Yor are wearing a tight outfit, on your way to work. But you are so caught on making it to the office in time that you don’t notice the raised lip of the pavement ahead. The tip of your shoe does not fail to catch on it though. That moment of panic, when all of your senses sharpen but the world becomes a blur. You wait to hear the sound of seams bursting apart, of buttons jumping to the ground.
But then, you remember that you’ve prepared for this exact situation. Your skirt, though fitted in appearance, has stretch panels built in to account for movement. You are wearing a sweater that also expands and contracts with your body. At most you’ll just have to dust off your knees. Aha, you think.
