Red Bouclé Outfit

by Pauline Alice
Hello everyone,
I have taken some pictures this week-end of the red bouclé outfit I told you about last month (remember, I showed you the jacket).

I am not usually one to follow the fashion trends as I normally have a retro/vintage style (quite the opposite of most of the modern trends, even if sometimes some designers got inspired by the past ( I could write an entire post about my favourite designers, well I guess I will)). But the recent trend of coordinated outfit was very nice and I really like the idea. This was the board I made, remember:

I wanted a short and fitted jacket with 3/4 sleeves, in a very simple shape (no collar, no pocket) to make the beaded trim and the bright colour the most important features. I chose a pattern from Burda, jacket 109 from issue 03/2012, a pattern I already made for my mother as a Christmas present. I changed it quite a bit in order to get it more fitted: took the seams in, increase the curve of the princess seams, fitted the sleeves…
The same happened for the skirt: a clean shape to let the fabric and the trim shine. The pattern is the same one I made for my bow skirt, minus the pockets (and the bow of course!).

I hope your having a nice summer (here in Valencia it’s great, I was frying in the sun with the jacket while taking the pictures…) and I wish you a nice week!

You look great, Madamoiselle Coco ^.^

Thanks so much! You're right, there's a Chanel feeling in this jacket and skirt suit… If only that would redict a similar career…

Just love that colour, with the trim feature – great outfit indeed!

Pauline Guillet 22 July, 2013 - 12:37 pm

Thank you Judith! I love the fabric colour (but I fear it's making my skin look even whiter: look at my legs, it's like a ghost!)

¡Gracias Maider!

Que bonito!! me encanta el conjunto y la tela que has escojido!! yo tambien quería hacerme una chaqueta de ese tipo y no encontraba patrón. Esa revista no la tengo, espero que pronto pongan en alguna revista algo parecido!!

Pauline Guillet 23 July, 2013 - 6:56 pm

¡Gracias! Tienes suerte, Burda publica patrones de chaqueta tipo Chanel cada 2 o 3 mese más o menos (en los últimos números: 123 06/2013, 102 03/2013 con cuello, 106 & 107 02/2013). Y eso en los últimos 6 meses sólo… Si no tienes las revistas, están todos a descargar en la web de Burdastyle.

Me lo ha hecho mamá 24 July, 2013 - 11:12 am

Precioso, pero ha sido verlo y sudar como un pollo, impensable en el verano sevillano jajaja.

Pauline Guillet 24 July, 2013 - 11:36 am

¡Jaja! No me lo pasé tan mal, tomamos las fotos al final de la tarde y a la sombra… ¡Hay que sufrir como lo dice el refrán francés!

Valerie 24 July, 2013 - 9:27 pm

Hi,

I just found your blog from a tweet by SassyT and I have to tell you that that is a BEAUTIFUL suit! The color is fabulous and I can't wait to get my hands on some boucle (even though it's still warm here in New York). This makes me ready to start my fall sewing. Great job!
