Back at the beginning of the fashion business my sister and I started, we were accepting custom work from clients. We had a particular client who had asked us to make her a flowing dress with chiffon that we had in stock. We went ahead and made the dress for her. When she came in for her fitting, she was quite upset. The execution of the style was wrong. She did not want to pay us. We were both upset but I looked at the dress. At first I saw a whole lot of wasted fabric that no-one would pay for and then I called the tailor. I told him to cut the dress into a high-waisted maxi-skirt for me.
