Good Companions• The Girls who made the Suits v3

"The Girls Who Made the Suits" explores the strength and solidarity found within a community of women. The artist’s mother, a professionally trained tailor, worked 

tirelessly with a group of women in the tailoring department of a small-town store, crafting bespoke suits for local businessmen. Despite their skill and labour, the 

women received no recognition—credit was given to the men in charge. In response, the women built a close-knit community, supporting one another both at work 

and in their personal lives. Through hand embroidery, Sue Stone reflects on this unspoken bond and the quiet power of their shared experiences.
