"I know my older sister loves me
because she gives me all her old clothes
and has to go out and buy new ones."

I once worked with a girl who was one of 14 children. (ouch!)
She had an aunt who, every Xmas, would handmake each of the 8 girls
in the family a dress from the same pattern, and in the same fabric.
My friend, the youngest girl, dreaded this Xmas gift because she knew
that she would never outgrow all those hand-me-downs,
and that she'd be wearing versions of that dress for the next 12 years!
true story!
