What the label in your side seam is required to tell you
Two federal rules govern the label sewn into your side seam. What they require, what they leave out, and how to read one before the garment goes in the machine.
The journal
Darong journal
Three pieces on the things that decide whether a knit top works: what the label in the seam has to tell you, what a rib does once it has been washed, and which three measurements settle a size.
What a rib does after its first wash
Stretch and recovery are not the same property, and almost every complaint about a knit top is a complaint about the second one. The cuff test, and what it tells you.
Three numbers, taken once, and the size question stops being a guess
A letter on a label is not a measurement. Take bust, waist and hip once, and every page on this site turns into a yes or a no.
Take the measurements with you
Every size and colourway in the Darong lineup sits behind this button.
