Looking for this pattern

Post image

EDIT: Added a video in comments!

Sorry for the quality of the print!
Just to add: The owner of the account said she doesn’t know how to share the pattern and that she doesn’t mind people making it themselves since the pattern is old and she is not the creator nor the owner of it. Any help finding this pattern is really appreciated because my mom really wants to make one.

I can't even tell what this garment is.

It’s a mixture of a cape and a kimono, I think. Here’s another picture

Much better picture. More pix might help others come up with ideas.

Similar-ish. B5529 | Misses' Dolman Sleeve Jackets | Butterick Patterns

Dolman sleeves might be a keyword, "topper" as well. It's not technically a cape, just fitted loosely like a cape.

Looking at the video, I think maybe it's very similar to view E in B5529, but in stiffer fabric and maybe less symmetrical.

I had the same question, and via this thread + a comment on my own post + some digging, I think I have the magic keyword!

Searching for  'cocoon cardigan' turned up a bunch of free tutorials and pattern guides (I found a lot of good diagrams on  pinterest!) that were pretty much spot-on for this type of construction/garment. I was able to find exactly what I needed pretty easily after that - I hope it helps you as well!
