Clothes made for average looking women

And here is the second thing that goes wrong in the process: when designers want to try out how their clothes look in real life, they don’t only envision them on unrealistically tall creatures.

They try them out on a perfectly proportioned tailor’s dummy. The breast, the waist and the hips of these dummies are a skinnier version of the average breasts, waists and hips of all women.


The irony is that as good as no woman has these average proportions. They have more curves or less curves. They are apple shaped or pear shaped.


So clothes are made to fit the average woman. The average woman has 2.5 kids. The average woman does not exist. We’re all wearing clothes cut for this average women, while it doesn’t fit any of us.
