My phat suit!

When deciding what to wear to the private view of our exhibition, it was clear a suit was the way forward.


But this presented problems:


1) the only suit I own is shite

2) I don't like many suits, especially modern ones. they are really badly cut and hang on you like a sack and just look a bit shit really. I like really nice modern ones but they cost a fortune

3) I wanted a well fitting suit which, to get new, would have meant getting one tailered at vast expense

4) to get a decent vintage one costs lots too and they are in high demand


So, the best option was Ebay. Hannah measured every conceivable part of me and then the hunt began. I wanted a 60's or 70's Mod like suit that is properly fitted so it comes in at the sides etc and flatters the features! I wanted it to be brown too preferably and have a decent trouser that didn't look shabby.


We saw some beauties, but soon realised everyone wanted them and they were all going for upwards of £150. I can't justify that!


Then, the lovely and wonderous Hannah said she would get me one as a graduation gift, HUZZAH! And then in another turn of furtune we found one that perfectly fitted my requirements and all the sizes were just so and it was going for quite cheap (I think because its waistcoat was missing). We stalked it and did some craft last second bidding and got it for £70 I think all it - which for a suit is a bargain!


It came today and its shitting lovely! In absolutely amazing condition too, looks new! Its even Pierre Cardin or whatever the label is called, so its a proper designer and all!


Want to see it? Ok here you go:

GET IN! Of course, you will have to wait until the private view to see me adorned in it ;)
THANKS HANNAH, YOUR THE BEST!
