Dear Isabella,
Likewise. I am sure. Brava! for saying so out loud.

I am HORRIFIED at the idea of using an antique piece of our cultural

you buy a slightly rundown Victorian house and tear it up to sell
off the pieces and remake it into a modern home? Of course not!
Most countries now have regulations to protect these homes as part
of our cultural heritage. It's sad that we do not have similar laws
to protect against the destruction of antiquities as is being
described here. I'm completly revolted at the idea of tearing up a
garmet that is not shreaded, not in rags, just to make a t-tunic?
You can make a t-tunic out of good old linen for far less than $40
if watch for coupons and stash reduction sales. There is no reason
whatsoever to destroy a piece of history just to get something to
wear.
