Vest tops don't really need to last, they're cheap as chips, are often worn as an undergarment and of course as a summer staple, they get sweaty, splashed with deodorant, suncream etc and go through a lot more laundering. I have been lucky in finding a few that can take that degree of wash and wear, my Next ones are a fine example. Scruffy ones are fine for winter layering, or even dusters. No way should they ever be treated as "investment pieces"
I wonder how long it'll take RL to get into the underwear/shapewear market? I can see her now stroking the anti-bacterial gusset of "her" beautiful knickers that she's created for us!!!!! In response of course to the many viewers who have begged her to produce underwear that doesn't roll down, ride up, or make your belly stick out. If there's not an anecdote about her mother telling her that you need to wear a decent pair of knickers in case you get run over, I'll be very surprised!!!! Oooh, and dreaded VPL -there'll be none of that with Ruthie's pants oh no, only you (and your bank balance) will know you're wearing them!
