It's as if people forget that there are actual people sewing up those garments they buy in the shops. Those seams are finished (often poorly) and the people making them don't care how well it fits or hangs or how well it's sewn so the garment lasts a long time.

Ha, my sister and I are known for saying "Well, what do you expect from an underpaid 8 year old?" One of my mom's friends said we were being mean.

And the people sewing those clothes don't really have time to finish anything well. It's very much an assembly line, with a lot of very underpaid workers. I'm wondering how many folks watched "China Blue." I would have thought that once that film was released, more folks would be aware of the foreign sweatshops where their clothes are made.
