| The History of Women's Terrible Pockets - Outside Posted: 13 Nov 2019 01:48 AM PST  Everyone who wears women's clothing knows: our pockets suck. If you've ever tried to stash your phone while hiking or running, chances are you've been more than slightly annoyed with the lack of real estate that our pants, shorts, and dresses generally afford. Even the most functional pants—those that advertise hip and thigh cargo pockets and hidden zippered compartments—typically fail to comfortably provide the kind of pocket space that comes standard on men's clothing. For a while, I thought things were getting better. When I started writing about outdoor gear as a trade-news editor in 2015, I was introduced to hiking pants, and casual, stretchy slacks with (somewhat) fashionable cargo pockets, and hiking skirts and dresses that could store a Kindle. It seemed like pockets were trending toward bigger—or at least toward existing. But then I dug into the history of how we got to where we are today. And I was shocked. Not only did women's pockets start out much bigger than they are now, they also started out more spacious than what men's clothing had to offer. So where did things go wrong? How did our hiking, climbing, and biking apparel end up with such subpar storage? I called Ariane Fennetaux, who coauthored The Pocket: A Hidden History of Women's Lives, 1660–1900 with Barbara Burman. As it turns out, storage previously wasn't sewn into clothing; women would wear pockets on a belt around their waist, usually beneath their skirts—sort of like a stealth fanny pack. They would access these pockets (which were often made in pairs, much like we have two hip pockets today) through slits in the outer layer of their dress. "There are lots of complaints today about women's pockets being inferior, but there were no complaints when women had those pockets," Fennetaux says. These pockets were huge; they were often large enough to carry snacks like oranges and apples. They were also beautiful and personalized with embroidery and embellishments, much like purses are today. Women would make their own pockets or make them as gifts to give to friends. And each woman had her own system for organizing small items inside her pockets. In the beginning of the book, the authors share a 1725 classified ad from a London newspaper that offers a reward for the return of a pair of lost or stolen pockets. They contained the following items: a silver purse, a pair of gloves, a ring, a toothpick case, a handkerchief, a key, and a thimble. Over time women's pockets changed with evolving fashion. As dresses became more formfitting, it became harder to conceal bulky pockets underneath them. Toward the end of the 1700s, women's storage options shifted from pockets to reticules or small purses. This is because pockets would ruin the silhouette of the dress, according to the Victoria and Albert Museum, an art and design museum in London. By the 19th century, women's clothing had started to integrate pockets that were built into their garments, much like today. The Workman's Guide, published in 1838, contained sewing patterns for on-seam pockets. But while integrated pockets on men's apparel were perfected, according to Vox, dressmakers put them in weird, impractical places, like near the hem of the skirt. Pockets became almost politicized, as some women fought for "pocket equality" while fashion trends pushed reticules and purses. Pants pockets ultimately suffered the same fate: when women started wearing pants more regularly, around World War II, the focus was initially on their function, so pockets were large and practical. But again, as fashion evolved and designs slimmed, pockets messed with the silhouettes and started to shrink and disappear. Today, even in the outdoor industry, where apparel tends to trend more toward function than fashion, I have a difficult time finding decent pants pockets. When I hike and backpack, I usually have to store my phone in the water-bottle pouch on my pack to avoid creating a sweaty patch on my thigh or an uncomfortable bulge at my hip crease. Even my most comfortable hiking pants just don't feel as good when I have things in the pockets—they're either too tight or too loose, so objects bang against or dig into my legs while walking. The best outdoor-industry pants pockets I've found so far are from Boulder Denim, which makes jeans for outdoorsy people. The company has done a solid job of outfitting its women's line with front storage big enough to hold a smartphone—a feat I've yet to see elsewhere. Founder Bradley Spence says he wasn't aware that women's pants pockets were so terrible until he started the company. Originally, he was planning to make only men's jeans, but friends and partners of the founding crew urged them to tackle a women's line that would finally allow storage for more than a single tube of ChapStick. Spence thinks it's possible other companies fail in this realm because they're afraid jeans won't look good with the bulges pockets can create. But to Boulder Denim, that wasn't a good enough reason not to try. "I don't know exactly why other brands don't do it, but it was so easy for us to include pockets, it didn't make sense for us not to," he says. To create them, the company pulled together popular designer women's jeans and studied the way the legs were stitched. It combined its favorite features into its own style, and improved upon them by making the pockets larger. Because they're a bit more formfitting, the pockets on Boulder Denim's women's jeans are slightly tighter than the men's version, so it's not quite as easy to slide your hand inside. But they're still significantly larger and more functional than any other pair of women's jeans I've ever worn. Guinevere Ganzel, senior women's designer for Toad&Co—whose dresses have amazing, deep pockets that fit phones, passports, and more—and Karenina Gonzalez, a women's and kids' designer for United By Blue, which also prioritizes storage on its women's apparel, think there's hope that pockets will only further evolve for the better in the near future. "Pockets have changed because phones have changed," Gonzalez says. "We didn't have cell phones back in the day, so we didn't have to put them anywhere. Now I have to think about phones [when designing apparel]." Ganzel says Toad&Co found that women are stoked to find pockets in their clothing, so it's been important for the company to prioritize storage when designing apparel. Fennetaux says it's unclear exactly why women's pockets have suffered this fate, but there are a few theories: conspiracies, for example, to force women to buy handbags or rely on men to carry their things; the impracticality of wearing pockets with slimmer fashions; and the aforementioned unsightliness of bulges that pockets create. Perhaps it's some combination of all of these things, Fennetaux suggests. But one thing is sure—pockets are in the spotlight now. "There's definitely more of an awareness, and almost a political demand for pocket equality, on social media," she says, citing an example of the dresses worn at the recent Oscars, in which women posed for photos "with a hand conspicuously in their pocket." Ganzel's take on why they're not standard for most clothing is that sometimes a pocket will change the shape of an outfit in a way that makes it unattractive and therefore undesirable to buy. "With so many bottoms being skinny silhouettes, pockets create bumps and can hinder a good-looking pant in many cases," she says. This is why some companies will add what she calls a "focket," or fake pocket, where it only appears as though storage exists. Thankfully, that trend seems to be on the way out. "I think people are fed up with having things that don't function at all," Ganzel says. Indeed we are. I'm just one person reviewing gear and apparel, but I've started asking about pocket functionality when I accept products for review. I turn down a lot of clothing without them. If you're an outdoor-industry designer reading this, hear our pleas: We want our clothes to help us go hands-free when we play outside. If it can't fit a phone, you can do better.

