Following fashion in Italy

Hello Priscilla!

I moved to Italy 10 years ago and yes, I did change the way I look. In terms of dress code, table manners and conversation there's an Italian code published in 1558 in Venice, which serves for the common contemporary situations (like weddings and baptizing ceremonies, dinners, etc). It also covers behavior and choice of wording. Elegance and eloquence lie in the base of its foundation.
I worked as a personal stylist and I am also a certified bespoke tailor and pattern drafter. I can tell you that any advice should be customized onto you personally, not only for aesthetic reasons but also personality and lifestyle.
As for price comparison - I don't know what is your basis, idea of cheap and expensive and your personal style (minimalist or not, etc.).
I'm about to launch a blog on all of the above in a couple of weeks, and can send you some updates if you leave me your email.
I hope this helped 😊
