Not that I have anything against the people here or their clothing choices, but I must vent this. In the less than a week's time that I have been here, I have noticed a number of nice looking young ladies who all have committed the same fashion offence. It has been so prevalent that I must wonder--is it the high proportion of young students away from mom's advice for the first time, or is it some other factor?
Well, here is what I've been seeing: quite nice, new fall or winter jackets, with the bottom where the hem splits in the back still sewn up with the manufacturer's basting stitch. One is supposed to snip those threads before wearing one's new coat, allowing the garment to move and swing in the manner in which it was designed.
So there are all these otherwise quite nicely dressed young women walking around Leeds with their coats sewn up in the back, and it looks rather silly. In some cases the mistake is very obvious, for example a black coat with white basting making a large X across the central lower back hem! The worst offender by far had to be a coat with three such openings along the back--all three were left sewn shut, making the coat taper at the bottom a lot.
That is all. And if you haven't a clue what I'm ranting about, apologies.
