It all started when we tried to find a few ugly sweaters for the local production of A Fox on the Fairway, which is a wacky golf comedy.
One of the male cast members had to wear ugly sweaters - three wardrobe changes worth.
So we went to the thrift stores - Goodwill, St. Vincent, etc. and combed the racks.
And couldn't find ANY ugly sweaters.
Sure we had some discussions over what constitutes an ugly sweater, but none of the zillions we picked through were going to work.
Someone far more talented than moi actually took regular sweaters and made them ugly.
There is officially a shortage of them.
Because of the popularity of ugly sweater parties
The flashier and tackier the better.
So if you're considering donating your ugly sweater -
DON'T
It's a collector's item!


You're right, Deb. I volunteer at my church's resale shop and have seen few that I would consider really ugly. Well, except at Christmas. I always wondered who bought them. Now I know!
ReplyDeleteI have an ugly Christmas sweater. Maybe I should put it on eBay. LOL
ReplyDeleteI LOVE to wear "ugly" sweaters!
ReplyDeleteWe had some 'golf' sweaters that went fast! The recent best sellers had ships on them.

I don't think I have ever had an ugly sweater. I did have those that itched or rode up constantly. And they get tossed.
