Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
the anguish lies in clothes I desperately love (since I did a purge of the indifferent last year) no longer fitting.
I'd bet that some of it can be tailored. Not all, of course; it's easier to take in a garment than to let it out, and many items of clothing don't have any extra in the seam to be let out. But some can, and I'd bet that a tailor/seamstress could tell you which. Dresses/skirts are probably going to be easier than shirts.

Problem is, no income.

I thought of that! And my solution -- wait for it -- is to just hang on to the clothes until such time as you obtain an income or a sugar daddy/momma.
Yeah, it's not a perfect solution, but it *is* a solution.

I have to say, it's a great solution because it solves many problems.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tailoring is way cheaper than buying new, and you do still need to be dressed every day...

The last piece of clothing I took in to be tailored was looking at about $60 to repair. Wool pants, damaged lining. Haven't been able to think of tailoring as more cost efficient since then, because the pants cost about that much the first time round.
Either way, it's something I'm going to cheerily suck up until I need to have a work wardrobe.

Oh yeah, that's a big job. I actually paid like $40 to have a dress basically re-made (taken in all the way around), but that's the most I've ever spent on tailoring.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
