Klassisk ternet nederdel
Jeg beundrede håndværket hele vejen igennem. Wow, den slags ser man sjældent nu om dage (medmindre man køber skræddersyede jakkesæt).
A classic oldfashioned pleated tartan skirt in blue/white/red. It was homemade with handsewn details, by a really talented seamstrees. The fabric is in pristine condition. I think this could easily be from the 70’es or maybe even easlier.
I admired the handiwork all the time while working on this skirt. Wow, you seldom see this level of craftmansship nowadays (unless you buy tailormade suits).
So, it was a bit too long and slightly too narrow in the waist.
Det er en slåom-nederdel, så det var bare et spørgsmål om at flytte knapper og spænder. Og så kortede jeg den 10 cm af.
(genialt med slåom, i øvrigt, det med slåom når man tænker på gamle dages sparsommelighed. Så behøvede man ikke at skulle ud og købe helt nyt, hvis man blev større, men kunn nøjes med at gøre, som jeg gjorde med at flytte lukningerne).
Since it is a wrap skirt, all I needed to do was to move the button and the buckle. And I shortened it by 10 cm (4″).
(The wrap is a brilliant, and so fitting of the thriftiness of old days. Then you didn’t have to buy a new skirt, if your size went up, but could do as I didn and simply move the closures).
Stylet meget klassisk, selvom jeg nok kommer til at bruge den sammen med mere casual tøj. Men her bibliotekar for en dag.
Classical styling, although I will probably wear it with something more casual. But here I am librarian for a day.
I øvrigt pudsigt at jeg har gjort den 5 cm større i taljen, men jeg alligevel ser MINDRE ud. Fordi den sidder bedre nu.
Funny that I have increased the waist by 5 cm (2″) but I actually look smaller in the waist. That’s what happens when clothes fit porperly.
