Does anyone make their own duds?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Dress Down Fridays make me smile. It acknowledges how bloody dull wearing a shirt and tie every day is.
i don't see what the problem is - in "scooby doo" the school janitor always looked like that anyway :o

I'm a fashion student, and I make almost everything I wear. Which is useful, nay essential, as I have a style that could kindly be described as original, and I'm much too skinny for anything in the shops to fit me. :evil: Bastard sizing! I don't particularly enjoy the process of making something - sewing just bores the hell out of me and I can't use ready-made patterns like most people do, because they don't come in a small enough size. I have to draft everything from modelling on a dummy - which I also had to make myself because the ones on sale are all too big!!! What I do enjoy is designing, and the fact that I can make all my daft ideas a reality.
I've had many a comment from complete strangers asking "where did you get that?", and I always smile very smugly as I tell them I done it all by myself. :D
On a 'style' note, if you ever see anyone walking around Glasgow with their drainpipe trousers tucked into a pair of cowboy boots a la :von: , come up and say hi! :P

Quite a few of mrs fiend's skirts are "home-made".
