In the centre of all discussions was and still is the wedding dress: What should it look like? The most emotional, tricky and important wedding question. On the other hand, the outfit for the groom was not a big issue. There was unanimous agreement throughout: the man&#8217;s wardrobe is based on the woman. For example, if she wears a plain dress, he must not steal the show from her in an extravagant outfit. In photo archives of the past it can be discovered that men at weddings preferred to present themselves unspectacularly in a dark suit, white shirt and white bow tie. Perhaps this would still be the case today, if the men&#8217;s world in England had not put an abrupt end to this monotony. All rethinking began with the &#8220;frock&#8221;, a garment worn by English workers. Nobody thought about marriage then. Young nobles took the unusual piece (cut diagonally from the chest down to the back) and put it on &#8220;just for that&#8221; on informal occasions. But the &#8220;frock&#8221; quickly found his friends, made its way to France, became more and more popular there as a &#8220;frac \u00e0 l&#8217;anglaise&#8221;, determined the street scene at the end of the 18th century and was then upgraded to a dress code by the English nobility with their thoughtful and strange rules.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13336\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Vintage-Hochzeitsanzug-Cutaway.png\" alt=\"Vintage Hochzeitsanzug\" width=\"1181\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Drawing of a wedding couple from 1952, from the Rundschau archive<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">From 1850 onwards, the tailcoat was &#8220;only&#8221; worn on special festive occasions. It also made a career in German aristocratic circles and, as the king of men&#8217;s clothing, became a must for the groom &#8211; albeit as an evening suit. His alternative during the day was then and still is the cut, a kind of frock coat. But around 1930 there was suddenly competition. The tuxedo &#8211; also a British &#8220;invention&#8221; and initially only worn in smoking rooms of English men&#8217;s clubs &#8211; quickly became &#8220;presentable&#8221; because of its festive character (silk satin on the collar and silk stripes on the outside of the trouser legs) and conquered the bridegroom fashion of the nobility and high society. From year to year, the tuxedo &#8211; especially among the younger generation &#8211; became an increasingly popular alternative to the rather old-fashioned and conservative tails. In the 1920s, the so-called &#8220;Stresemann&#8221;, named after its &#8220;inventor&#8221; and first wearer, after Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann (1878 &#8211; 1929), turned out to be another wedding alternative in noble and wealthy circles. The trademark: black and grey striped trousers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13331\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anzug-Bra\u0308utigam-schnittmuster.png\" alt=\"Models in eleganten Herrenanz\u00fcgen\" width=\"1181\" height=\"1287\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Inspiration Runway: Elegant suits by Dolce &amp; Gabbana und Daks<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tailcoat, tuxedo, cut and stresemann have remained a privilege of the upper social classes and the nobility until today. The bourgeois and still most popular fashion variation for the groom is traditionally the elegant, high-quality, well-groomed wedding suit. Its invaluable advantage: it adapts seamlessly to even the most modern trends and impresses with its creative flexibility.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Schnittkonstruktionen\">Pattern Construction of a\u00a0 Wedding Suit<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fashion for &#8220;the most beautiful day&#8221; allows more room for details and creative designs than classic garments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/shop\/schnitt-technik-hochzeitsanzuge\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13335 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Schnittmuster-Hochzeitsanzug-naehen.png\" alt=\"Outfits f\u00fcr den Br\u00e4utigam\" width=\"5136\" height=\"2328\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0suit jackets shown in the\u00a0<em>e-dossier<\/em> <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/en\/shop\/pattern-making-wedding-suits\/\">Pattern Making Wedding Suits<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Jacket and Frock Coat) have interesting collar variations and are cut back at the centre front.
