The instant I saw Emma Stone drop a light onto a cape on Cruella, I immediately thought "a cosplayer is going to do themselves a mischief trying this...". So far, thankfully no one has. Possibly because it's terrible material for sewing, possibly because it would be extremely dangerous. Someone has tried Katniss Everdeen's flaming dress, and they got about as far as you can get without causing serious harm and it still wasn't quite as fiery!
Nitrocellulose might be covered in some Chemistry lessons -- most school science should cover the difference between cellulose and starch, both being polymers of glucose but with different orientations of molecules. If you nitrate this, it becomes significantly more flammable because of the addition of NO2 groups, and doesn't require as much oxygen from the site (I won't say 'zero' because it depends on how much it has been nitrated). It may burn faster, and be used in stage performances, but it still releases as much heat as burning that much paper or cotton!
Anyway, don't wrap yourself up in this stuff and set yourself on fire. It's a really bad idea.
