This is the wisdom known to women who produce stripper outfits for a living. Which is what Rosie and Gina Patterson do at the Brass Pole, the stripper-themed boutique they own and operate in Southeast Portland. And while it may surprise some to learn such a shop exists, it should be more surprising to realize that a city that boasts something like 50 strip clubs (more per capita than any other in the United States) has only one shop geared toward satisfying the dancers’ clothing needs.

That was in 2003. It wasn’t long before the woman told her colleagues about her seamstress, and soon they started calling, too. Not long after that Gina Patterson began taking her wares directly to the clubs, going backstage to show the dancers what she had already made, and to take measurements for the gowns they wanted for themselves. Though she wasn’t an aficionado of the stripper’s art, it turned out she had a talent for producing what they needed.
