Description

This is part two of our conversation with Meredith, a technical designer and all around expert on fit and sizing.  There's still so much to discuss:  fit models (it's a real job and it's hard work), how a garment is fitted, and WTF is a tech pack?  Also, how retailers and designers use customer reviews to make decisions.   And of course, we are going to talk about how the industry as a whole is totally missing the mark on extended sizing.   Did you know that only 8% of brands offer extended sizing?  Meanwhile 67% of US women buy plus size clothing! Also:  Amanda ruins faux fur for everyone.  Guess what?  Faux fur is plastic.  And it sheds microplastics kinda constantly.  WOMP WOMP.  Do you have some feedback?  An episode idea?  Do YOU want to be a guest on Clotheshorse?  Drop us a line at clothehorsepodcast@gmail.com.  Or DM via instagram @clotheshorsepodcast. If you can’t get enough of podcasts, check out our sister show, The Department.  I co-host with my friend Kim.   This week we are talking about single use plastic and the brands and products that are leading our march away from it. If you’re a conscious consumer, you’ll love this one!
