Religious Experience

Churches Clothing

You know what made us freak out recently? Churches.

Not the ones you pray in (your spiritual lives aren’t our business). The one you wear out.

Local designer Lucinda Trask created a line of silk, spandex, and leather dresses, pants, skirts, and tops that — fabric choices notwithstanding — are remarkably wearable.

Trask makes clothing for everyone from fly girls and bike chicks to her mom. The fabrics are preshrunk, so you can throw them in the wash (except for the leather). We went loco for the billowy blue silk dress and the sweet striped tank with a placket of buttons at the chest.

Just call us disciples.

Available at Topstitch, 311 Market Street, second floor (215-238-8877).
