Evil Clothes-And their makers

[joanne0012]

Seriously, anybody who wants clothes that they like and that fit should learn to 
sew.  Not only will you get the style and fit you want, but you can coose to make 
up any of the thousands of fabrics in the fabric store!  And you'll save money.  

It's true that learning how, and getting the right fit in the first place, are tricky, 
but after that it's a very empowering feeling to know that you can have exactly 
the look you want, any time, at a reasonable price.  Start with simple things that 
don't have buttons, collars, lapels, or cuffs.

Please don't feel that I'm talking down to you -- my daughter and I believe in this 
very strongly and I'm a size 16 and she's a very petite 4, but with a figure that's 
apparently curvier than all the other 4's, so she has as many fitting problems as 
anyone could.  Good luck with whatver alternative you pursue!
