No Jacket Conversion for Lady Chrystel

[Ancienne Alliance]

What happens when a certain Lady Chrystel wants her beloved husband to have an Argyle close to this one ?



Will she convert a simple grey woollen jacket and waist coat so that he can enjoy having it in a few hours ?

Nooooo… That would be to simple.

So I simply had to wait. And wait. She took some paper... her far out pistol shaped tailor's ruler…





…and she started to draw strange lines and cutting paper.







Finally , she was ready. En Garde !




More to come in a second !

So she began sewing and cutting…






The she kept adding strange multicoloured threads…








Now why exactly she went through all those steps will remain a complete mystery for most of us… including myself of course !








Hummmm… days passed. Lady Chrystel went on working, smiling patiently at my bewilderment.


Best,

Robert

Days went by and my dear spouse went on … sewing




Fitting…




Cutting…




It just went on and on !









Oh dear…

[Ancienne Alliance]

Yet stranger bits ad pieces that required infinite time were added here and there…





Then something looked like sleeve lining.





Wow ! This is starting to look like something familiar…





Then one morning, she put her lovely sewing kit aside



(thanks again Ern…)

You, with your own personal tailor! I don't know whether to despise you or worship you!


Magnifique!

Best,
Rex.

Robert - that is truly a work not just of art but of love. You are blessed to have such a talent by your side.

Sir Fitzroy MacLean would be proud, what a wonderful jacket and waistcoat combination, I'm sure you will treasure this one forever. Absolutely timeless.

[McClef]

Yet another skilful production from Lady Chrystel!

[Jock Scot]

You are a lucky chap, Robert, in more ways than one. The pocket watch and chain set things off nicely.

Holy moly! That is _absolutely amazing_. What a remarkable piece of work, and the photos are fantastic!! My hat is off to the Lady Chrystel!
