Not always.
I got a pair of T-shirts from These Glory Days. Wore them like 20% of time last two years and they look better then some others after 2 washes (albeit changed from them after coming back to work, and use work clothes at work, so not like they were used THAT much. So it's not always the expensive stuff that's equal to the cheap stuff. And funny thing, got them on a sale because they were pretty cheap, not really because I knew that they were quality.
Though had my wife with me when shopping and she might have "felt" the material and said that it was good for that price. Her mum is a seamstress if I remember the word correctly as somebody who sews clothes.
- wombatpm 17d agoGood to clarify the definition of seamstress with DiscWorld/Pratchett quotes floating around.
- mitxela 17d agoExplanation: in discworld, seamstress is a euphemism for prostitute, so much that people can't find actual seamstresses.
- wafflemaker 17d agoHappy to be corrected. Couldn't remember the word tailor, and seamstress felt very outdated and weird, hence the explanation.
- williamdclt 17d agoSeamstress is still a thing, and different from a tailor AFAIK (probably a lot of overlap)? I have 2 friends for whom that's their job, and they do refer to themselves as seamstresses
