Why is it only women's clothes that have back fastenings?
It seems to me that only women's clothes have back fastenings/zips: bras, some skirts and dresses, some swimsuits. Except for a few specialized clothes like wetsuits, I don't know of any male clothes that have back fastenings. Why is this? Why is it only women who have to deal with back fastenings? Surely they are a lot less convenient than front fastenings? Are there any "everyday" male clothes that fasten at the back? Someone said that women don't have back fastenings on shirts and pants. I have pants with a back zip and one of my friends has a blouse that buttons up the back.

How do you have an order of clothing made from your own design?
I am 15 and i am trying to have some of my fashion designs made for samples and for products to sell to a retailer here--like Hottopic or an alternative clothing store. What are the steps to have this done, and who would i consult to have t-shirts made, or other specialized clothing like Gothic Lolita or Punk? Who would i contact to have a mass shipment of , say, 50 copies of a design (or in bulk), and for them to sell it to me before mark-up value? thankyou
