I think it's more mass production and lack of emphasis on quality combined with a complete loss of skills. I think that's the problem with people's diets, too.
It is hard work to create something that's well-made. It cuts down the profits at the top. Therefore, cheaper clothing.
Loss of skills means that people don't know how to fit clothes, they don't know that their clothes don't fit, and they wouldn't know how to fix it if they did. I think the nation as a whole is somewhat depressed (emotionally, not financially) and aimless, and it doesn't really realize how it looks.
