This is part of costume that @fayloren found at the stocksale of the Nationale Opera & Ballet. Because it was too big for her, I adjusted it to her size, and we also came up with a system to make it fit several sizes, so she could also dress someone else of her crew in it. She'll be using the costume this Sunday at her show at @toujourshaarlem You should really go see her! #alteration #costume #vintage #vintagetailor

My heart always skips a beat when I see Fay Loren wearing this beautiful vintage show girl costume on stage. 💕 I helped her restore it a little a couple of years ago. 🪄I magically made dissapear the worn fabric on the bust, that you can see in the second picture. And I reinforced the frayed edges of the gloves in the 3rd picture. As always, I forgot to take good before and after pictures, but I'm sure you get the main idea. I'm currently working on another alteration project for Fay, can't wait to show you more of that! #showgirl #burlesque #vintagecostume #vintage #vintagemending #vintagealteration #vintagetailor

Alteration I did for a customer at Laura Dols Vintage. I always forget to make before pictures, but this dress was fully closed in the back. #makedoandmend #vintagetailor #vintagealteration #lauradolsvintage

I've put together some new mending kits last week. They contain all the basic tools you need for your mending chores! A beautiful pair of stork scissors, a box of pins, a tape measure with both inches and centimeters, a seam ripper, a needle set with standard sewing needles, embroidery needles and darning needles, a yarn braid with different colors of sew-all thread and a threader. The pouch is a simpler design this time, which makes them available at 19,50 euro. Send me a DM if you'ld like to purchase one! The old mending kits with the fancier pouches are also still available at 39,50 euro. If you could use some assistance for your repair work, and love to learn new skills, you can still join my mending workshop on May 26th. Link in bio or send me a DM for more info. #mending #makedoandmend #mendingkit #clothesrepair #vintagerepair

I finished this cute little dress just last week. @lafleurduflore provided me with a picture of a 1930s dress, and this is my interpretation and adaptation to Jenn's measurements of it. It's made from a linnen/tencel mix. I found some cute buttons at the Knopenwinkel in Amsterdam, and th 1930s celluloid buckle I bought from @swagmansdaughter #1930s #customorder #madetomeasure #vintagetailor

Evening dress Made out of Liberty fabric #vintagefashion #libertyfabric #vintagetailor #madetomeasure

Another original design for “Portret” by Tjitske Reidinga. Tjitske wanted a big black dramatic costume with historical references, which she could peel off layer by layer. The top skirt consists of several (hidden) pockets in the velvet parts, in which she could gather some props. The overall look had to be stern – hence the high closed up collar in lace – but I used a sheer fabric for the blouse to add some contrast and flirtiness.

Original design for "Portret" by Tjitske Reidinga. As Tjitske loves wearing aprons, an apron couldn't be left out from the costumes for her one woman show. Included in the design are big shoulder parts, referring to the 1930s, and pockets off course!

After the premiere of "Portret" by Tjitske Reidinga at de Kleine Komedie -the production which I made costumes for- we went for drinks at café Schiller.

Still so happy with this costume piece I made for Margreet Dolman back in 2019. I was so honoured to be asked to make this, as @j.a._jansen and I had been frequenting her winter performance for a couple of years. We already got our tickets for this year's show! If you are in need of some warmth and joy during the often dark and stressfull end of the year period, I can highly recommend this show! #margreetdolman #amsterdam #bettyasfalt

The theater production I am working on is coming to it's end phase, so I decided to do some destashing, before I start working on my new projects next year. I will be posting stuff in my stories, and afterwards, they will go to the 'for sale' highlight. Some items have prices indicated. Others don't. For these items you can make me a nice offer ☺ If you like more information or pictures, do not hesitate to send me a DM.

Sometimes you'll find me not behind my sewing machine... Last February I recorded a song with the Jansen & de Vries Quartet that was released on Amsterdam Beatclub's 20th anniversary album in July. Joost and I have been touring the South of the States in September, and finished at the King Biscuit Blues festival in Helena, Arkansas. We were honoured to be Thomas' guests during the King Biscuit Time radio show, to present our song. I was soooooo nervous but also very proud that we were featured in this historic blues radio show, during the festival which featured so many great musicians.

