Pockets in clothes are always great, and it looks trendy.
They’re useful too since you can put your hands into them when you don’t know what to do with them in an awkward social situation. Or just simply, when you feel cold.
They can also work like an undercover agent when you want to hide stuff or store something for an emergency. Need a quarter for the jukebox? Don’t worry—your pockets have you covered!
But not all clothes are sewn equally. Liberty, equality, and justice do not apply to all clothing. When you take a look at women’s clothes, you will find the difference.
Either women’s clothing doesn’t have pockets at all, or if there are pockets they are smaller than men’s, or their pockets are fake. Honestly, fake pockets are the most irritating thing for both men and women.
Bored Panda talks to Roxanne, she is an expert in sewing and designing, here’s what she had to say: “I think women love pockets for the functionality.
We don’t always want to carry things in our hands, especially our phones. When I wear a dress with pockets, my hands naturally gravitate toward the pocket. I’m not sure why. It’s just comfortable.”
She continued: “I think a lot of women’s clothing lack pockets for one simple reason: women have curves. When there is an opening at a stress point, such as at the hips, the fabric will naturally flare out. This is particularly evident in form-fitting clothing.”
“There are several ways to solve the problem: redesign the garment with a looser fit, secure the fabric with a zipper or button closure, relocate the pocket, or, here’s the big one… redesign the pocket shape.”
Roxanne also explained how the pocket shape can be redesigned. “Shaping the opening into a slant or curve will allow the opening to wrap around the curve without resulting in bulging, excess fabric.
This pocket style does change the original look of the garment, so the designer would ultimately decide if it works with their vision. I recently drafted a curved pocket pattern for a form-fitting dress, demonstrating that it is possible!”
“I don’t think there is any political or social reason for the shortage of pockets. Most designers are trying to appeal to the desires of their target demographic, in this case, usually a slimming silhouette that doesn’t draw attention to areas many of us want to minimize.
A meme is simply an entertaining way to celebrate a feature many of us adore: pockets!”
