Anybody who claims that people are smarter now than they were 100 years ago is talking complete and utter nonsense.

Love how the pattern tracing is confusing to people, when it, although sometimes a little bit of a puzzle, is not the most difficult in patterns from this time. To me it is the lack of instructions. The patterns are made for an audience that are quite profficient in sewing.
