My first long-sleeved top

My first #dressedlecolmontant in organic jersey fabric. I graded sizes between waist and hips and it’s the best fitting t-shirt I’ve ever owned 😍

About 6 years ago I saw the documentary “China Blue”, and what I saw made me so profoundly sad that I stopped buying clothes completely for about 2 years. Since then I’ve only allowed myself to replace underwear, socks and a few items of technical clothing (eg. exercise and motorcycle protective gear).

I don’t have the budget to buy ethical sustainable clothing, and thrift shops aren’t really a thing where I live, so now I’m filling the gaps with mending and making with the least harmful materials I can.
