Tuxedo Shirts for Me

When I was in high school, I was a drum major at my school.  I had a vision of the perfect uniform but not being very skilled at drawing, I had to rely on words.  And, with that, my mom went to work.  She did indeed make the cutest skirt and blue sequined jacket I had ever seen.  But…what was I going to wear underneath the jacket.

Well, that’s when the search started.  We started with the local stores that rented tuxedo’s for weddings and we just kept working our way through town.  Many of the shops didn’t carry the ruffled shirt that I wanted and I certainly had no intention of renting one every time I needed one.  I wanted to buy one.  How hard could it be to find a store that would sell a simple tuxedo shirt?

Honestly, when you live in a small town like I do, it was darn near impossible.  We ended up traveling to a larger city before we ever found anyone willing to sell a shirt, not rent one.  Odd?  I thought so.

Tuxedo Shirts look better when you are wearing tuxedo. If you wear a regular button down white shirt, it just does not look right.
