Best way to attach Batgirl cape?

[therapywrks]

What is the best way to attach cape? It's quite heavy. Is there a clasp or heavy duty magnet I can use? Someone recommended to thread thru latex armor, but I'm afraid it will rip throughout wear.

For my superman cape, (which was way too heavy but looked sweet) I made straps to go over the shoulders and then a small buckle in the back, then just wore the suit over the straps. You could try a rig like that to go under the armor. I got the idea from behind the scenes stills of the Chris reeves movies. I'm sure there are other ways out there though. Best of luck

you can get magnet clasps from most fabric stores, which worked well for my girlfriends cape. Otherwise, if the armor is 'tacticool' looking, you could use buckles to attach the cape to the main body. another option is to use extremely strong velcro. or the webbing method that justy used