| Teen seeks to eliminate barrier of dresses from high school girls going to prom - Statesman Journal Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:00 PM PST CLOSE  For many high school girls, going to their first prom can be a scary proposition. Mikayla Wood knew few people when she went to her first prom as a freshman and wasn't sure what to expect. She enjoyed the experience and has at subsequent proms, but she noticed what she describes as an unusually small percentage of girls at the event. When Wood asked other girls why they haven't gone to proms, she received reasons such as they couldn't afford a formal dress or they didn't know how to get one. "And I thought, 'Why not help girls go to prom and provide them a dress,' " said Wood, a senior from Scio who attends Oregon Connections Academy. "I just really want to have an impact and hopefully see more girls getting to have that special moment that they deserve." Wood put her experience to use in creating the BeYOUtiful Prom Dress Giveaway 2020, an event where any girl with a high school ID will receive a formal dress for free April 4, 2020 at the Event Center at the West Salem Roth's Fresh Market. Wood said she has learned from her time competing in pageants that finding a dress is often the key component in helping a young girl feel confident. "Got to look good and feel good," said Kara Richards, owner of The Shabby Chic Bride consignment shop in Salem, one of several businesses supporting Wood's cause. "It's more of a feeling, especially girls, we have an emotional tie to these things." From being judged to being judgedWood said she was bullied while attending Scio Middle School, which was why she enrolled in an online school. She felt judged by other students for the clothes she wore and how she carried herself. But when she competes in pageants – such as the Miss Teen International last year – she makes the conscious decision to be judged. "I'm literally giving them 100 percent control and flat out saying, 'Judge me, go for it,'" Wood said. "And actually having the confidence now to go out on stage and do that and be a role model for younger girls I prove that they don't have to be held back by what everyone says that they can't do." In her time in student government at Oregon Connections Academy – she is now the student body president – she has made strides to include others. "When we have events for student government, she's very social," said Nikki Coleman, the high school elective teacher and student government adviser for ORCA. "She's always wanting to make people feel comfortable and not left out. I think it just comes from a place of being left out." Though Wood competes in pageants, she said choosing a formal dress isn't a task she enjoys. But she also realizes she can use her knowledge in that area – and her energy – to eliminate that obstacle for other girls. "Especially at this event, she's an up and coming example of a woman of giving back and doing more than just a pageant and it's more than just that. I love that," Richards said. Collecting 62 dresses in a monthWood first brought the idea to Coleman with the idea of it being an event for students at Oregon Connections Academy – an online public charter school headquartered in Mill City – but she quickly realized she could have a larger impact. "She didn't want there to be any limitations," Coleman said. "That's when she decided to make it for everybody." Less than a month after coming up with the idea for the dress giveaway, Wood already had collected 62. She's networked and made dozens of trips to people's houses and businesses to collect dresses, and her family's guest bedroom is packed with them. In many cases, she's found women had formal dresses sitting in their closets or attics that they want to give new life to. "I've just had a lot of willingness to really want it to be used and not just sitting around," Wood said. She has arranged for drop-off locations including Chasing Fireflies Salon in Stayton and The Beautiful Bride and Burlap & Lace in Corvallis. She said she will be accepting donations up to the week before the April event. To donate a dress, contact Wood at beyoutifuldressgiveaway2020@gmail.com. Along with racks of dresses, there will be pop-up dressing rooms for girls to try on the dresses, tables of accessories and a seamstress on hand to help alter dresses at the April 4 event. She's planning a follow-up hair and makeup day on May 2 at Divine Complexions in Wilsonville with volunteers who want to donate their time and services. Wood has seen the myriad hurdles girls like her can face, but she is trying to make things better for others. "I feel like girls should be able to have their special night and just feel good in what their wearing and be confident," Wood said. "That's where their confidence is really going to come from and I want to help them reach that."
