In my sewing classes, fellow students often share their dreams about the future. Some want their own clothing lines; others aspire to costume design. When they ask me about my future plans, I don’t have the right words to describe them. I want to make clothes for myself and other "women of a certain age."
How to describe this growing sector of the market, overlooked by mainstream clothing designers? I have tried and rejected a number of possibilities--crones, grown ups, prime. My favorite so far is clothes for vintage women--implying all the good elements of anything vintage. We are classy, enduring, exceptional.
