I'm another who makes her own, for two reasons -- the first being the older I get the harder it is to find vintage that fits me properly, and the second being there's no longer any place within a hundred miles of here to actually buy any. We have a consignment shop downtown, but they don't carry anything older than the eighties as a matter of policy, and the local Goodwill is just as bad. Ebay has pretty much destroyed the local, independent vintage shops around here, and I don't like buying things without trying them on first. So, sew-your-own is the only option. Which suits me fine, I'd rather sew than spend extra money any day.
Which leads to some entertaining reactions from people who ask where I get my clothes. When I tell them I make my own clothes, they gawp at me like I just told them I took out my own appendix. How far we have fallen.
