EN: sewing; seamstress; dressmaking
The magic that turns a piece of Divisoria fabric into a prom dress. It's the skill your lola uses to fix the hole in your favorite jeans or alter your pants because you 'gained a little weight.' The OG life skill before online shopping made everything disposable.
From Spanish 'costura' (sewing, seam).
Can refer to the act of sewing, the profession, or the seam itself. 'Mananahi' or 'modista' is more common for the person, but 'kustura' can also be used.
