Got a good one for you. My sister and I could wear the same size skirt, this one particulary. It was a inch pleated one of wool. That meant they had to be pressed every time you wore it. I would press it and lay it out for the next day. While I was busy getting my other sisters ready, she would get dressed and leave. Instead of hanging it up when she got home, she would throw it down and I would have to start all over. We went around and around over that skirt!
