I think I'd be interested depending on how they look.

jgmounts, what made you pick the choices you made? Do your gloves have a lining?

So, any other thoughts? I figured that some folks would have gloves for morning dress, or at least thoughts on the topic.

I am looking to purchase gloves to be worn with morning dress for my wedding. I think that Chester Jefferies is among the best places to get them, though I am open to other suggestions. I have several questions: What type of leather should I request? Which of their styles is the best for daytime for...

Most all of my friends and family have acknowledged my taste for the early 20th century. This includes fashion, furniture, or popular culture (to include movies, music, and literature). Many of them have stated that I was born a few decades to late. My bride-to-be likes to tell people that I have an...

Thank you for the information. I will have to look at some of the options that are out there. I guess that one of my questions would have to be, is it acceptable to wear a shirt with a bibbed front (not stiffened)? An example would be this one found at Vintage Shirt Company . http://www.vintageshirt...

Costi, In regards to the cordovan, I'd be purchasing the black cordovan, not the typical brown/ox blood. As far the spats, they are a sincere possibility. I haven't decided whether or not it will happen. It will depend on if I can find spats I like and what they look like as part of the ensemble. I ...

I am getting married this July and will be wearing Morning Dress. I still need to secure footwear. Originally, I wanted a pair of balmoral boots, but between the relative unavailability of “off the shelf” pairs, the cost of special order ones and the overall time those require, I have to seek out ot...

cdo, thank you for posting those swatches. I look forward to seeing your ensemble. In doing more research on morning dress, and wedding fashion in particular, I read portions of Emily Post’s Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home (published New York: Funk & Wagnalls Company, 1922...

Without going bespoke, what options are out there for a shirt to be worn with morning dress? I would like a white shirt with a detachable collar and linked cuffs (single or double). The best selection of collars I've seen online is at the Vintage Shirt Company . However, they only have one or two sh...

If the waistcoat is buff, then a buff boot top seems appropriate to me. However, I thought the bridegroom is supposed to be wearing a grey waistcoat, in which case a grey boot top is most complementary. HappyStroller, I have never heard that the bridgegroom is supposed to wear a grey waistcoat. As ...

The rest come from Villarosa and Angeli. I particularly like the buff coloured waistcoat in the last example. Buff is the more traditional colour for a waistcoat. Pity that the morning coat looks a size too big on the model. Sator, which book did these images come from? Is that a picture of an unti...

Thank you for your feedback. I do appreciate it.

cdo,
Any chance you could post or send me some pictures of you in your morning dress? I'd like to see how the cream looks in the overall ensemble. This is a definite possibility.

storeynicholas, Thank you for your input. I think you are right that off-white will look much better. As for rules, I'm not so much looking for rules, but people's feedback. I have only worn morning dress once (rental for my brother's wedding). In fact, I don't think I've ever seen it worn in person...

I am getting married this July and am having morning dress made for the event. The entire outfit’s details are complete with the exception of the waistcoat. My plan had been to do a double-breasted buff waistcoat with a basque waistline. However, I have had a lot of difficulty in sourcing the buff l...
