Actually, there's a lot larger markup on womans' clothing than mens'--200%. That's why they're able to give you incredible sales (like in department stores, they take off 40%, then with a coupon, another 20%--seems like you're getting it for just about nothing)Also, I said this previously in another post; you can wear pajamas or a nightgown in your front yard IF, you wear accessories--just put on a necklace, bracelet, earrings, etc. At least that's the rule in my neighborhood. :-)
Take care,
