For all those who think we'll freeze to death in Russia & Belarus... Today we were at the VK Ateliers in Molenbeek, to fit the uniforms ('never say costume to a uniform') we will be wearing in Russia.  Although, let's be honest, they're nothing more than (beautiful) costumes to us. Most of it is lightweight fleece, trying hard to look like wool or leather. Original materials would be too heavy for our 21st century ankles & knees. The overcoat is a temporary white fitting form. The result will be in grey fleece. Thanks to Lies van Assche & Chantal & company from the VK Ateliers.
