The bullfighters’ tailor
It’s not a suit. The outfit that matadors wear when they fight bulls is called a bullfighter’s dress.
It’s called a dress of lights. A bullfighter’s dress is heavy when you hold it in your hand. You can only really understand the dress when you have a 1,300-pound animal coming at you.
And the Fermin Tailor Shop in Madrid has been making dresses by hand for matadors for 55 years. One dress takes seven people a month to make. Check out that embroidery!
