A peeve of mine that has been around too long: low scoop necklines and vnecks that dip into the (non-existent cleavage) area, which being WAY too immodest for work, plus revealing too many age spots and skin bumps, are always left unbought. Why can we not find moderate necklines? I don't need turtlenecks but please, something that doesn't reveal straps or the totality of the undies when you lean forward a smidge.
Another peeve of mine, which is possibly a local issue: one popular department store, which has nice fashions in my price range, will not stock anything smaller than "small", which must not be that small since they usually droop and drape on me like many a large or x-l in other stores, and while I'm thinking about it, do any of you out there who usually wear a small really have armpits or arms that need dinner plate sized armholes? Esp. in a knit, do we need armholes in sleeveless garments that open half way to the waistline? What do you think?
My m-i-l has the same problem with necklines - she usually wears an x-l, 1X or maybe a 16, and the neck openings seem to make room for an elephant's neck.
Perhaps this is all another symptom of poor quality in the pattern design from the get-go.
