To wonder why there are so many hoops of ribbon on t.shirt, but none on skirts?

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Ridiculous. I bought three new skirts when I was in England, I was ironing them and not one has loops to hang them on coathangers. I know it is trivial but bloody annoying. I spent some happy time snipping off the loops on t.shirts and wondered if manufacturers can be arsed putting them on tops why not on skirts.

I think they expect you to use the clippy coathangers to ruin hang up your skirts these days.

Given that they seem omnipresent in t-shirts, which nobody hangs up, why not transfer them to your skirts? It may waste an afternoon otherwise spent doin fun stuff!

As creme says, skirts get put on clippy hangers. T-shirts have the ribbon things to stop them falling off the hangers in shops rather than at home.

This is one of the reasons I know I am turning into an old grump (or even an old bidder!).

I hate those t-shirt ribbons. Some of them are about a foot long and if you forget to snip them off, they then sneak out during the day and announce their presence to all and sundry.

And I mourn the demise of skirt hoops - I can't be bothered with those clip on things.

And when did they stop sewing hems and buttons securely?

And why are skirt waists almost as wide as the hips nowadays? - we are not all tube-shaped

.

its for retailler - t shirt ribbons so it doesnt slide off hanger arms, often in transit, skirts unhung!dont need them as they will only 'fall off' if actually

unclipped... oops

To stop buttons falling off within a week of buying shirts I dab each button with clear nail varnish. Since I've been doing that I haven't had to sew on a single button despite my Ds's habit of only undoing the top few buttons and yanking the shirt over their heads.

Oooh - good tip!

I am tube shaped. This morning I nearly dislocated my index finger putting on a t.shirt with loops in. This afternoon I will be cutting them out of all the tops I've got. I won't be sewing them into the skirts though.

... and why do womens stuff have stuch rubbish pockets.

When I was a kid my mum used to cut those ribbon loops out and give them to me to put in my dolls' hair.

I bought some pj's for my 15 month old (in France) last week & the ribbon thingies on the (shorts) bottoms were so long they came down way past her knees!

The loops are crazy long on kids clothes here

Are skirts 'waists' not wider because the skirts are supposed to sit on the hips rather than at the waist?

Not in my world Bluemoon. I loathe things on my hips, every year I buy 20 pairs of black sloggi knickers. I know they are unattractive, but comfort over style every day of the week for me [lazy] [unglamorous]
