I agree, but my taste in clothing is different than anything in stores. Would love to be able to sew my own dresses and suits. Before my time, but I enjoy looking at patterns from the late '50s and early '60s -- Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy style simplicity and super tailored.
I watched the movie "An Education" last week and I wanted the main character's white trench coat and simple blue sheath dress. If only I were talented enough to sew such things.  |
All of our clothes growing up were made by my mom too. She even made my dad's business suits. I didn't like it back then, wanted store bought clothes. I really admire my mom now, looking back I see how much love and effort she put into making us up to date and trendy clothing.
I don't like any of the styles now either
