Spanish term or phrase: corte sastreril
Mary Tapia tenía una obsesión: crear una moda argentina. Independientemente del público o del contexto –el spa Colmegna, el Instituto Di Tella, el teatro parisino L'Epée de Bois–, sus presentaciones siempre implicaban un acto de reivindicación de las culturas originarias y la expresión artesanal. Nacida en Tucumán en 1934 y afincada en Buenos Aires desde su adolescencia, con sus prendas de corte sastreril y la fusión de textiles clásicos con chaguas, picotes, ao po'i y barracanes de los pueblos andinos, esta “antropóloga de la moda” –como la bautizó Felisa Pinto– no solo se transformó en un ícono del vestir nacional, sino en la abanderada de un estilo propio: el glam criollo.

El corte de las prendas ha sido hecho por un sastre o en otras palabras las prendas han sido hechas por un buen sastre.

I've also bought vintage well-tailored jackets
