Well, on January 9, I did drop off one of my Escada bodies with snaps for having it altered into a top and then dry cleaned.
When we went back on January 16, for making my usual rounds and heading to the Infinity dealer for having our passenger seat front tire repaired—we stopped by to pick it up.
While I punched the address into the GPS for Nalley Infiniti of Atlanta, Pieter went inside to pick up and pay for my altered body.
When I saw Pieter come back with a long trailing thing inside the plastic cover... I was puzzled and asked him to show me.
Sure enough I right away saw those SNAPS!
Argghhh—so I jumped out of the car and took it over from Pieter and went inside.
This is the FINAL correct result...
ALTER — CUT OFF THE
SNAP AND MAKE A SEAM
cut of the snap
and make a seem
The bold wording makes one cringe at nowadays spelling...
Not the language we got taught!
Yep, I had to go inside and let them know that they did not cut off the snaps and make a seam...
So I had to leave it there one more time and come back a 3rd time!
A very nice Escada body in 90% rayon and 10% elasthane.
Lace insert is polyester with elasthane...
But I did not like those snaps...
Do you like wearing anything like that?
Do you wear any bodies with snaps?
Wore it today when singing... with my Wolford pantyhose.
With my Escada green and black velvet jacket and black skirt.
I'm holding my top where it has been newly seamed.
Just perfect!
Hanno fatto un bel lavoro.Buona giornata.
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteOh, quella signora sudcoreana è una sarta di alta moda! Molto soddisfatto del suo lavoro.
Abbracci,

It is so annoying when instructions are not followed.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYes, and especially if you have to drive good two hours one–way for reaching them...
But in the end it got done perfect!

Mariette
De kleur staat je goed .En het staat je mooi op maat gemaakt.
ReplyDeleteBeste Ellie,
DeleteJa, na bijna 26 jaar is het nog altijd een lievelingsjasje en ook de wollen rok met rek zit altijd heerlijk. Maatje 34 past nog altijd perfect en het topje is nu praktisch, zo over rokje of broek.
Liefs,
Mariette
Mariette,
ReplyDeleteleuk hoor die kleur groen, staat je mooi.
Liefs,
Hilly
Beste Hilly,
DeleteDank je en ik houd wel van die frisgroene kleur.
Liefs,
Mariette
That jacket looks nice on you, Mariette. I love the green color. Sorry you had to come back to get what you asked for in the first place. No, I don't usually wear pieces with buttons or clasps or zippers. I like clothes that feel freeing to wear. But this certainly looks great on you, and it's such a classy look.

Dearest Sheri,
DeleteThank you and usually a black silk blouse with a fold over kind of tie, I have worn with this. But being the lay reader during the final Sunday of ordinary time—green was the color and I wanted to try my altered top!
Hugs,
Mariette
Luces muy bien las prendas y vas muy elegante con ellas.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias y esta comibination funcionó para el día.

Mariette
You looks so attractive the green suits you
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThank you and I try my very best to look happy—regardless of health issues.
Love the green very much.

Mariette
You look so pretty in green - brings out the color of your eyes, beautifully.
ReplyDeleteDearest Debby,
DeleteThank you and now you mention my eyes, they are by far not as blue as they used to be...

Due to the severe stage of CKD the white is not as white and I have those bags under my eyes—one of the first signs. But I'm alive!
A Swedish lady at our local department store once advised me to use a Lancôme eye pencil in green for the bottom part and above the eye lashes a blue—to bring out the blue of my eyes better. But I've had problems with my pencils getting dry as it takes twice as long to finish them and I'm not using it every day... So I just purchased a green one at N.M. Chanel cosmetics department last Tuesday.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh how cute and tiny you are. Love that outfit.
ReplyDeleteDearest Pam,
DeleteWell, since age 15 I've never 'sized' up...😏
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful.

Green is my favourite colour and you look so elegant in the jacket.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, dearest Mariette.
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteHappy to read that it is your favorite color!
Thank you for your compliment—need that now as I have my right knee cap fractured and left proximal fibula and abrasions, hematomas. Yesterday I rode with Pieter just a short ride shopping at Walmart and then home...
Hugs,
Mariette
In my opinion, it turned out quite beautiful and elegant.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteYes, it did and I'm very fond of it already.
Precious photo of my legs—two days before the accident...
