Can't Find a Thing To Buy....
The fashion direction for the spring season appears to be maternity wear.
Pigs have been flying - fashion designers have finally recognised that the reason why clothes retail sales is falling off because their designs are ugly and unwearable for people over the age of 14. Fashion designers seem to finally understand that Australian women are getting bigger and bigger each year.
The average Australian woman is now a size 12-14. Despite the growing obesity trend, low rise jeans reared their ugly visage nearly 10 years ago and haven't yet gone away. Possibly due to lack of availability of an alternative, everyone wore them, regardless of whether they were flattering. I used to love the tops of muffins until I saw teenagers with side saddles of fat waterfalling over the sides of their jeans.
So what was the answer? Seemed easy enough - design clothes that cover up the fact that over-eating that has over-taken AFL as the national sport. So let's put our hands together to welcome back the empire line.
The empire line syle was made famous during the Pride and Prejudice years and tapers the fabric to cup the chest and flare out underneath - perfect for C+ cuppers with a big tummy.
However, shopping this spring will be hard for anyone who doesn't feel the desire to wear a muu-muu.
Are there any designers who will be brave enough to break the mould and design to flatter?
Have credit card, happy to spend but can't find a thing to buy.
