They do a sweater with a collar turned down on one side that I love love love. But yeah, you won't find a lot that is very edgy or experimental. Nicely made, though! Conservative is not a word I would use to describe a good chunk of the store. The "wheeeeeeeeeeeeee lookit mah panties!" thing in particular. 😄 I did find it funny that they pivoted from that to power suits, but there ya go. I'm not 100% opposed to running around with undies showing, for the record. It's pretty cute with tomboy looks (which I kept hoping they'd lean harder into, but they didn't quite embrace it as fully as I'd wanted), but it's better when you're wearing manties or boxers and not dainty bikinis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 4 minutes ago, Scylla Rhiadra said: In my mind, women's pants and men's pants ARE different things! And sometimes they literally are: men don't have pants that do up at the back, after all (which is probably an old thing, but I still have a couple of pairs that do that). I think it's because, for women, wearing sla . . . I mean pants is often an aesthetic or fashion choice, whereas for men, it's most usually a matter of not getting arrested on the street for indecency. My mom, in the 60s and early 70s, had pants but they either zipped up on the side or not at all and no pockets. Sort of like leggings today but not as tight. Styling that way made no extra bulk, flies, zippers, pockets in the front where most women don't want extra bulk. Very flattering actually. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm! I hadn't noticed the panties showing thing, although that may just be because it's such a common look for dresses and skirts in SL that I sort of blur over it. I did skip over a number of dresses that were just too short for me though. One thing they do very well is lingerie. I got one full set of vintage-looking stuff (corset, garters, and so on) for pics (because god knows I have no other use for it!), and a glorious floor-length robe. Pics forthcoming at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celeste Headlee did a nice and very readable little rant on Swaay about pockets and the location of zippers on women's clothing. I find myself muttering, "Yeah, right on!" a lot while reading it. https://swaay.com/a-feminist-issue-lets-talk-about-the-back-zippers-on-womens-clothing It's actually, though, too simplistic to say that small or absent pockets, or weirdly placed zippers are purely sexist, because I know that when I'm wearing something nice (as opposed to jeans for gardening or housework) I'm actually very conscious of how pockets can ruin the profile of a garment. Even where I have capacious pockets, I'll sometimes not use them because I don't want my hips looking bulked out or oddly bumpy. I guess that IS a legacy of patriarchy: why do I care, when so many men apparently don't? But it's also a choice I'm making, not someone else. I have other theories about zippers and buttons on the back, but I won't go into those here. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pants that are all unbuttoned/too low and showing off all the stuffs. There were a few like that. Oh, I didn't even check the lingerie. I so rarely buy/wear that stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's totally fine if you can shove some cute boxers under there. Peeve: We need more creators in SL who are tomboy-fabulous.

I HATE thongs and skimpy undies.

My complaint, jean-wise, is that it's hard to find nice mid-rise jeans. Ones that just barely clinge to your hips and curve just under your belly? Sure. High-waisted? Check. But just nice, ordinary, mid-rise jeans are weirdly rare. Edited July 30, 2023 by Scylla Rhiadra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Hanes/Fruit cotton briefs, but I don't really consider them granny panties.

Yes, so we can properly roleplay being too stubborn to move up a size for comfort and instead regressing back to mall stores that cater to teens who wear sizes 0-2. Add-ons are a whole other peeve. 9 minutes ago, Kimmi Zehetbauer said: SL Pet Peeve 404: When the mboard lags out when posting or reading something. Yup, same here!