Here's something I finished earlier this year in Februari. Jenn asked me to make a copy of the dress pictured in the last image. I used a beautiful tencel fabric for this dress, and found a matching vintage buckle. If you'ld like to have a custom garment made yourself, please reach out to me with your ideas! I still have a few spots left for commissions in 2024. #vintagetailor #vintagedressmaker #1940s #1940sstyle #1940sfashion #vintagestyle

Another day at @lauradolsvintage mending all these treasures. Pictures by @j.a._jansen #vintage #mending #amsterdam #darning

As I have gotten a bit behind on posting everything I made during the past year, I'll try to make up for this in the next couple of weeks. Beginning with this bridal ensemble for Fleur. She had found a beautiful lace piece at @lauradolsvintage, which I altered a bit for her. And I made her a top plus wide legged 1940s style trousers to wear underneath it. The final ensemble was made in a vibrant golden silk fabric, which contrasted beautifully with the white lace. Unfortunately I haven't got any color pictures. Are you planning to get married soon and are you looking for a custom vintage style outfit? Get in touch! I have openings for commissions from April 2024 on.

I am currently working on a bigger project - which I can't tell you about yet for know - when I found myself suddenly having a week off, as a fitting got postponed and I couldn't work any further. So I digged into my fabric pile and decided to realize an idea I had on my mind for years now. I found this vintage 1940s fabric on Portobello Road Market in London a couple of years ago. The design of the blouse is inspired by a blouse I once owned, but grew out of. I always regretted having sold it. Ready right in time for the hot weather this weekend! #vintagetailor #1940s #1940sfashion #paisley #vintagefabric #sofiemariettaeugene

Throwback to this custom western suit I made a couple of years ago. I would love to make another one of these! Still got 7 spots open for custom orders in 2024.

Welcoming June with this tropical dress I recently made. I used an existing pattern which I adjusted to my client's measurements. She provided me with this wonderful vintage fabric. It was quite a puzzle to match the print in the pattern pieces, as the amount of fabric was limited. If you'ld also like to have a custom piece of garment made by me, just reach out! I'm takin' on new orders from March 2024. photos: @j.a._jansen #custommade #vintagetailor #1940sstyle #1940s #sofiemariettaeugene #hawaiiandress #vintagefabric

One of the most fun alteration projects I've been working on lately. Jenn sent me this skirt/shorts combo that had the legs of the shorts peeping out underneath the skirt. I Lengthened the hem of the skirt, by adding a bias tape, and covered the previous hemline with some vintage ric rac band. What do you think? If you also have a hemline problem with one of your favorite garments, just shoot me a message, and I'll be glad to help you out! #vintagemending #vintagegarments #vintagealterations #vintagefashion #1940sfashion #vintagetailor

Something I finished about a year ago and never got around to show you.

I'm doing an early Spring cleaning, and I'm destashing at my atelier. I'll be posting some stuff for sale in my stories over the next couple of weeks. Mostly fabrics and notions, but there might be some vintage garments coming up from my personal collection too. Feel free to make an appointment at my atelier to look at the items up close and/or to pick-up things. Unless mentioned otherwise, I can ship everything as well. DM if you are interested. First come, first served. And please pay withing 48 hours or the item goes on to the next in line. Items will be moved to the 'for sale' highlight afterwards. #destash #springcleaning #sofiemariettaeugene #forsale #vintagefabrics #vintage #amsterdam

Currently working on a New Project. Can you guess what it is?

Yesterday we went to a beautiful wedding party, which made me think... Can't believe that it was only little more than two months ago that @j.a._jansen and I got married ourselves in beautiful City Park in New Orleans! Here's a full pic of my linnen 1940s style wedding suit, which off course I made myself. This occasion was a good excuse to order me some new @remixvintageshoes . And finally got to wear my hair flowers from @shazamvintagepinuphairflowers again. They were a perfect match!

From the archives... It's been quite hot here in the Netherlands the past few days, but unfortunately we haven't been able to make it to our favorite beach spot yet. so here's a pic from last year, when I just finished these culottes, and paired them with a cotton cap sleeve blouse I made myself, a vintage hat from @lauradolsvintage, and vintage bangles, earclips and sunglasses.

