Baby Clothing Designers

I would like to know what kind of degree, if any, one needs to design baby clothes. Now I understand all babies are different and they need different sizes and shapes but lets be real, some of the people making these clothes are completely clueless.
This is one that totally frustrates me. It is made for the longest skinniest baby ever. It fits Matthew's 8 lb torso and the arm holes are little enough to keep his tiny hands in but it is about 4 inches too long in the body and the legs are long enough for a two year old.
See, his foot should be sticking out the end of the green piece. Even rolled up his feet don't come out.

And then there is this one. You can see that it is wide enough in the body to fit at least one more baby but the neck was so tight I could hardly get it done up. Oh and speaking of done up, this sleeper has eight real button buttons (extremely difficult to handle on an infant) and 12 snaps at the legs. Seriously who has time to do up all these fasteners when your baby is screaming bloody murder because its 10 minutes past eating time!!
