Probably an attempt for manufacturers to save money.
Also I see the younger women wear clothes that look like they have been painted on. Makers/designers they we can all fit into the same clothes. Women want to look like women, wish they would get it.

Can't stand to have tight sleeves and arm holes, not even mentioning accross the back. While my shoulders are broader than the norm I am not a linebacker. More and more I am thinking about making my own again to get a comfortable fit. Problem is will take time away from quilting.

The way to correct the trend is not to buy any of these clothes. Next season you will see adjustments made, as they can't stay in business without selling what they make!

Maybe the clothes are skinny again like the 60 ies but people sure are not. Maybe the resale store before they are gone out of normal sleeve clothes.

How about jeans that drops to your hips??? That's uncomfortable pulling them up constantly!! U know the mid rise pants? I want them to go to waist line!

onemoe, thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought it was just me! I think they are forcing us into bigger sizes because they charge more for the bigger sizes. Guess its time to go back to making my own clothes again.

My pet peeve is jeans that have a tiny waist and are huge in the hips. I have to get a much bigger size to fit my waist and then they look like I have baggy bottom syndrome.

I've stopped buying women's sweatshirts, altogether. The sleeves are so skinny, they can't be pushed up, more than an inch. Land's End shirts now have skinny sleeves as well. I don't have big arms and still can't roll them up, without feeling as if I have Ace bandages around my arms. We ought to all start writing letters to the clothing manufacturers.
