And by saying our pocket dress, she means the classic Marimekko Ilonen Takki dress designed in 1960. Happy coat is what the name of the dress translates to in Danish, and what an appropriate name. It does makes me happy when I wear it. (I have worn it so much, that I have thought about buying myself a new one in black again). Children always love to look in my many pockets, and they think it's so funny that the dress has small pockets and big pockets.

If I got it in the new red design - Kurkistus tunic - it would certainly make me even more happy. So it's actually not an if I get the dress - it's when I get the dress. And with Christmas ahead a red dress is practically an essential part of a woman's wardrobe. At least that's what my husband must know when I show him the dress. ;)
I know beforehand that I will wear it over and over...even after Christmas!
By the way - I need to tell you that the classic dress also comes as a spencer now. It looks like this...can you see that it doesn't have any sleeves?

arghh! sorry for the written mistakes.i have this bad habit of typing too fast.
ReplyDeleteJeg har altid elsket "Lommekjolen", men desværre aldrig selv haft én. Den nye spencer er da bare så flot - måske jeg skulle ønske mig den i julegave:-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a funny looking dress indeed, Anne. :)) And that's why I adore it so much. So full of life and colour.

Dear Monique,
it's also very nice to read your comments and posts. They are always so full of life and warmhearted. :))
I have had a lot of joy wearing my black Marimekko dress with pockets, so I just know that a red one would be fabulous to have as well.
More tulips are on my shopping list for tomorrow. I will plant them as soon as possible, and look forward to seing them pop up next year. :))
I hope that you will get a wonderful weekend too, Monique. :))
Ulla xoxo

Jeg havde også ønsket mig kjolen længe, Irene, men så en dag da vi fik en forhandler lige i nærheden, så måtte jeg bare have den med mig hjem. ;)) Og efter det blev min datter helt vild med den også. Så hun fik en i julegave et år. :))
Jeg synes at du skulle tage at ønske dig en kjole med massevis af lommer til jul. Den er helt vidunderlig, og jeg tror ikke at du vil fortryde det. Men den er meget stor i størrelsen, så gå efter én der er 2 str. mindre end det du plejer at bruge. :))
Oh yes, they look great! I like the spence, but in red would be great... I wonder where to get it, I saw there are shops in Germany but if they have this....
ReplyDeleteBIIG hug my dear, all is well over here, oh, will send a photo of todays Kindergarden celebration...

åh, sikke en fantastisk happy-kjole! Sådan kunne jeg altså godt bruge.... eller faktisk.. så kunne jeg godt bruge både kjolen og tunikaen. De er simpelthen fantastiske
ReplyDeleteUlla, I didn't know about these dresses and now I have a big problem. :-) I especially love the sleeveless.
ReplyDeleteDear Nina,
ReplyDeletethey are great those dresses aren't they? I have loved my black and grey one so much. :))
I don't know whether the German Marimekko shop have the dresses, but it would be strange if they don't. Otherwise I know that you can buy the spencer in this Danish shop:

Do remember that VAT will be added.
And they have the pocket dress for little girls as well. ;))
I hope that you got my mail. I surely enjoyed the one you sent me. :))
Have a lovely Tuesday,
BIG hugs,
Ulla XX

De er altså alle pengene værd, Rosanna. Jeg har virkelig brugt min kjole meget.
Så jeg synes at du og jeg skulle tage at købe os nogen lommekjoler. :))
Det fortjener sådan en dygtig workshop kvinde som dig. :)) Held og lykke med jeres første af slagsen. Jeg er overbevist om at i sejrer stort. :))

I'm happy that you like the Marimekko dresses, Larissa. They are absolutely fabulous to wear. I always feel well dressed and happy in mine.
And isn't that a fine argument to buy one in red? I sure think so. ;))
Uhmmm, også min drømmekjole - fik den efter at have kigget laaaangt efter den i henved 15 år, til vores sølvbryllup sidste år - en sort og selv om jeg vidste den var stor i størrelserne og købte en der var mindre har jeg alligevel syet et par indsnit i ryggen på min... og hold nu op jeg elsker at have dne på! Mon ikek jeg skal købe den røde inde der igen går 15 år før jeg får en anledning!!! Jeg tror det!
ReplyDeleteJEG er helt klart med på lommekjole-idéen! Skøn idé!
ReplyDeleteog mange tak for opmundringen med workshoppen:O)
Jeg glæder mig virkeligt meget, og er lidt ved at dø af skræk, men sådan skal det være, ikke? ;O)
