Saturday… We were going out later and I had decided early on to wear this ensemble. Rather than wear something so-so ‘n sloppy for the first part of the day and getting changed into the smart ‘n snazzy gear later, I just put on the nice silk dress first thing. And wore it all day, regardless. Whoar! so rebellious! A rebel… without any cause.
I will admit though, that I pretty much wore a (knitted by me) cardigan and uggies for a lot of the day and the tailored coat and glam boots only went on later.
We’re heading out for drinkies and a rather nice pre-Mother’s Day dinner now…. later dudes 🙂
min 16C, max 20C, fine all day

In my family’s MMM13 participation, and by the way, I should mention that they are innocent participants, quite unaware that I am keeping track of their daily wardrobes… poor things! Craig is wearing this shirt, and Tim is wearing this jacket again.
Craig’s shirt; Burda 7767, maroon linen, details here
Tim’s jacket; Burda 7767 modified, beige corduroy, details here, and my tutorial for making that combined welt/patch pocket here
Gorgeous outfit, I have always loved your coat. It is very funny you are keeping track of your family's MMM13 outfit and they don't have any idea. Great job.
Lovely outfit, that coat is gorgeous.
Very classy Carolyn. I love that coat! Must remember to make a similar burda pattern from 2008
Looking good Carolyn. I am dressing up today also because I have no horse riding scheduled until tomorrow.
the shape on that coat is so nice, love it.
Oh Carolyn the coat looks lovely, I have just got this pattern, but I hadnt thought of the shorter sleeve version before, with our english weather it didnt seem practical, A nice outfit you always look nice in neutral colours.

Love this. The dress and coat are both gorgeous. I was wondering what you were wearing to model the gloves earlier 🙂
Wondering how long it will take for the family to realise!
Gorgeous! Have fun this evening.
I love that coat. I loved it even more when I realized I had the pattern in my stash. 🙂 haven't made it yet, but I need to!
Hi. Just letting you know I have nominated you for a Versatile Blogger Award. Some people love awards, some people don’t. Please don’t feel any pressure to participate. It is entirely up to you. Just my way of letting you know I enjoy your blog.
Great coat – love your pics!
Ah, so that is the dress. It had been on my mental "to do" list since the magazine came out. Then I wonder how the pleats would look in reality (like a big tummy?) and cross it or said list. Then whenever I seed a version on line I think "that really is a lovely style, I should give it a whirl". Your gorgeous version may just to me into action. Btw, I *totally* agree with you about having a waist seam that continues around the entire dress.
Your outfit is rebellious and totally cool. I love your 'alana hill' style coat. It's so beautifully made.
I love that you are so rebellious. Sounds like something I would do. Love the outfit! That silk dress is fab and I'm totally in love with the coat.
I didn´t know that you have sewn this dress!!! I have sewn this pattern also, but now it is a little bit big size and I can´t wear it. Love your whole outfit!
Love the rebel and the outfit looks rather glam with the boots. Great action shot of Sienna!
Wonderful outfit! I do love that dress.
I love this dress (and the coat!) it predates my sewing time so I'm hoping Burda will eventually get the pattern up on its website
