hi-low hems for womens shirts - WTF? [View all]

ya know, when you already cause that to happen because of your...erm..."front end" and they make it even worse by making the hem shorter in the front and longer in the back it really does NOT help.

do women with flat chests and large asses have to deal with shirts that are short in the back and long in front?
