As the saying goes “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”.
The following exerpt is from AARP Bulletin:
“Designing Woman.
New Zealander Ruby Fowler, 88, got mad when she went shopping for a dress and found only plunging necklines and hems above the knee. Then she decided to take action. A widow and retired school teacher, Fowler has started her own clothing line:45+Frocks for the Mature. “If something doesn’t please me and I want it done wright, I’ll do it myself if necessary,” she says. The Christchurch resident plowed $3,000 into her business and is soliciting sales at local nursing homes. Her designs feature sleeves, below-the-knee hemlines and coat dresses.”

The moral: Don’t just dream, do it.
