    It's a tailor shop - they will adjust or make to measure

    Who buys off the rack these days anyway?

    watch "The Buttercup Chain" for evidence of this.

    They're still not addressing the real issue, overpopulation. I note that China (for her own reasons) have tackled it.

    As for the numpty defending the multi millionairess, wearing your clothes in the shower to save washing them, will still introduce the same amount of crud into the system.

    in fact anything which is next to me body will get washed after 1 use

    only exception seems to be trousers which do get more than 1 day's wear even though they touch my legs - I guess it's because my legs do not sweat that much

    I mean I've had the same jeans on for 4 days now.

    I use them once and then sell them at a premium online.

    These people need to take their religion to China and convert them.

    Someone once said to a bunch of rule-making religionists, 'Ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God.' The current bunch is cut out of the same cloth. They want to micro-manage every bit of our lives but ignore the big things in their belief system. China is by far the worst polluter in the world.

    Stella could wash her clothes three times a day and it would cause less pollution than her flights around the world cause.
