One of my favorite hangouts, but in Long Island and not in Jersey. I
liked Syms better then Loehmans, which was inconvenient to get to.. A bit
of trivia-did you know that Marci Syms is his daughter and not his wife as
everyone thought?

I vaguely remember Syms. I think we were able to buy fabric
there...probably leftover bits from the manufacturer? I seem to remember
some Syms double-knits I had in my stash at the time.
Earlier this summer I got a huge piece of floral double-knit from the
70s from an older lady at church who is cleaning house. (And a couple of
patterns from that era!) My 21 y.o. DD's eyes grew wide, and she
immediately began to plan what she wanted made from it.

Which proves my theory that nothing is new and if you keep your things long
enough, and don't change size, you could probably stop shopping for clothes
when you're young.

orange double knit pants again...

Well, okay I'll go along with that, but mine were never orange, they were
always teal.