Meet the Marietta in Sofie Marietta Eugene. My grandmother, whom I was named after, and who inspired me to become a tailor. When I was little and visiting my grandparents, my grandmother often used to be working behind her sewing machine in the living room. She usually gave me some leftover scraps of fabric, to make some clothes for my dolls while she was finishing her orders. Here I'm mending my grandfather's favorite sweater, as my grandmother's eyes no longer allow her to do detailed sewing unfortunately. 📷 @j.a._jansen #vintagetailor #vintageseamstress #mending #family #sofiemariettaeugene

I recently came across this post by Nick Forde on FB, and found it very fascinating, so I thought I'ld share it with you: Amelia Earhart’s accomplishments above the clouds made her a worldwide icon, but she was also a savvy businesswoman. In the 30s, Earhart became one of the first celebrities to create her own fashion line. Today, women almost always purchase their clothing as “separates,” but it was the record-setting aviator who popularized this trend. While this little-known aspect of her iconic career ended up sideways, her fashion-forward, yet practical, designs continue to influence fashion designs to this day. After becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic as a solo pilot, Earhart found herself short of funds. In order to ensure that her career as a groundbreaking aviator didn’t just crash and burn, Earhart and her husband George Charles Putnam (who also served as her manager) turned to fashion. The idea for Earhart’s line was likely inspired by a visit from renowned fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. The two women discussed the idea of practical clothes for “active living,” the same brand of clothing that Earhart would later release. Earhart began manufacturing her clothing line in 1933 in her suite in New York’s Hotel Seymour. Her work space only included a sewing machine and a mannequin. With the help of a single seamstress, Earhart brought her fashion line to life. Initially debuting at R.H. Macy & Co. in New York, Amelia Earhart Fashions went on to be sold at 30 department stores nationwide. The clothing line included 25 outfits, from dresses and skirts to pants and outerwear. Each garment featured a tag with Earhart’s signature in black writing overlapping a red plane darting from left to right. The clothing line was groundbreaking, eccentric and practical. And although families across the country were struggling with the fallout from the Great Depression, fashion—albeit fashion on a dime—was still as important as ever. Read further in comments.

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY With one of the very first men's suits I ever made. This one was for @hotrodhell back in 2015. A 1950s style wool gabardine two piece suit, made-to-measure. #vintagetailor #vintageseamstress #made-to-order #made-to-measure #1950s #vintagefashion

On fridays you'll find me behind the sewing machine at @lauradolsvintage , mending and altering. One of my recent customers was this beautiful dame. She had fallen in love with a pale blue 1960s linen ensemble, which unfortunately was too big. So I tailored it and made it perfectly fitting. Doesn't she look gorgeous?

Still love this picture made by @j.a._jansen a while ago. Wearing the #nightanddayhomewear Ruby pantettes set. Reposted from @j.a._jansen It's been awhile since I've posted something. I've been very busy with the preparation of a new project. Besides that I've been touring in the U.S. for the last month as well, which was very inspiring for me as a musician and photographer. Going through my old photo's I found this lovely picture of my wife @sofiemariettaeugene, and I couldn't resist sharing this one with you. Normally I don't add effects like scratches and lightleaks, but being in a transitional period I thought;"why not?" What do you think? Let me know in the comments! #georgehurrell #vintagehollywoodportraits #hollywoodglamourportraits #goldenageofhollywood #vintagestyle #blackandwhitephotography #hollywoodlighting #threepointlighting #inspiration #lightleak #worngaragephotography

Keeping my recent summer vacation spirits high with this first finished commission after my break. @famkeernst provided me with some beautiful vintage cold rayon fabric with Hawaiian print, to make a shirt for her love. Unfortunately there wasn't enough fabric to make the print match in the front. But I did manage to match the print of the pocket perfectly to the print of the shirt, as you can see in the second picture. Used a 1950s pattern that I graded somewhat. And finished with vintage buttons, off course! #vintageseamstress #vintagetailor #madetoorder #madetomeasure #vintagefabric #vintagehawaiianshirt #1950sshirt #hawaiianshirt #vintagefashion #1950s

We arrived in a cute little town called Nederland, which was founded by Dutch people, and which was the home of TEX Ritter. We met some lovely people here.

Today is the start of our road trip. After a week in New Orleans we now head to Texas.

