Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth L. Cline

3.0

Listened to this as my second free Audible credit! Narrator was pleasant to listen to, but strangely monotone even when she injected emotion into her voice. Also, she pronounced "facsimile" two different ways lol. Tbh I don't know the correct way but I feel lik she should've been consistent. Occasionally, her cadence was weird; of course you have to pause in the middle of sentences to allow the listener some time to digest and the narrator some time to take a breath, but she had some unexpected pauses that actually scrambled my understanding of the sentence (for a second). The content was good, lots of numbers, but slightly redundant; there was information that was repeated a couple times with different wording, because they were in different chapters/contexts, but still.

All in all, informative and good for people interested in fashion, though out of date now. I'd be really interested to know how the author thinks the fashion industry has changed/progressed since 2012.
