One of them was my aunt Rimma with whom I was good friends too. I had a few favorite ladies to work with (most of them kept very busy all the time). :) In my mid 20s, right after college, when I started making my own money, I could afford to order clothes from a tailor. I used to get compliments about my style all the time. But girls will be girls, right? So we learned how to make pretty stuff and looked stylish anyway! I remember making my first clothes when I was a young teenager, just a school girl, and all through the college years. We so wanted to look fashionable and fabulous, and it was very difficult to find anything at Soviet department stores if you did not live in Moscow. I used to make my own clothes, both by sewing and knitting. Living in Russia (although it began as growing up and living in the USSR), so many of us learned to make things with our own hands. It was made especially for me by my auntie Rimma who is a very talented tailor and at some point made her living by making clothes (she is actually a computer specialist by day job, and a good one too). I just wanted to tell you the story of my coat.
