LABELS ARE A PAIN IN THE NECK

Are there any other readers who are like me and hate those scratchy, irritating labels that manufacturers sew into the necks of garments?

I’m never attracted to a dress or top because of a label and nine times out of 10 I’ll unpick the stitching (carefully so as not to harm the garment) and remove the label. Why? Because the label is stitched with prickly nylon or gold thread that irritates my neck terribly. Once the label is ironed, the nylon thread hardens and it causes even more itchiness.

Manufacturers should use soft cotton to sew their labels on, or place the labels in the side seams where they won’t rub and scratch the wearer. Gently does it! GAIL, EMAIL
