    I don’t necessarily think you’re point is even wrong, but please know “it’s a difference between what women think they want and what they actually want” is so unbelievably condescending. Perhaps focus more on the difficulties of tailoring and less on deciding for women how they feel?

      As a third party to the discussion, I don’t think “women” is the key part of it. “Buyers” would do the same, but since we’re discussion womens’ clothes, it was changed to “women”.

      Whenever anything bad is discussed and the word “women” is around, alarms go off too easily.

      That’s a fair point, I could’ve said that in a less condescending way, but “customers don’t know what they want” is an important piece of the puzzle here.
