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 <vbg>) 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 <grin>

Take care,
Janis
