I dislike elasticated waist bands even though I’m the age range probably aimed at. They are very uncomfortable .I’m fairly slim. I avoid them at all costs. I think it saves them cash not having to worry about zips and things.The jacket is strange. The flappy sleeves don’t go with the style and are horribly impractical. Oddly I quite like the trousers except for the full on elastic waistband. Is that now a designer feature? It reminds me of old lady crimplene with a stitched front seam. Who would tuck a top into those and hope to look good?
You are right, just look at the number of dresses around which have elastication. Much cheaper than zips & buttons.Just run the fabric through an auto machine.I dislike elasticated waist bands even though I’m the age range probably aimed at.

They can do for sure, imo it's all about the right footwear. Last night they were showing a wide legged cropped jumpsuit and the model was wearing high heels with it and it looked absolutely ridiculous, it was crying out for a pair of flat sandals or flatform trainers, even flip flops would've been better. The wrong shoes can make any outfit look horrific it's all about balance and it's got to look right.Am I the only one who thinks baggy wide crops look... well ridiculous???????
I'm not keen on baggy trousers (Madness) or Palazzo pants anyway.
I also noticed the jacket pulling across the chest of the size 18 model. The outfit looked almost OK on Tiff, but wretched on the BA, who has finally ditched her clinging size 12 for a 14. It doesn't do a lot to help her though.I saw this last night, again is it the fit of the jacket? On one model it was very strained across the bust yet all that fabric in the back.The dipped hemline and poking out at the front, large pockets.I think you would be very lucky if this looked good on you and felt comfortable?With that probably a sell out.
