For generations, the “Sunday Best” has been more than a way of dressing for church — it has symbolized pride, respect, and cultural identity. From carefully tailored suits to elegant hats, these outfits carry meaning that goes beyond fashion. They are tied to family history, community values, and the joy of presenting one’s best self on Sunday morning.

This tradition holds a special place in African American church culture, where Sunday service has long been both a spiritual and social gathering. Choosing an outfit was never just about style; it was about dignity, confidence, and creating memories that connected families across generations. Even today, women continue to honor that tradition, keeping it alive with every step into the sanctuary.

Since 1995, Tally Taylor has been part of that story, designing suits and dresses made for church and special occasions. Generations of women have worn their styles to services, programs, and conventions, carrying forward a legacy of elegance and grace.
