I don’t have television, but my position requires me to be surrounded by news and weather monitors all day. The Fox ladies aren’t quite THAT short, and CNN is about the same. But, while we are on the subject, what happened to SLEEVES? My wife believes that the designers dumped them from bridal gowns because they are hard/expensive to make .
Our church dedicates a Mass each spring for all of the HS School graduating seniors of the parish. Every student graduating in the spring class is invited to sit in the front rows wearing his/her baccalaureate apparel. Our parish represents several high schools.
Imagine my shock one year (I 've learned to avoid that Mass) when there was a girl in the 2nd row amongst all the graduation robes who appeared to be nude. Turns out that she was from Divine Savior Holy Angels HS where the girls wear long white dresses. Hers was strapless.
When I was young, I remember the Pastor of my church in CA decreeing that "strapless, halter tops, sundresses, and spaghetti straps were forbidden in church". Communicants must wear a jacket over such garments.
Your wife is right. Sleeves are hard to inset, but not beyond most sewers. Takes a little practice is all.
I agree, all the news shows are the same..ie:
“The Beaver News Networks”
I believe sleeves went out when the media went goo goo over Michelle’s biceps. Everyone has to show off their toned arms
‘Designers/bridal gowns.’
I had a friend who was very critical about clothing. She was right on about lots of her comments. She could alter clothing like nobody’s business.
As for wedding gowns with no sleeves, this friend said no one should be required to look into the (not flattering) arm pits of the bride - - - (even when shorn - - ) !
