Discussion

Erin Riddle Sep 6, 2019:
I agree with philgoddard's recommendation.
A. Deb (asker) Sep 6, 2019:
Yes. It's part of the title of the course. I'm thinking "discourse"?
neilmac Sep 6, 2019:
Perhaps "Tailored /tailormade representation" might be an option for the course title, as it appears to be about how fashion represented the social, economic and cultural development of society throughout the twentieth century. We need more context.
philgoddard Sep 6, 2019:
In Latin America, alegato means case, reasoning, or argument. A medida is presumably a play on words. Something like tailormade arguments?
Like Gareth, I don't fully understand the context. Is it a description of a course module?
Alegatos a medida ¿Es el título del texto?

See the discussion box.
I suggest "tailormade statements" as a very rough approximation, the idea being that you can pay other people to make clothes that are a statement about you.
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Carter : Ha, I didn't get what you meant by the statement angle at first. A little obscure, but nice.
