Friday1961

For his wedding my son and his attendants wore kilts, and I bought two yards (60" wide) of the matching tartan (our family's plaid) to make vests for the young ushers and ring bearers. I paid $84 a yard and believe me, I had to screw my courage to the sticking point to cut into it. Not only the price made me quake, but there was no getting more of it if I messed up; tartan is woven by order. So, no. I cannot imagine paying $204 a yard for fabric! Or cutting into it!
