A Better Fit For Online Fashions
from the clothing-shopping-online dept
I'll admit that I never thought clothing would be a huge seller online. It just seemed too difficult to figure out if something really fit, or if it really looked the way it did in the picture. It seems I underestimated the group that does most clothing shopping: women. Now that the majority of online shoppers are women, online clothing shopping has become big business. While there clearly were some false starts, it seems that shopping for clothing online is here to stay.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

When will 3rd world makers sell directly?
What if all those sweatshops in 4th-world countries start selling directly? We could start having deals like "100 T-shirts for $10". We could create a culture of disposable clothes, where clothes are something you throw in the trash after a day.

Re: When will 3rd world makers sell directly?
Future generations would wonder how we could stand to wear old clothes -- the notion of washing underwear and wearing it again would be a gross-out to them.
Fifty years ago, many people still lived in farms where the toilet served a dual purpose as a chicken feeder. If you weren't careful, the chicken might peck your butt while you were shitting.
