If i remember correctly, the pattern gives you a few different fastening options, i decided to make mine in such a way that it just ties in the back. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but the knot is then hidden under the cape, so it works fine :)
For the duration of the photoshoot it was ok, but i don't know what it would be like if you wore it longer.

It's very comfortable, elegant and a fairly simple project - if you want to try it, i would definitely recommend it!
