Dressing-down-a-culture-for-refusing-to-dress-up


  The author, Notre Dame University professor of history Linda Przbyszewski, sparked some attention to the fact that many people do not dress up anymore.  She refers to the many people she sees in stores, the streets and even restaurants who are grossly under dressed.  For example: wearing pajamas and t-shirts in public.

    I could not agree more. Does it come from laziness or that people just don't care about themselves anymore? And what about combing your hair before going out? 

    Ms. Przbyszewski likes to wear vintage styles that she sews herself.  "Dressmakers feel sorry for people who don't sew" she says. " Most people are dependent on ready to wear sizing that they don't  realize their clothing could be made to fit."  "Sewing is not that hard to learn", she adds.  "People think it's hard to sew, but they'll spend hours miserable in the mall looking for something to wear."

    My thought is that one should dress appropriately for the occasion.  PJ's are for bed.  Dressing your best gives you confidence!  And your hair (as my father once told me) is your  "crowning glory."
