It has some pictures and instructions on making a children's furry cape costume.
It provides some pictures of the finished product too:

So you should be able to track these down by going to a store, contacting the company or finding them on eBay or Amazon.

They don't appear to be for children. However, a cape wouldn't be that complicated to downsize for a child.

Well many thanks to all of you. Even the less than helpful and slightly rude Shen Li. I'm actually quite good with a sewing machine. And now I can sew a cute little cape for my friends little one.Quote from: "Mandy"
She gets snotty at times Mandy. Don't sweat it.
You have talent kid. Best of luck on the project.

If so, which ones? And of those, which were the best links?

Well a couple of the links were a little helpful. There's a pattern on one that I could modify to turn it from the complete wrap around cape to the over the shoulders type without too much difficulty. But it turns out my friend doesn't know who Elsa is and the cape has changed to elsa's coronation day cape and dress. So there's a lot of info for those everywhere.Quote from: "Mandy"
Thanks for your feedback.
Yeah I just wanted to see if my Internet Research skills were worth a grain of salt. Truth is, I know nothing about sewing or patterns, etc. Sifting through the searches was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Still, its noteworthy that there is so much information on costume making for Disney costumes alone. I'm surprised so much of it can be had for free. It must be getting harder for these sewing houses to make a profit when the consumer can just snag them off the Internet. Before it came along, people had to go down to a pattersn or sewing store to order or buy them. So, it must be lost revenue for them when it can be obtained for nothing these days.

I don't think sewing places are suffering at all for free patterns. I would still buy a pattern any day over printing one online. The cape I happened to be initially looking for just wasn't available in any of the pattern books at the store. Lots of Elsa ones though so that's now what I'm going to do. I'm sure glad I clarified which princess it was that little one loves so much.Quote from: "Mandy"
A very pretty cape Mandy..
I hope it works out for you..
I miss making costumes for my daughter..
She's fifteen now and has informed me she's too old for kid stuff.

...so seems you changed your idea a bit? I think Elsa's a different character and costume than the original one you referred to - Aurora, Sleeping Beauty.
Here's Elsa - the character from Frozen:
She wears a light cape compared to the other character.

.....I don't, Herm. It was just an exercise in Internet research, Bud!
Actually, I've used the same methodology to locate parts for an old car.
Specifically I had been looking for a throttle & a power steering repair kit for my car. Here's one web site which contains literally millions of car parts:
Just about every model make and year listed there.
I'm sure they equivalent sites for those in the oil industry or farming.
Ie - what if you were looking for a replacement part for your 20 year old farm crane? Or a drill bit for your rig? Etc. Anyways, I had ta really dig hard for them car parts. Sometimes its hard to find a throttle for an old car. The best
matches I found on car-part.com were either in New Jersey, Kansas or Louisiana. Couldn't find the part locally.

But sometimes ya really gotta dig and dig hard. I really had to for those car parts. And then when you phone the supplier, they often don't have it. Either its sold out, the website inventory is outdated, etc.
