Wedding Waistcoat has the ultimate in formal dress attire with our Marcella range.
The Marcella Dress Waistcoat sets the standard for those very important occasions when you need to look your best. Marcella, refers to a weaving style, normally used with cotton yarn, which is characterized by raised parallel cords or fine ribbing giving a 'golf ball' effect. Wedding Waistcoat's Marcella Waistcoats are cotton rich, this a very important attribute because the Marcella weave was created to take extra starch and there is no finer yarn than cotton for starching. The result – a stunning well starched formal dress waistcoat.
The Marcella weave is part of the classic White Tie outfit, some accounts even say the fabric was invented specifically for this use. White tie (or evening dress, full evening dress) is the most formal evening dress code. It is worn to events such as balls, the opera, and formal dinners. The chief components for men are the dress coat, white bow tie and waistcoat, and starched shirt, while women wear a suitable dress for the occasion, such as a ball gown.
'White tie' is worn only to events after six o'clock and before that time the daytime equivalent called morning dress is worn. The semi-formal counterparts of white tie are black tie in the evening and, rarely worn, semi-formal morning dress during the day, a code in between an informal lounge suit and full morning dress. The dress coat worn with white tie is a descendent of the coat worn at all times of day in the Regency period, so is also part of other related codes, such as civilian day court dress in the Royal court (in the UK). Perfect for the Proms!
Marcella is an Italian given name, the feminine version of Marcello. Quite why this fabric was given this name no one is sure but there is nothing smarter for a man to wear!
Our Marcella waistcoats are available in sizes small to XXL, they are, of course, backless and have an elastic adjustable strap at the rear. Each Marcella Waistcoat has three Mother of Pearl effect buttons and two front pockets. It is ideal when worn with Wedding Waistcoats Dress Shirts, Shirt Studs and Marcella accessories.
Our Marcella range includes the Oslo and Bergen Dress Shirts.
The Marcella Waistcoat can be worn with our Marcella Cummerbund. The Marcella Cummerbund is adjustable and will fit small to large waist sizes. A Marcella pre-tied Bow Tie is appropriate – but the ultimate is the Marcella self-tie bow tie, it adds that touch of class!
Quite simply Wedding Waistcoat's Marcella range offers the very best in quality and at very affordable prices.
Incidentally, did you know "Marcella" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Tandyn Almer and Jack Rieley for the American pop band The Beach Boys, released in 1972.
