Will this be a trend?
A nice story here about a Spokane-area tailor shop. Normally the shop specializes in adjusting bridal outfits, but fancy weddings have disappeared. Instead, she's getting more orders to repair ordinary clothes, and staying even busier than before.
If this turns into a trend, Americans may take up the weird radical idea of buying good solid clothing and making it last. And if that happens, the manufacture of clothes may come back from China.
We can hope, anyway.....
Polistra remembers her grandmother saying "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." Good advice then, good advice now. ¶ 9:15 PM
