Video game: Do you like MONSTERS!? Big beautiful awe inspiring BEASTS? Majestic gods of their domain!??? Gorgeously designed creatures that seem to live and breathe on their own terms?!?!??
Me: YEAH!
Video game: Im this game you can FIGHT and KILL them!
Yep, this is a real problem. From a design stand point it saves fabric and time since you don’t have to add any darts or pockets, and they go with the premise that a flat square shape should fit everyone without having to make much changes to the pattern (except to make it bigger or smaller). This whole one-size-fits-all mentality in fashion is so flawed, and actually impractical, it really annoys me how teachers let it slide in college and how the apparel industry continues to spew it year after year.
As someone who has breasts (DDD-H depending on what manufacturer I’m talking to) and loves pockets, let me wholeheartedly recommend eshakti.com. I started buying dresses from them in November and I love them. They will customize necklines, hemlines, etc., for a $9.95 flat fee, they will customize to your measurements if you don’t fit a standard size, and I’ve really enjoyed all my dresses from them. Most of their dresses come in sizes from XS to 6XL Feel free to message or send me an ask if you have specific questions!
this is a good time to remind people that susan g komen is an awful breast cancer research foundation and you’d be better off donating to places like the breast cancer research foundation instead
It’s almost October, which these monsters have deemed their month, so please keep this in mind, too. Thanks.
