Yup. In my family, it never stopped; my mum, my grandma still make clothes. Hem handkerchiefs, make quilts, drapes, tablecloths. If you were poor, you took in sewing for other people. My aunt worked in a sweatshop-like factory. And people went to tailor stuff (though it was considered a bit of a luxury.)
in Korean culture, all traditional clothing has curves.
Chinese clothes too! Traditional and modern (eg, qipao/cheongsam). I guess the writer of that post has a bit of Japanophile thing going on, because there are other traditional clothes out there that definitely have curves.
Well, I go get what the poster means about the generation gap regarding sewing. Certainly I know of people who fall into despair because they bought a pair of dress pants that were too long while I get puzzled about why they don't simply cut and hem. Never mind the missing buttons.
