I confess to owning about 5 dresses. Only ever wear 2 of them and both need dry cleaning. They're for funerals and Easter Sunday, I do try to wear a dress then to church. I was raised with wearing a dress every Sunday and for funerals but have since gone to only fumerals and Easter SUnday. I need to buy panty hose and try to get away with wearing good sandals vs heels cuz my feet don't like heels much and neither do I although I confess to owning a pair of low heels. Sew only in comfy clothes and always barefoot. Can't get the hang of the pedal with shoes on!! Love this topic and what you were supposed to do before sitting down to sew. My grandmother may have actually done that although I don't know.
