Oath Edition:

I was one of seven siblings in a poor family. We had no money to buy new clothing but school dresses. However, all of us did not have our own. The dresses passed through from the eldest sister to second, third, forth and so on before me. After that, I passed the dresses to younger kids. We only had a pair of shorts for each to wear at home but not everyone had shirts. Our dresses were rotten that could not recognize the original colors. Our parents had no time to wash and sewed because they worked hard to raise us.

At the age of nineteen, I got a job at the cotton manufacturer where provided uniforms to all employees. I did not buy new clothing because I made little income and I had to spend money for other important things. One year later, I got promoted to be a company operator that I became an office clerk. I changed to wear an office uniform instead of an employee uniform. The company provided shirts and fabric to tailor skirts. I designed skirts by myself and other staffs liked them.

After twelve years, I resigned from that company and applied a new job in a foreign firm. I had a chance to wear whatever I like. I bought the cheap fabrics and hired a dressmaker to tailor my dresses. I was very happy to wear my own designed garment.

Right now, I become an elderly woman living in the USA countryside with my American husband. I like to wear comfortable outfits those we bought from the second hand shops and sometime my friends and customers gave me their clothes that I love to wear. I do not like spending my money to buy my outfits. I am a simple , cheap elderly woman and do not care much how to dress.
