I don't wear designer clothes.To me I feel I'd be just paying for the name.Since I love to sew I make my own clothes anyway.

I think you do pay extra for the name. I have some co-workers that throw around brand names and I have to say that I have no glue what the hell they are talking about. Primary because Im not interested in fashion. I were what I think looks good on me and if that means I went to Goodwill to buy it so be it.

I answered no. At the same time, I often buy designer clothers, mostly 'George', an Australian label. Having said that, I have just about always bought at sale time, such as 50% off end of season sale. I bought an Armani skirt, the one made in Italy not Taiwan, and it was reduced from $1200 to just over $300. I snapped it up as it was my size and it's gorgeous.

Good for you. Great if you can draft your own. It's fabulous isn't it? I used to years ago, when I had time. Vogue patterns were around then, many of the good designers are no longer available. Once I made a silk shirt for my brother. He loved it.

Yes I find sewing to be lots of fun.When my sons were little I made them all their baby blankets/quilts.Since the baby outfits were too expensive I used to make them as well.

Now that they're grown and out of the nest now I make my own curtains and throw pillows for my apt.

Let's put it his way: If you had any idea how much work goes into a real designer garment, they are worth a LOT of money. Also count in the money the fashion houses have to dish out to have a factory full of crack sewing experts from Europe, all the expenses of running a factory, the expense of hiring models and putting on a runway show, and the expense of custom making clothes for rich ladies who are never satisfird because they hate their own bodies.

But in reality land, a work suit from Wal Mart or The Community Thrift Store is good enough for me.
