Excerpt
In many American homes, the fall season is the time to look at the family wardrobe and take stock for the cold weather months ahead.
But not everyone rushes out to buy new clothing. Not these days. Anyone who's recently gone out to buy a suit, a dress, a coat, or any other garment knows that ready-made clothing is costly. Nationally, ready-made clothing costs have risen 21.6 percent since 1970.
So what are people doing today to take care of wardrobe needs? Many are "recreating" clothing. In other words, they're taking old, outdated, unwearable garments and remodeling them so that they fit better, look more fashionable, and seem like new.