SPRING IS FOR NEW BEGINNINGS I have a confession to make... The last few months I've been feeling rather unhappy with my small business. I felt like I only spent time behind my computer, trying everything to become a sales person, and to meet to Instagram's expectations (expectations which I might have created myself). And this made me frustrated, because if there's one thing that I'm not, it's a sales person. Over the past few years I've turned down several custom comissions, because I wanted to concentrate on Night and Day Homewear. I missed just creating and mending garments. So I decided that it was time for a change. I've reorganised my business, so that I'm able again to take on custom commisions and show you all about mending garments. I've integrated Night and Day Homewear in this new business, so you'll still be able to order those Old Hollywood robes and pyjamas if you are interested. I'll also show you a bit more of what I like to wear and what I like to do in my spare time. I'm so happy and relieved that I've taken this decision, and I hope you'll bare with me on this new journey. And yes, you've guessed it, it's called SOFIE MARIETTA EUGENE - which is my full name - but more on this later! Happy Easter for now darlings! xxx #nightanddayhomewear #sofiemariettaeugene #vintagemendingandtailoringservices #vintagemending #1940sfashion #1930sfashion #oldhollywood #vintagesewing #vintageseamstress

MARCH MENDING MONTH - I am finally trying to conquer my fear to speak in front of a camera. Listen up what I have in store for you for March Mending MONTH, and try not to buy new these next couple of weeks, but cherish what you already have in your closet and give a second life to broken garments, by mending them!

CIRCULAR ECONOMY - Last week was all about circular economy in the Netherlands. At Night and Day Homewear, circular economy is a year-round theme. At the end of this month, I'm having a big clear-out of (vintage) fabrics and notions. And March will be Mending Month. I'll be hosting several mending workshops, to help you preserve your well-loved clothes. New this year is the Mending Circle, a cosy gathering for everyone with big mending piles and no courage or time to dive into them by themselves, accompanied by snacks, drinks, and lovely people. More info on all this, see link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ #nad #nightanddayhomewear #nightandday #smallbusiness #womanentrepeneur #onewomanbusiness #fashionmadeinholland #stocksale #mending #repair #marchmendingmonth #mendingcircle #mendingworkshops #mendingservices #circulareconomy

HAPPY NEW YEAR Guys and Dolls! Wishing all of you a year filled with hugs, kisses, meetings with family and friends, parties and travels. ⁠ ⁠ This picture was taken 7 years ago (obviously with a bad camera), when I had just finished my first pair of pyjamas which I wore at a New Year's eve home party. It was around that time that the idea for Night and Day Homewear came to life. The pyjama in the picture was actually the very first version of the Claudette PJ's. It took me about three more years to present my first collection. (In the meantime I met my husband @j.a._jansen, and moved to Amsterdam). This year I am starting off with my freshly created webshop (check the link in bio), and some big plans for the upcoming months. More on this later!⁠ ⁠ What are your plans for the upcoming year?⁠ ⁠ ❤️

TAKIN' A BREAK 1/3 Not that I've been very active on here the last few weeks, but in the next couple of weeks I'll be takin' a break to recharge. It's been so quiet over here because I've been working hard behind the scenes at the NADH HQ. Time to step away from work now. It's not going to be the long longed for vacation to Texas, Louisiana and Missisippi, but we'll be making the best out of it!

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION @maiabopersonligstil enjoying the last days of Summer in Norway, wearing her custom Gene Beach Wrap.

GENE BEACH WRAP Here's a custom version of the Gene beach wrap I made a while ago. Unfortunately, I no longer carry this fabric in stock, as I am on the lookout for an even more sustainable alternative. I'll keep you posted on this. But in the meanwhile, if you would like to order a custom version of this beach wrap yourself, don't hesitate to send me a DM!

3/3 This amazing actress inspired me for the Ruby pyjamas from my very first collection. Being a dancer, she was often styled in short shorts. So I decided to make a short version of the Ruby pyjamas: the Ruby Pantettes set. ⁠ ⁠ Both are now available on my website www.nightanddayhomewear.com

2/3 And today is her birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Ruby Keeler! (1910-1993)

1/3 RUBY KEELER was an amazing dancer, and starred in many musicals during the 1930s. My favorites being 'Footlight Parade', with amazing choreographies by Busby Berkeley and 'Golddiggers of 1933'.

