<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9553203, member: 79705"]I had not heard that before! But can I tell you how many people I've had to quietly let know that their coat's vent is not supposed to still be tacked shut. Or how many thifted items I've discovered the pockets still stitched shut on?? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So it would not surprise me if that was the case. These threads are twisted and thicker than the tacked pieces I've seen though.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have to imagine those clothes were meant to last longer too! Any way to cut a cost on fast fashion....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie64" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for your considerate response. Tacking them down is a good thought... Especially if I find I want to wear it before I have found a suitable belt or belt fabric. We're entering the "darker" months when all my black dresses come out and a fabric like this is great for the season. I do have some plain black silk...just needs a stiffer base.
