Puzzle Contest #167 with Lizzy Cseh-Hadzinsky

Let’s go shopping

(Dedicated to my anya and cousins Olgi, Judit, Dzsenifer, Rebekád and Zsófia)

May is filled with special days and celebrations of life. We honor our beloved mothers twice: the first being celebrated in Hungary on May 5; the second here in America on May 12. The Blessed Virgin Mary is honored with May Crowning. There are First Communions and Memorial Day. For me, a highlight is the emergence of budding trees and flowers, especially after spending nearly five months with very little green on the landscape.

May also marks the beginning of the prime tourist season in Hungary that lasts until October. A highlight of any Budapest visit is browsing through the many unique fashion shops in and about the capital city. There are dozens of high-end chain establishments that can be found in just about any major urban center. But, it is the small, off-the-beaten-path stores that offer, in my estimation, the most interesting fashions for purchase.

Those cubbyhole dress shops offer many types of unique tailoring and innovative embellishments. During my last visit, my anya and I scoured dozens of tiny businesses on the side avenues off Fashion Street, a few vendors at the Great Market, apparel stores a few blocks removed from Váci Út and several hidden gems in and around Castle Hill.

One of the most interesting dress shops was Csézy, located around the corner from the McDonald’s on Régi Posta. (That McDonald’s was the first to ever open in a Communist country in 1988.) Owned by popular Hungarian vocalist Erzsébet Csézi, Csézy is two stores in one. One side features custom-made wedding dresses featuring hand-embroidered Matyó designs, while the other section houses a variety of formal gowns and dresses all made by the women of Csézi’s hometown of Mezőkövesd.

Another really neat dress shop was located in the town of Pápa, about an hour north of Lake Balaton. Sissy Szalon was introduced to me by my cousins from the village of Csót. Their secret intent was to buy me a wedding dress, which they gave to me on my family’s last evening in Hungary. The bulk of the fashions offered at this family-owned shop are created by local seamstresses.

The puzzle contains 15 clues, each the name of a dress shop in Budapest. Good Luck! Happy Mother’s Day!
