Dear Joannah and Suzi,
Thanks for your inputs, i also found one in Ribeiro's Fashion in England and
Fracem a spanish country park scene, a gentleman is wearing a red suit with
green waistcoat.
But i have ben interrested in court suit wearm and i think it is a must with
off white waistcoat.
Could have ben pretty with a medium grey with my dusty rose, but off white
will also be nice.
I intent to embroider myself a new court suit, and i draft embroidery
patterns right now, so fun. I think i will combine it so that i make the
cuffs off white also. The match depends on the colours i use for the
embroidery.
I was so fortunate to find a Armani ribbed silk in dusty red lilacs. As it
was the last lot, 6,30 meter, i got it for 230,00 kr, a meter. They told me
the original price is 1000,00 kr a meter.
Perhaps i make a wreath of rosebuds in dusty rose on the waistcoat and an
old rose wreath of rosebuds on the jacket. More red than the fabric,
Please dont make any fuss about the portrait you found, it is the whole,
that lighter waistcoats was used that matters to me.
Thanks for your replyes!!!:-)
Bjarne

This, of course, sent me off looking through lots of portraits on the web,
where I have seen plenty of *matching* waistcoats, but unfortunately no
dark waistcoats with lighter coats. ( Do you know how many portraits were
painted at just the right angle to not let you see what is on under their
coats and jabots? Nearly every blasted one!!!! )
However, I did find this portrait -
http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/portrait.asp?search=ss&sText=bach&LinkID=mp05038&rNo=0&role=sit
which seems to have a waiscoat of a contrasting colour.
I may be able to go and have a quick look at this on Tuesday, Bjarne, if
you can wait that long. I have a suspicion that what shows is the lining
of the coat, but if they have the portrait on display I will be able to
get a better idea.
