I missed the first post. What is RTW???
I used to never buy any clothing because I would always think..."I can
make that." But of course I rarely got around to it. Then another
sewing friend of mine set me straight. "Never make anything you can
buy-only make those things that you can't buy." Thats has been my new
motto for several years now, and has suited me well since I spend most
of my sewing time doing historic stuff!
You were lucky that you learned how to fit and sew. Most folks I know
now only learned how to sew. If they didn't have a pattern for it,
forget it...and I was never taught how to adjust a pattern as a younster
sewing. I picked all that up much later.

1950s dressmaking manuals told women they could make clothes that
would look just like RTW, so they didn't have to admit they home sewed.
