I Need to Be on Project Runway

Dear clothing designers-
I noticed an alarming trend in Women's clothing. (And when I say Women, I mean actual women who have curves, hips, and boobs.) I've noticed that about 96% of the shirts you design for Women are sleeveless. Or even worst, have the nauseous capped sleeve. (see exhibit "A") Is there some sort of fashion design theory that states that showing more of my arms will make me look slimmer? Or, are you just assuming that we all sweat alot if we are overweight? Well, all you manage to do is:

1. show off our hideous farmer tan.
2. Make us cranky because we have to shave our pits every time we want to wear this top.



Since we are on the subject, please stop emphasising the empire waist top. Whoa, wait a second!! I'm not saying all of them, just a selective few. Yes, we love the trendy and hip look of these tops. And we love the roominess of said tops. But, like everything in life, there is a universal fight of good vs. evil. (Please see attached samples.)

Good:
Sucky:
See, the wide belting right under our enormous bosoms make the shirt look we accidentally shopped in the maternity department. Either that, or that we still wear our old maternity clothing even though our kids are 16 yrs old now.

Thank you for your time.

I'll try and write as much as possible, if you promise to leave me comments so I know someone is actually reading this drivel. :)

I just thought the same thing today when I was trying to reign in the jiggly arms!

It is a pain to have to try to find clothes that both fit and flatter anyone who isn't shaped like a runway model these days.

Amen sister, And what's with the idea that we all come in the same body shape. I personally can't find a shirt long enough. I've got a long body and short short legs. All the shirt hit me at my belly button... not a pretty sight.
Hugs,
Vikki

Great blog! I was just thinking of trying to find the jerk who thought cap sleves looked good and torturing him, just like I am tortured everytime I have to put my fat arms into one of those d*mn shirt!
