Fake pockets are the dumbest invention ever.

Sewn up pockets, as mentioned by Serps in the previous comment, are even dumber, surely? Somebody actually went to all the trouble of attaching a real pocket to an item of clothing, and then made sure nobody could use said pocket.

[banjo1985]

Aren't the pockets sewn up to prevent damage during transit and so that they don't lose any shape or whatever whilst on display in the retailer of your choice? That's why pockets that have been sewn shut look like they've been sewn shut badly - you're supposed to cut it loose once you've bought it.

This, I think:

... except I've never heard any reason for it before, but this makes sense. Unsewn pockets may hang open a little, which doesn't look as elegant, so I guess that could be the line of thought behind it. And I think (because I had to translate the term from Swedish) the term is "untack". You untack the pockets. And you only need to put a knife or a scissor or one-of-those-untacking-appliances-I-can't-find-the-name-for to make it useable, after that you have a fully functional pocket, unlike the fake pockets which remain as fake as ever.

[Aedilred]

They're not just sewn shut, are they? Sometimes clothes (eg the black and white dress I tried) have real pockets but they come sewn shut for some reason.

No, they're completely fake, sadly. I did attempt to open them only to discover that they weren't really there.

Indeed, that's the reason pockets get sewn up

An unpicker. I sew sometimes.

I haven't had fake pockets before, but they sound rather irritating.
I have a couple of pouches and belts, which I suppose would be rather useful for garments lacking in the pocket department. My friend used to sew pockets into her skirts so she didn't have to carry around things or a handbag.

[Aedilred]

Pockets are incredibly useful, although I sometimes still find myself thinking I need a bag. It's fine when I have a briefcase or the like with me but that's not always appropriate. The main problems I find with items in pockets are that they bulge in an unsightly manner, and/or pull the clothes out of shape. Especially when carrying an uneven number of items or accessories I notice my jacket pulling slightly uncomfortably to one side.

I suppose tailored clothes would be designed to accommodate that sort of thing, though. At least, I'd hope so.

She was annoyed at being picked up when she was quite happy exploring and chasing after some random cat.

Thank you.

Haha, her fake photo-smile. The youngest has developed her own photo-face (because she copies everything her sister does); hers is this funny looking squint and grin.

She's not the naughty one; aside from some sassy back-chat, she's a well-behaved child. It's her younger sister who's a little engine of wanton destruction. And lately, queen of "no".
