I
remember the clothes that my mom sewed for me. I think I have these memories
because she is still makes me some dresses from time to time.
I don´t
remember many things about my childhood, in fact I'm not sure if what I remember
is real or a story told by my mom or dad. Maybe it is best to imagine a picture
in which I appear as a small girl, with big eyes and a short haircut (like my
brother, who is 3 years older than me).
Thinking
about my childhood I've realized I remember the clothes that my mom sewed for me.
I think I have these memories because she is still makes me some dresses from

We used to
live in a small village, where there wasn't a single fabric shop, so we had to
go to the big city. I remember these days as nice. We woke up early, my dad
drove and my brother and I sat in the backseat pretending predict the future.
We had to guess what color the car that went past us would be.
I remember
my mom had a look over a lot of patterns' magazines, she selected some models
for me and when we visited the fabric shop she spent a lot of time talking to
the salesperson and trying to decide what woven fabric fitted best for the
model. Eventually she bought the fabric, the buttons, zippers, everything she
needed. After some weeks she finished it and I had a new dress sewn by my mom.
I remember
one of them well. A two piece dress in tones of brown, with a small square
pattern. I wore that dress during a visit to Burgos. It was summer, I was
wearing it and I sitting on a bench eating a chocolate ice cream and I stained
it
Today as consumer I take care about the products that I
buy, for that I really happy my mom sparks her creativity and enjoy her
passion, design and fashion, sewing cloths for her, for my nieces and me. I
like it and I appreciate it very much, I’m proud of her and it is lovely to
wear something that has been made with lots of love.
How is your consumer behavior related with the fashion
industry?
