Understand... I guess essentially for me it came down to necessity, really...
I refused to wear ill-fitting clothes (ok, I was a little vain ) when I
knew I could easily make them, and make them fit exactly right. I was able to
spend my $$ on really nice fabrics since we lived so close to Manhatten.
Even though I worked every summer, my mom insisted because I was working I had
to give her something like 25 bux a week out of my paycheck... which back in
the late 60's that was a bit of $$ to me, since minimum wage is all you ever
got in High School.
Once in a while you'd get like a 10 cent differential for a late shift or wk.
end shift.... So if I WANTED a prom dress, I really had to make it... It was
fun anyhow, and I always had one of the best looking ones
Take care,
Janis
