Here's another question for your story:
What were your favorite clothes to wear? What did you enjoy wearing? What were you wearing when you received compliments on how you looked? What clothes did you hate to wear?
What kind of clothes did you like to wear when you were growing up? As a boy did you wear jeans and a t-shirt or overalls or shorts? What did you like to wear best and why? As a girl did you have to wear dresses or did you never put on a dress? Did you like wearing dresses or did you always want to wear pants?
Throughout my school years dresses were the required attire for girls. We only got to wear pants or jeans for special days. The first time I wore pants was when our family went to an amusement park. My mother wore dresses all of the time and I never remember seeing her in pants, but I do have a photo of her wearing slacks under a dress when she was riding a horse. My father liked to wear overalls when he was working. He would wear long sleeved cotton shirts in the summer and long sleeved flannel shirts in the winter. When my dad dressed up to go to town, he would wear slacks with a button up shirt. For church he would wear a suit, shirt and tie.
The most special piece of clothing that I remember was a prom dress that my mother sewed for my Junior Prom. She had been in the hospital and had come home just a short while before my prom. Although she still didn't feel well, she managed to sew me a dress with a lace overlay. It was simple, but it was beautiful. My mother died just a short while after my prom. I have hung onto and cherished that dress because it meant so much to me that my mother had made it for me.
Write about your favorite clothing. Why did you like it? Did it have any special stories behind it? Writing about the clothing you wore adds a lot to your story.
