Wide-legged and flowing, they are causing a storm on social media, with people posting videos of the fabric getting caught in escalators and causing painful trips
Seriously. I’m a man but my mother and grandmother decided to teach me to sow as a kid for reasons they never explained in life. The first thing I thought was that this is just a skirt with extra seams, act accordingly. The second was that these women aren’t getting their clothes fitted and hemmed, as one should always do.
I am saddened by the steep decrease in sewing machine quality. I wish I had kept my mother’s and grandmother’s Singers after they passed. Built to last multiple lifetimes without snapping a thread or missing a stitch.

Basic sewing is such an important skill! Everyone should at least know how to sew a hem and replace a button.

Keep an eye out for used machines. There’s plenty out there.
Same here, my mother had one of those Singer machines that folded down into a desk when it was not in use. Beautiful piece of equipment!
