Has anybody got any suggestions on an 18th century accessory that would use only one metre of velvet (something to keep warm would be good as July is the middle of winter for those of us in the southern hemisphere)

A shawl would depend on which part of the 18th century. The end of the century (90s) saw them creeping in, but not most of the century.

     What about a muff?
