Dear Pants-Makers,

I write to you today on behalf of women between the ages of 22 & 45. We as a group would like to bring our existence to your attention. We have been wading through the atrocities of fabric that you like to call pants, and we take issue with not only their deplorable condition, but also with the way they fail to accommodate the majority of us.

Are you aware that most people don't look like the cast of Gossip Girl? That some people actually like pants to cover their entire bum, rather than just the one inch above their thighs? That there is no 100% positive correlation that the bigger the waist the taller the person? That perhaps there are some ladies who would like their jeans to come sans stains, holes, fading, ragged edges, glitter, rhinestones, patches, etc?

And to those of you who design the petite section- Is it so hard to believe that women may be short their entire lives, not just at the end? Yet you continue to make pants suitable only for the shuffleboard courts of Florida's finest condos. There is no law that says if you are short you have to like ultra-tapered pants that start mid-ribcage and end just above the ankle. Nor do we only like pastels.

Sincerely,

Just another 10 Short