MUSINGS This picture really sums up how I am feeling a bit lately. Introverted, tired, defeated. I am starting to feel a bit overwhelmed again by this whole pandamn*t. Constantly being restricted. Constantly having to reschedule, being flexible. As a person who loves to plan ahead this last year has been a real challenge for me. I need to take a step back soon and recharge again. ⁠ ⁠ How do you recharge yourself? ⁠ ⁠ 📷 @j.a._jansen⁠

🌞🌞🌞 Finally some better weather ahead here in the Netherlands! I'll be able to sleep in my Ruby Pantettes set this weekend. Who else loves short trousers and a top to sleep in during summer?⁠ ⁠ Order your own Ruby Pantettes set now, by sending a DM!⁠ ⁠ 📷 @j.a._jansen⁠

BACK TO BLACK and white. Over the last few months, I've been assisting my husband regularly with his Old Hollywood Portrait Photography. I'm a multitasker, doing everything from styling, make-up, hair, checking light, setting up, breaking down, ... We really enjoy putting our mutual passion for Old Hollywood movies in these portraits. It all started actually when he was making pictures of me for Night and Day Homewear. The picture presented here, was inspired by a picture from Rita Hayworth. ⁠ ⁠ Wearing the Ginger dressing gown.⁠ Picture: @j.a._jansen⁠

BEACHWEAR⁠ ⁠ I just spent a beautiful day at the beach. And because it can be quite chilly at the Dutch coast, I took along my Gene beach wrap. It's a stylish cover-up made from textured cotton.⁠ ⁠ Order yours now! Send me a DM. ⁠ ⁠ Picture: @j.a._jansen⁠ Hat: vintage, @lauradolsvintage

FOR HIM⁠ ⁠ I spend so much time focussing on the womanswear collection, that I sometimes forget that I also do menswear 🤭⁠ It's about time to expand the menswear collection. What kind of piece would you like to see added to the gentleman's section?

FATHER'S DAY IS COMING SOON!⁠ ⁠ And why not spoil the best dad in the world with a beautiful dressing gown from Night and Day Homewear? ⁠ ⁠ Send me a DM to discuss possibilities or order in my Etsy shop (link in bio).

FOR MEN⁠ ⁠ Let's continue our focus on the men's collection. I wonder, how many of my male followers wear a dressing gown?⁠ ⁠ If you don't own one yet, but would love to have one, send me a DM to order one now! Or go to my Etsy shop. Link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ All Night and Day Homewear is tailor made. You can also place a custom order in another colour, fabric, or with different finishes!

3/3 DID YOU KNOW⁠ ⁠ That the Don dressing gown is inspired by and named after Don Ameche?⁠ ⁠ Here's a little clip from the film noir movie Sleep, my Love (1948), featuring Don wearing a dressing gown.

2/3 ⁠ ⁠ And it's his birthday today! ⁠ ⁠ May 31 1908 - December 6 1993

1/3 DON AMECHE⁠ ⁠ One of my favorite male Old Hollywood actors. He has such class and elegance! And I love his voice!⁠ ⁠ Who is your favorite actor?

SUMMER'S HERE⁠ ⁠ The weather is finally improving here in the Netherlands, after the cold and wet Spring we had. Summer's finally here!⁠ ⁠ I would really love to know: what is your favourite Summer loungewear or nightwear piece?⁠ ⁠ Photography: @harmonicas_harmonics

PINK OR BLUE?⁠ ⁠ Last weekend I did a little poll to see which combination was most popular: pink top with pink or blue pantettes. There was only just a slightly bigger preference for the blue pantettes. ⁠ But what would you think about a blue top with pink neckline? And would you combine it with pink or blue pantettes?

Yay! Tomorrow my long awaited photoshoot at Sugarcoated Company! Here's a little preview of the pieces I'll be wearing. #vintagestyle #vintageinspired #loungewear #nightwear #boudoirwear

DID YOU KNOW?⁠ ⁠ That you can also order the pantettes as a seperate? Super convenient when you already own a pair of Ruby pyjamas with long trousers, and would love to combine the top with the shorter pantettes for the summer. Or maybe you just love to combine them with another piece you own, or with nothing at all 😀⁠ ⁠ Photography: @harmonicas_harmonics
