Transfer of Ownership
Giving a garment to someone else is sometimes a straightforward and
spontaneous act. At other times a transfer of ownership is more
circuitous. Periods of overlapping ownership often intensify resource
use and stud a garment’s story with memories.
Never too old
"Before I was home last, my 93-year old… 94 at the end of next week… Mom was going through stuff, trying to clear out her house... This little leopard skin dress, she made when she was 80 and wore it all the time and loved it. And she decided to get rid of it, so I tried it and loved it. I wear it loose or with this belt that she wore with it..."
