Garment Industry Quotes

“Department stores have come out with a new size for their clothing line that fits me perfectly. The label reads, XXL-LOL!”
― James Hauenstein

“[T]he dozen or so items I wished to return to XXI Forever could only be traded in, and the store had a strict BOGO policy: Buy One, Get One (Free). This means that the 12 items I had but did not need could only be returned by trading them in for 24 different, new items; I tried, of course, to eschew that "one free" I didn't need. Not allowed. (Everyone I knew got glittery spangles as holiday gifts that year.) The garment industry, it seems, is now inventing new ways to give this stuff away.”
― Anne Elizabeth Moore, Threadbare: Clothes, Sex & Trafficking
