Up until this point in my life, I've been self-employed and worked from home in my basement. I wear comfy T-shirts and pants that I got on sale for 94 cents from the clearance rack at Superstore. I have one custom tailored suit that I got for $200 when I was in Thailand many years ago.

With the new "professional" job, I now need to wear suits every day, and the shopping process has been a nightmare! I can see why women have trouble with equality in the workforce - they don't have outfits that let them be taken seriously. I cite the following examples:
-Women's suit jackets often don't have buttons. Seriously. When was the last time you saw a men's suit jacket without a button? It just looks sloppy to walk around with an unbuttoned jacket.
-Women's suit pants don't have pockets. I guess it's something to do with the fit, but surely there's a way to make pants fit well and still include pockets?!?!
-Women's shirts and jackets generally aren't designed for gals with chests. (With one exception - Ricki's had a shirt with a hidden snap to keep the chest buttons tight. Someone should get a Nobel prize for that invention.)
What I really want is a man's suit with curves. Does such a mythical item exist? Is there some secret suit store for ladies that I don't know about? I can't wait until 3-D clothing machines solve this problem! :neglected:
