Sharon came gliding down the stairs, adjusting her gloves
onto her hand. Wide rimmed cream hat in place, sleek and sharp suit and matching clutch in toe, she
strutted past her mother in a non-chalant, albeit airy manner. “Where are you
off to young lady?”, asked the mother. Sharon turned over her shoulder and
quipped matter of factly, “Church”.
Mother heaved a sigh of relief. In the orthodox household of the Dawson’s the
only date their sixteen year old daughter was allowed to go on was a Date with
God.
Sharon is just like every other sixteen year old.
Opinionated, independent, assertive and with a mind of her own. They no longer
like to live under their parents’ shadows, instead look to forge their own
identity. Sharon looks at dressing for church
in a church suit as disassociating herself with her mother’s
laziness and lack of habit. What she doesn’t realize is that in doing so, she
is embracing the tradition of her grandmother- now making a return a whole
generation later. Church Suits are
back in vogue. Church suits are a
hit with the youth, specially teenagers and 20-somethings. Maybe Kate Middleton
and her English style have something to do with it, but young America, Dallas particularly, is loving the
vintage! Church suits, Dallas based
retail chain- Mariam’s fashion- both are now synonymous with each other. This

suits of all shapes, sizes, designs, fabrics and hues. Step into the store
