If you don't know it yet, Ferala also sews for women. From the beginning of our existence, we really wanted to introduce ladies's collections because in Luxembourg there was no such service. We also understand that despite the large offer of pret-â-porter, many women have problems with choosing an outfit. This is due to many factors, such as a less standard silhouette, poor quality fabrics or inappropriate styles of available clothes. Tailoring is therefore a practical solution and can be a wonderful adventure, especially for people who want to put their creative stylistic ideas into practice.
As a reminder, at Ferala we offer women's suits, with trousers or skirts, vests and shirts. Coats are now new, and will be introduced to the collection this winter. This makes possible the creation of a complete wardrobe for active female customers who want high-quality clothes tailored to their body type. Such a wardrobe may seem classic or even boring, but it’s far from that! Countless amounts of personalization, playing with styles thanks to appropriate dimensions lead to the creation of unique pieces that reflect the lady's personal style. We can therefore have in our wardrobe both a Marlene Dietrich-style suit with wide trousers and a men's jacket, and a very feminine and tightly fitted suit with a pencil skirt. The idea is to have fun with the creative process of made to measure and the rest you leave in the hands of our team.
In today's article, we would like to discuss a unique part of the wardrobe that has recently gained huge popularity. It is about the waistcoat. This inconspicuous part of the outfit has recently become a style determinant and women can wear it in so many ways. A loose oversized style or a more fitted one, sewn from the same fabric as the suit or perhaps contrasted with the rest. Let's discover the secrets of the waistcoat. Traditionally, a waistcoat is a part of men's wardrobe and because fashion likes changes, women have eagerly appropriated this element of clothing. Moreover, we have been observing for some time the huge popularity of suits for women in men's cuts available in ready to wear collections.
The classic way to wear this small item is as part of a three-piece suit. All the elements of the outfit are then made of one fabric. It is up to you to decide whether to match your suit with trousers or a skirt, because the waistcoat looks great with either. The most important thing is to choose its length so that the front does not cover too much of the lower abdomen and the back is not too short. When ordering a waistcoat on your measurements, this is one of the most important points, and the length is chosen primarily with regard to the height of the waist - we will measure a waistcoat worn over low-waist trousers differently than one to be completed with a high-waist pencil skirt. It is very important to choose the right measure for the chest and in the case of a custom waistcoat we take into account, for example, the height of the breasts or the type of bra worn. The height of the first button is equally important and the client should determine whether she will want to wear the waistcoat over a shirt so we can measure a larger neckline. Inversely, in the case of wearing a waistcoat without anything underneath, it is very important to determine the height of the cutout.
Very fashionable this summer season, vests were worn on the bare body as a top. In ecru, beige or taupe colors, they look great in combination with gray or black pants and can be a variation of power dress. If you want to wear them in a less formal way, pair them with jeans. This could be a reference to the dandy style, especially if you wear, for example, a denim shirt underneath and an oversized jacket on top. Another interesting solution is to wear the vest unbuttoned, which gives the whole outfit a lighter and more sporty look.
A waistcoat, although being a small element of an outfit, can be worn in many ways, thus clearly changing the whole style of the ensemble. It takes up little space in a wardrobe or suitcase, so it's worth investing in a few models and colors. We advise you to start with one vest that is part of a classic suit and then add more as needed. Because once you start your adventure with this small element of clothing, it won't stop there, you'll want more!
