I think clothes are all about movement. A piece of cloth with a seam in it moves differently than a piece of cloth without a seam in it. So, if we were working with a period where the looms were only 18 inches wide well, today you can make 60-inch fabric and why would you cut it up into 18-inchpieces and sew it back up again? People would think that was ridiculous but no, it makes all the difference.
