PART 2: Evaluating Cost
Look through your own wardrobe and choose one basic garment, one fashion garment and one fad garment. Record the purchase price of each item, the average cost of cleaning each item, the number of times each item must be cleaned, and the number of time you have worn each item. Do your best to use accurate numbers, but if you cannot determine the exact figure, you may estimate. Then calculate the cost per wear for each item.
