Dear pocket dress designers,
Thank you. Because of you, the world is a better place. That little bit of extra fabric you attach to the inside of a dress makes those dresses ten times better. When that dress is both cute and on sale -- bet your bottom dollar, I'm buying it.
While I don't consider myself a feminist, I do think there is one thing about being a girl that is unfair -- pocket sizes. Ask any girl on the street about her pockets, and she will tell you that they're not big enough. Heck, they might even be fake or decorative! They might not even be meant to hold things! What kind of trash pockets are those? Designers simply don't understand the need us ladies have for pockets.
But you do. You understand the struggle women face on a daily basis. Where do our phones go? Where are we supposed to put a tampon when going to the restroom? It's simple, in our pockets. Unless, of course, the designer has deemed themselves too fancy to put in functional pockets in their dang pants, if there's any pockets at all. Ugh, it's so annoying! But you understand. You know that pocket dresses are not only far more amazing than dresses without pockets, but you know these dresses have pockets that are functional!
The fact that my phone fits into my dress pocket better than my jeans pocket says something about the female fashion industry -- it's screwed up. I'm not asking for much here; I'm just asking for a place to put my belongings and my hands. Let's face it, you instantly look cooler with your hands in your pockets, and pocket dresses make this possible.
On the note of decorative pockets, can those not be a thing anymore? If you're going to put pockets on a dress (or pants, for that matter), then gosh darn it, they should be functional! I don't care about the fancy buttons, I want to be able to put my hands in them without looking stupid.
Pocket dress designers, thank you because you make life a little better. You make it possible for women to look put together and have the ability to stick stuff in their pockets -- it's the best of both worlds! Because of you, I get endless compliments when other women notice my already fabulous dress has pockets. The person who decided to hide pockets in the pleats of dresses -- it was genius, pure brilliance. They deserve some sort of award! Then they can stick that award in the pocket that is strategically hidden in the pleats of their dress.
Thank you for making life a little better, dresses a little more fun to wear, and functional pockets a little easier to come by.
Your forever fan,
A pocket dress lover
