I often help my girlfriend get into dresses that she buys, and I just cannot fathom how zippers are used in womens clothing. They routinely design dresses such that zipping them up in the back or side is the sole clamping force holding the dress together, which means the zipper has to withstand whatever force is required to squeeze you into a dress, which they all seem to require as designed. Then they buy the cheapest, plasticy shit zipper that you are terrified to break, and just kinda let you deal with that stupid problem.
I just cannot fathom that. It's a dress that sells for $80 and definitely cost $8 to produce.
- dfxm12 3y agoI wonder if $800 dresses have the same hardware. But every dress I've zipped up in the back also had some kind of eye/hook fastening going on, too. No idea what my GF's dresses cost though. She usually buys 2nd hand anyway...
- lmm 3y agoWomen keep buying them, so why would they change?
- thatguy0900 3y agoSame with the pockets. Every girlfriend I've had has ranted about pockets being non-existant or just fake pockets for decoration, none of them have gone out of their way to buy pants with pockets.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoEven if you could easily buy them, would most women trade-off the pants looking nice and being form fitting in exchange for pockets? Let's be honest, having a huge rectangle sticking out of your tight is not the most flattering look. There's a trade-off. Hell, if all we cared about were pockets, we would all be wearing cargo pants.
- mekster 3y agoBad business attitude. What if others start using quality zippers?
- Bluescreenbuddy 3y agoAbsolutely one of the biggest cons. Companies spend pennies making shitty cheap clothing and then sell them at stupid margins. Shitbag giants like Shein making billions at the cost of our planet
