I don't really fancy extracting my credit card from my boobs while trying to wrangle a wrap-front dress Confused.

This came up in my Instagram feed and I laughed. Lack of pockets is one of my pet peeves. Even my toddler has an inside pocket in his jacket! I want them too!

Everything I sew for me has pockets added. There are many Etsy sellers who make dresses etc with pockets if you’re not a sewing type.

pockets are totally a feminist issue. They are one of the key ways you know you are talking to a woman! men get pockets and utility knifes. Girls get well lipbalm holders..

it does look pretty doesnt it? but you know the minute your lip balm is nuzzeled between your babs the neckline is heading south.... also a passport is quite big

it isnt for travelling so much as having your photo taken while the other half is loaded down with stuffed man pockets.

The lack of pockets in women's clothes makes me so annoyed. I don't like carrying a bag, I just carry what I need. Summertime is the worst because coats aren't needed and I haven't got anywhere to put anything so I end up stuffing things down my bra. I have got one dress which has got fabulous pockets, nice and deep and I can put alsorts in there. We need more zippable pockets in clothes - manufacturers please take note.

Don't like it. A pocket in the neckline against your tits? You couldn't put anything in it unless you want weird looking tits. A tiny zip pocket agaibst your hip? You couldn't put a wallet in there it would totally ruin your silhouette.
I've done lots of travelling and usually wore combat-trousers with a skinny vest / bikini top or fancy top for occasions. Why should women have to wear dainty floaty / figure hugging garments with invisible zips.

Pockets are a feminist issue because so many women's garments are made without them or with "invisible" pockets that you can't put anything in without ruining the look.

The dress looks nice and everything but I can guarantee anyone wearing it would just use a handbag or satchel and no one would use the zip pockets because they're pointless.

I like it but would prefer not to have the keyhole back.

Yes pockets are a feminist issue. Clothing is a feminist issue from the ethics of manufacturing through design and point of sale.
If clothing is restrictive, poorly made or nonfunctional it hampers women.

If they'd shown a picture with things in the pockets I think it would be a lot less attractive..Lip balm sticking out over left boob, passport on hip all covered by stretchy breathable material. Hmmm
.
Are pockets a feminist issue?

I love it! Not enough to buy one through Kickstarter but I think it's great. I'd like longer arms on it to keep my bingo wings in place. Grin
