At a garments factory—which is definitely one of the coolest experiences in Bangladesh since Bangladesh’s largest export commodity is ready mady garments. In fact many of the household name clothing brands have clothes made in Bangladesh—these are the people making your clothes. - Uploaded with a demo version of FlickrExport 2.

The textile and clothing industries provide the single source of growth in Bangladesh's rapidly developing economy.

All the garments I made in 2014. (I like seeing them all together!) Unfortunately 2014 was much less productive than 2013 in the sewing department. I ended up with 8 pieces only. Hopefully 2015 will be an improvement! :)

 

TOP ROW (L-R):

1. Alabama Chanin fitted top in floral print cotton/lycra with underbust band

 

2. Alabama Chanin grey babydoll dress, based on fitted top pattern, embellished with three rows of self-fabric embroidered stripes

 

3. Alabama Chanin burgundy cami, embellished with strips of plum fabric shaped into sort of roses with a few beads

 

BOTTOM ROW (L-R):

1. Wine cotton/linen long skirt with a pleated ruffle and curved tucks giving shape to the lower half

 

2. 3 pairs of capri leggings

 

3. grey/black striped half-circle skirt with a few tucks for shape, in a rayon blend knit that pills like crazy :(

The airport was some way off, and on the way, we had to stop for this large crowd of garment factory workers heading home at the end of their shift. Being Saturday, they work only till 4, my taxi driver informed me. There was an entire army of them the previous day, and had emerged from three or four factories all at one place. But a bumpy unsealed road, plus dust, plus reflections on the glass meant I couldn't shoot them the previous day. This crowd is not as large, but then, you get the idea.

From Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac, September chapter, "Nether Garments".

Knit circa 1993-1994.

 

"...even the shy housewife likes to slip them on under her slacks to go to the store on exceptionally cold days. I have been known to pull them on under a housedress, add boots, my warm coat, and woolly cap and mittens, and trot comfortably to the A&P, looking (almost) like everybody else." - EZ

 

Holes in the left leg and ankle despite hardly ever being worn. (Moths?)

Now what? Darn the holes, or cut them off above the knees for knicker length longies to be worn under a skirt?

 

Blogged.

Raveled.

The Fashion District Information center. This is interesting because of the giant needle and button which you see here... Inside the kiosk, the information counter is actually shaped like a spool of thread.

 

Once the textile capitol of the U.S. and still considered the fashion designer capitol of the country, the Garment District is a one square mile section of Manhattan between 5th and 9th Avenues. It is home to designers such as Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, and Calvin Klein. It is also one of many major cities to have a Fashion Week.
