Chloe shares her personal experiences navigating how she dresses for church and the many unsolicited opinions that came with it, unpacking the expectations, judgments, and contradictions tied to appearance in sacred spaces.Bri shifts the conversation into politics, wrestling with the thin and often unspoken line between trust and appearance — questioning how much a politician’s wardrobe influences public perception, credibility, and belief.This episode isn’t about answers — it’s about awareness, nuance, and the uncomfortable conversations worth having.The Garment Studio PodcastMusic: prod.
