If clothing designers say their outfits look best while jumping off a bridge, do we do that too?

I found this site linked through Hoyden About Town.

Two further things I hated are:

1. "Our bras are designed to position the breasts halfway between the shoulder and the elbow, which is what clothing designers intended."

Yes. Definitely the solution to this problem of clothes not fitting is for bodies to fit the whims of the designers, not to encourage designers to recognise that there is no one body size and shape and maybe there could be a broader range of fits and styles.

2. "You cannot slouch in our bras."

I DO NOT WANT CLOTHES IN WHICH I CANNOT SLOUCH. I like slouching. I know it's not "attractive", (and probably makes clothing designers really mad) but that doesn't say "comfort" to me, it says "constricting".


Our windows are in. But I don't have a curtain rail anymore, something to do with the supports being too brittle. Which is fine, we can get a new one. But I don't know how to put it up and I'm worried I'll do it wrong and it will all break.

Oh. Good. Grief! Everything you said.

In other news, I'm glad your windows are in, but that's a pain about the rail. If it's just the supports that are brittle, if you unscrew them carefully you might be able to re-use the rawl plugs that are already in the wall because those are the tricky bits. Was the curtain rail a standard track, or a fancy pole? If it was a standard track you can probably get another either the same size or an adjustable one with the same size supports.

There is no wall around the window anymore - the old rail was screwed into the wood frame, but now that it's plastic there isn't anywhere for it to go. I'm going to go to B&Q to see if I can find something that might work, but I rather suspect that my duct-taped solution might be there for some time.
