billion billion-a-year industry. fashion editors say most of those dresses are sleeveless. >> i think that the problem with there not being enough long-sleeved dresses out there have gotten progressively worse. fabrics have gotten more expensive so designers are not as invested in buying this stuff so we're seeing they're chopping the sleeves off. >> i don't know why people call this a problem because i don't find it a problem. >> reporter: designer nicole miller whose empire brings in $600 million in sales says she is listening. >> i feel like i accommodate my customers and during the winter we make lots of sleeves. >> reporter: but miller admits there's a limit to what she's willing to put sleeves on. >> i think it's really hard to design an evening dress with sleeves r she's firm with designers unwilling to collaborate. so you threaten them.
8:24 am
>> i show them my big smile. but it is a logic. it is a business. and they're designing to fill, not keep it in the archives. i buy it not to keep it in the stock room but to sell it to a customer and hopefully make the woman as pretty as she can be. >> fall fashion week in new york is less than one moment away and designers are promising us there will be more sleeved options for next year, but, listen we'll see. >> hooray. i want sleeves. >> i do too. it's cold outside and not everyone has michelle obama arms. there's a lot of reasons. >> they also have this thing, guys called a coat. >> and ruin your whole look? >> it's okay. i'm with nicole miller. you can get both. gigi, good to see you on "cbs this morning." is google saying good-bye to glass? cnet's dan ackerman is in our toyota green room. he'll show you why the
