Selling vintage fabrics and clothes to theater groups

I know a woman who used to run a small store in the Central West End area of St Louis selling old clothes, including vintage fabrics. I'm not sure what brought her the most money, but in addition to her retail sales, she also made money by supplying local theater groups with costumes for their plays set in older times. I guess she did pretty well whenever they decided to put on OUR TOWN or something like that. She'd get hold of old men's women's clothes and I think she also modified them as necessary and perhaps tailored them to the people who would have to wear them onstage.
