arm slots formed through the inner web to define sleeves generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each web, the sleeves mutually coaxially aligned and integrally formed with the inner web, each sleeve being proximate to and generally parallel with the top edge of the webs; whereby when worn each arm of the person positioned between one of the arm sleeves and the outer web, the longitudinal axes of the webs are parallel with and aligned with the person's torso, the webs forming a winged cape when worn by the person, wherein each web is further directly mutually sewn together along at least two additional stitches outside of the sleeves defined between arm slots in the inner web. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The winged cape of claim 7 further including two opposing elastic finger rings, each fixed with the at least one side edge of the inner web on opposing sides of the longitudinal axes of the webs and proximate to a longitudinal axis of the sleeves, whereby when worn by the person, a finger of each hand of the person may be inserted through one of the finger ring to retain the side edges of the webs with the person's fingers. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The winged cape of claim 7 wherein each arm slot is hemmed with a buttonhole stitch therearound. ### Claim 10 A winged cape for wearing by a person, comprising: a flexible inner web and a flexible outer web, each web sharing a common outline representing a pair of wings, each web mutually fixed at least along their common outline, each web having a top edge and at least one side edge; two opposing elastic finger rings each fixed with the at least one side edge of the inner web on opposing sides of the longitudinal axes of the webs; at least four parallel arm slots formed through the inner web to define sleeves generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each web, the sleeves mutually coaxially aligned and integrally formed with the inner web; whereby when worn by the person, a finger of each hand of the person may be inserted through one of the finger ring to retain the side edges of the webs with the person's fingers, the webs forming a winged cape when worn by the person, wherein each web is further directly mutually sewn together along at least two additional stitches outside of the sleeves defined between arm slots in the inner web. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The winged cape of claim 10 wherein each web is mutually fixed at least along their common outline with a sewn stitch. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The winged cape of claim 10 wherein each sleeve is proximate to and generally parallel with the top edge of the webs. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The winged cape of claim 10 wherein, when worn each arm of the person positioned between one of the arm sleeves and the outer web, the longitudinal axes of the webs are parallel with and aligned with the person's torso, the webs forming a winged cape when worn by the person.
