Dresses

Growing up in Germany, and being told by boutique sales people that I didn’t have the “body type” for some of the fashions I loved and wanted, I decided to start designing and creating outfits for my sister and me. As I made dresses, skirts and jackets for the two of us, I became more and more interested in making sure our outfits, either homemade or store-bought fit us perfectly and looked fabulous. During this time, I also completed my Bachelors degree in Women’s Custom Tailoring, as well…

I am writing you this letter today to express my concerns with the school dress code. I am a female, senior at California High School and have been in this community all of my life. Therefore, I have witnessed many dress code regulation concerns. I personally think dress code is a good thing, if and only if it is well executed. However, when administrators and teachers only go after certain people, and not all of them, that is where my problems lie. Not only are fellow female students being…

In the poem “Drama”, Mr. Cortés tells Lupita that she “needs to lose her accent” if she is serious about acting. At first, I felt kind of offended that he would tell her that, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. I believe that Mr. Cortés didn’t mean no harm by his remark, but more of a good intention. If Lupita can learn to lose her accent, she can portray the characters as they are making the performance a better experience. It can help her with better opportunities and…

choose the stereotypical feminine outfits such as dresses or skirts. However women where more than just dresses and skirts, they often wear shirts and jeans just like men. To men “women’s clothes” are the apparel that a male dominated society considers feminine and therefore appropriate for females (Jeffreys 1990, p. 167).

No longer was the feminine and stay at home woman in style; this was the age of short haircuts and dresses that didn’t emphasize a woman’s curves. With the emergence of the idea of the “new woman”, these women could only hope to defy patriarchy instilled in German society. The late 1910’s and 1920’s were filled with women taking up jobs considered for men: working with machines, mining, metal working, etc. (Guenther, 1). However, this was only one side of the definition. By being over…

It’s a learning curve Little responsibility. No real understanding. Very little concept of how the ‘big world’ works. These are just some of the uncounted ways of being three years old. Despite the idea of growing up isn’t thought of and talked about much it still happens to everyone which means it is still a substantially significant part of everyone life including mine, which has inspired me so much to write about my view and experience of ‘growing up.’ All though being three years old…
