I am guessing here but do you think that the tailor actually saves your paper pattern or do you think that they mark the pattern onto the fabric from your measurements?

I do it every once in a while, mainly with thin sweaters that have very long sleeves.

It's all for publicity.

I think that people are reacting to higher prices in certain imported clothing lines due to the weak dollar. At that price point, I think that a lot of people want a garment that they know that they can wear for several years.
