As the economics is still at its downhill, mass market retailed stores are numerously cutting down their fabrics to meet head-on the second wave of financial crisis by all means. For this reason, there are some new-hit styles born under this environment condition. Uniqlo, would be a very well defined example.

check 1: save tons of fabric for leg panels for it’s SKINNY fit
check 2: eliminate pocket dimensions for slimmer/simpler look
check 3: remove hip pockets to economize to the extreme
DI SHIPLEY&HALMOS SLEEVELESS CONBINAISON

SLUB RACER BACK TANK DRESS
