the next MarlaWynne Fashion TSV is on the 21/08/17
Do we have any news on what it might be?
My late husband had an elderly Aunt who never married, worked as a vet in an era when women rarely did such jobs, she rode a motorbike, never wore dresses or skirts and always wore waistcoats, she even came to our wedding in 1973 wearing tweed trousers, brogue shoes, a shirt style blouse and a waistcoat plus a tweed hat with a feather in it.
I cannot ever look at a waistcoat without giving it the "Helen" once over (that was her name) and all I can say is waistcoats these days are sadly lacking and look more like after thoughts or something which has just been run up from leftover bits of fabric. Sorry for digressing.
I only ever once ventured into waistcoats and it was a tan suede one, same style as a man would wear under a suit and I wore it back in the 70`s with flared jeans and over a cheesecloth blouse. Sighhhhh they just don`t make waistcoats like they used to ...

Vienna - I too had 2 suede waistcoats in the 70's one dark green and one tan and wore them in exactly the same way. Lord knows what we would think of that look now but could it be any worse than thevTSV?
Is it just me or does anyone else see a 'touch of' Ellen (Degeneress) in Marla?
