If you owned a clothing brand...

What would you do differently? The vanity sizing thread made me think about this; I'm the 22/24 poster and one of the things I would do would be not to separate the regular and plus size clothing. I'm losing weight now, but one of the things that was hard for me when I graduated to plus-size clothes was that fact that very little of what I liked in normal sizes was available in plus sizes, and what there is is cut so oddly, which had the effect in me of making me feel like less of a human.
This question pretends there is a world in which clothing is easy and profitable to manufacture, which I do know is not the case.

| Similar issue to you, op. I'd offer just as many tall sizes as petites. |

I'd work with a production model where you can try on basic pieces (pants, shirt, jacket) in the store, then browse online across multiple styles that work for that size block.
So you try on the store's pair of grey pants, 16, regular length, and find they fit. Then you go on the website and can choose from multiple colors/styles in that size, and you'd know they'd fit. Made to order--which in the current garment manufacturing world wouldn't be terribly hard to accomplish. Also, pockets. And I'd manufacture somewhere that young women didn't regularly die in fires.

| Yuck to pockets. They just make your hips look wide. I would want clothes that are made for women with no boobs. So hard buying a small dress but the too doesn't fit (too loose) because I have no boobs to keep it up |

Meanwhile, I strain the top even when it hangs loosely everywhere else.

| Make the clothes machine washable and durable, like kid's clothes, and still look good. |

| I'd make pants like mens, with different inseam options (at least on basics). i am really short, with very short legs, and while petites have always been a bit long, now they are 5 - 6 inches too long on me. while i'm on the subject, would make petite clothes that actually look good on short women. |

| I'd settle for cute tops/shirts made out of COTTON and not some godawful rayon/poly/tencel/etc blend. They seem impossible to find! |

+ 1!!! Also- hidden snap closures in dresses/tops with low v-necks. I hate having to wear tank tops under everything just to avoid showing cleavage. |

+1 Don't get at all why they don't do this in clothing clearly meant for day. Where do they think we work? Yes, yes to pockets. |

+1 I have to factor in an extra $10-15 with every pant purchase because I always have to get them shortened. |
