    Yeah the price of clothing has absolutely plummeted, and that's just in our lifetime, to say nothing of comparing now to the Victorian era or to medieval timeshttps://twitter.com/ShiloByrd/status/1334957570952347650 …

    The reason why your grandma can sew is because clothing used to be expensive AF. Look 1 from the 1970 Sears Catalog is a *very* simple shift dress for $10.97, that’s $73.62 in today’s money. Sears was the cheap store working class people shopped at, equivalent to Target today pic.twitter.com/YP3UfcjJMS

        Yes, when it comes to buying new clothes we middle-class Americans all "live like kings" in a very literal sense

        Sort of off on a tangent - I was friggin 12 years old in 1970 and watched my mom sew designs based on the Sears catalog. Now in my August years, people need to be told what Sears was. Tears are welling in my eyes.

        Replying to @arthur_affect @MelanieMoore

        26yo now and still i lived the "only wears clothes my mother sew or secondhand". Up until now, most my clothes are secondhanded or bought from a thrift shop. But the prices are quite high if compared to the USA. Slavery still carries that country on its back.

        Even if you wanted to make your own clothes now, it’s so prohibitively expensive. It’s 1970s Sears catalog prices just for the fabric.

        It's 1970's prices just for the pattern now.

        Also clothes were better made and expected to last for more than 3 or 4 washings before coming apart at the seams
