'Couture Classics by Margaretha' is an old fashion label renewed by Marga.
At the moment Couture Classics is designing dresses for photographer: Erik Bolding.

As soon as Erik Bolding continues his model-photoshoots, the models will be able to wear these dresses and to be 'fairytale' beautiful. The photoshoots are a complete concept: a Make-up artist is included, a styliste and the use of the exclusive dresses and skirts of 'Couture Classics by Margaretha'.

The dresses, skirts and bolero's are all made of real silk, cotton blends, velour de panne and exclusive lace-fabrics. They are also made for fitting various sizes:  size S -  L

A few dresses in production:

It is not (yet?) the time to go to Paris. It is not time to travel at all. All cities are closed and Social Isolation is an emergency to get the Corona virus under control.

But we have a different idea for you.

To feel a bit of spring in Paris, we recommend a few nice books.

Enjoy the beautiful photos, the terraces, the beautiful boutiques and especially all the tips and tricks to be stylish as a Parisian!

Everything will pass, and sooner or later we will enjoy Paris even more than ever.

Paris je t'aime ...

Burda 6248 review

A Chanel-look long summer coat

Picture
Burda offers us a sewingpattern that's a great summer jacket/coat. as it is made of the Bouclé fabric, it has the typical 'Chanel look'.
The jacket is sewn according to the pattern in a summer Bouclé fabric that is ideal to wear in the summer as an inner and outer jacket.

The long coat is long enough to wear over a summer dress or skirt.

We have used the pattern for a green Bouclé fabric and have noticed all the positive points of this sewingpattern for you.

We have also mentioned the slightly fewer points and written down suggestions to possibly change or adjust the pattern.

The pattern is available: Sewingpatternshop.nl

How to sew a mouth cap?

How do you make a mouth cap yourself?

Mouth caps are now hard to buy but we need them to protect us against the Corona virus.
So, maybe an idea to create them ourselves. We found the best videos for you.

. Making a mouth cap without a sewing machine:

How to sew a mouth cap:

Buy a real Chanel mouthcap? That will be difficult. Better to make one yourself. A real 'Chanel-Style' mouthpiece, indeed.
We are already working on it and will come back to it soon.
Take care of yourself!

International Women's day!

7/3/2020

"International Women's Day contributes to making the importance of International Women's Day visible. Equality between men and women and therefore a basis for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Women must be given equal opportunities to participate in politics, economics and public life. Violence against girls and women such as human trafficking and sexual exploitation must be stopped. "

This is the objective of the International Women's Day, which we at SewingChanel Style fully support.

We therefore wish every seamstress, designers, fashionata, Chanel-lovers, bloggers, shopowners or co-stasr, artists, workshopowners and all those other thousands of women we have not mentioned, a nice day!

Chanel-Style in the snow

4/3/2020

Chanel-Style, Pink and the snow....

But to be honest, we have not had any winter in the Netherlands in recent months. No snow, just rain, lots of rain and too hot temperatures. Not good.... , but we won't talk about that on this website.

Let's focus on the jacket:
The pink Chanel-style jacket is made of lovely woolly Bouclé fabric with a silk lining. If you make a Chanel jacket a bit more spacious, it is also often very suitable to wear outside.
Even in the snow;>)

But where to find a little black dress that really fits?
