New Member Spotlight- Divine Fashions



Mae Tuggle has been sewing since she doesn’t know when. She learned much of her trade working for a designer outside of Washington D.C. She moved back to Wallace several years ago and opened Divine Fashions doing custom sewing and alterations at 117 E. Main St. Mae’s work is beautiful! Her drapes and curtains are inspired, and her cushions have all the professional detailing needed to make them top of the line. Her services include design and installation. Mae has taken on sewing jobs for organizations doing tote bags for conferences, and offers monogram services. She has a number of vendor samples and a large selection of quality upholstery fabrics that can be ordered, and fringes and beaded edgings as well. If you can imagine it, Mae can make it! Mae also accepts furniture and small household items for consignment sale. This past spring, she expanded to the adjacent store front and has opened a quality resale clothing shop. The merchandise mix includes separates, dresses, shoes, formal and bridal wear, as well as some menswear items. Stop in and see all that Mae and Divine Fashions has to offer.
Apart from the shops, Mae is an ordained minister, and pastor of the Harvest Time congregation. The congregation met at the Billy O. Rivenbark building that recently burned. Watching the fire, Mae thought perhaps it would end her ministry, until one of the firemen told her he had found her ordination paper and it was unburned. The congregation is so grateful to the Wallace American Legion Post for offering the use of their building until they can find another permanent place to worship!
