{My Burda Pattern Leather Waist Coat}

On May 25 of last year I did show you My Burda Pattern Silk Skirt - Bow Tie & Scarf Creation. With that outfit I was wearing my Burda  Pattern Leather Waist Coat over an Escada cotton blouse. Scanning my old slides I came across the photo that husband Pieter took from the Burda magazine. So I like to share the waist coat here with you.
Here I am in March of 1998, wearing proudly my Burda Pattern Leather Waist Coat.
It got made for me in India, by Pond's India Ltd. They also are into the leather garment industry, sewing for Emporio Armani and such. Their factory is in Chennai, formerly Madras, India.
You see me here with friend Marianne, from Atlanta. We had done a 40 minute program together about The Netherlands, for the Elementary School's 5th graders that morning. Marianne was spending several days visiting us.
I also do wear the hand rolled silk scarf that I made for this outfit.
Did you notice how LITTLE our 'Quercus Virginiana Grandview Gold' live oak here still is? 
Just visible to the right of me...
And you also get to see my silk hair bow and barrette...
That's the photo from the Burda magazine after which I  got the idea for selecting the silk Gucci fabric for the skirt and for having the leather waist coat made. Do you like it?
They did sew in their boutique label from Emporio Armani... Never mind; I was as happy as could be and they did sew it for me and even ship it as a gift. 
It means a lot to me and I will keep it for as long as I'm sane!

  8. bonjour Mariette
    j' ai longtemps fait mes habits moi-même aussi
    et justement avec des patrons Burda
    bien que j'ai été infirmière , j'avais comme ma mère un diplôme de couturière
    maintenant je fais plus de broderies et des habits de poupées
    pour mes nièces
    je n' ai jamais travaillé le cuir , il faut une machine très forte
    par-contre je me suis fait 2 veste en daim , que je ne mets plus depuis longtemps
    mes mains sont beaucoup moins souples
    car j' ai une sclérose en plaque
    je suis contente de vous avoir "rencontrée"
    à très bientôt
    bon weekend
    tendresse
    edith
    je ne sais pas si vous avez vu
    mais j' ai un autre blog

  9. Dearest Mariette,
    Your leather waistcoat and silk skirt are REALLY GORGEOUS and both you and your friend look SO lovely♡♡♡
    Well, I was also amazed to read the program about The Netherlands for Elementary School's. I thought it was wonderful for American children had a chance to enhance their knowledge about other country. As you may know, the Netherlands is the only country Japan had diplomatic relations, even while we had seclusion policy during the Edo-period.

    Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

  13. Ma allora sai fare proprio di tutto! Anche io amo cucire anche se è da un pò che non mi confeziono nulla. Sono ingrassata troppo, non ho una bella silhouette come te! Anche io ho usato spesso la rivista Burda e le coservo ancora. Non ho mai cucito la pelle, non ho la macchina adatta. Sei davvero Brava Mariette, sei una donna dalle molteplici virtù! Paola

  15. Liebe Mariette,
    das ist ein wunderschönes Outfit. Man sollte wirklich schöne Dinge verwahren. Viele sind so zeitlos, dass man sie jahrelang anziehen kann.
    Einen schönen Abend wünscht
    Irmi

  19. I love your gorgeous waist coat and silk skirt! And the hair bow is so pretty. You look fantastic!
    I'm so happy Spooky is back home :-) When I had kitties back in Japan, they could go outside as they liked. One stormy night, one of them disappeared. I was worried and worried...and finally found her in a closet! Obviously she knew where was safer :-)
