I was brought up in a family where dressing up for Church and special occasions was taken very seriously. Therefore, I have always had suits, including tailor made suits when I was a teenager and young adult. Nothing fits and feels better to wear than the latter. However, with a teacher's salary, a child in college, and another one coming up next year, I can't afford them these days. Inspired by my now deceased tailor, I designed my "stitched up" tag.
I want to thank everyone who took the time to leave a comment on my post last week. Your thoughtful words were very encouraging to me. Blessings!
Wonderful post with a wonderful tag as well.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was a tailoress but died when she was only 55. When she was alive we always had the best clothes ever and I still love to admire wonderful, hand stitched creations though I could never afford to buy them.

Great tag, reminds me of my mother's family, where all were in the tailoring business! Valerie
ReplyDeleteSuper tag! Great elements! We used to dress up for church and holidays too, but those days are gone unfortunately.

ReplyDeleteI also remember dressing in my Sunday Best Dress to go to church with my grandmother. I love all the nostalgic elements you have used on the tag.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like bespoke clothing Arnoldo. We have a long line of cloth magicians in our family. Your post is lovely and I so agree about a teachers salary!
ReplyDeleteA great masculine take on this theme, and quite right to dress up to go to God's house! X
