Skirt with Velcro Closure
I have a skirt with a velcro closure. The velcro is in place of a zipper, and there is no button at the top of the velcro.
Unfortunately, this skirt has usability troubles. The manufacturer used a poor-quality velcro that does not have a very tight hold. Therefore, the skirt’s velcro closure opens up at the lightest sign of strain, which happens quite frequently.
I believe there are better-quality velcro strips in existence, which would have a tight enough hold to keep the skirt closed. If they had done usability testing (i.e. trying on a skirt and wearing it for a day), they might have been able to overcome this problem. Such usability tests are so simple that the skirt designer or manufacturer could have done the test on herself!
