Women’s Clothes without Pockets.

 

Hello Friends,

Have you ever wondered why it’s common to find women’s dresses, skirts, coats, trousers, and so on have no pockets?

History has some answers to the mystery like;

Husbands – kept the money or carried their wives’ money and valuables.

Politics – no pockets kept purse and handbag makers employed.

1800’s Fashion & Beauty – strived to keep the figure looking slim and trim without the pocket bulge.

Cost – it’s cheaper to make clothes without pockets (saves extra fabric and sewing labour).

The modern woman typically gets around with a smartphone, and house/car keys. She doesn’t always want to carry around a handbag. After a couple of hundred of years of waiting, proper pockets are starting to appear in women’s clothes such as leisure wear and jeans. We can find the brands setting us free from these old inconveniences.

Take care,
stay well,

♥ Ashlyn
