A lot of clothing (especially undergarments) these days is going tagless. Instead of a large itchy tag sewn into the neck or waist, information is simply printed directly onto the fabric. I for one think this trend is awesome and I want to help it catch on further. It is simply awful when you are fidgeting all day or night with a tag that is causing an itch right in the small of your back where you can’t reach. A bad tag can really ruin what is an otherwise wonderful item of clothing. Personally, I am not even all that careful with my clothes and tend not to bother looking at the care instructions on a tag rendering these tags essentially useless for me. I’ve tried cutting the tags out of some garments but that always leaves a small little strip that still itches like mad. I’ve also tried getting rid of the tag in its entirety by carefully undoing the stitching but more often than not I just end up with holes in my clothes. Why sew the tag into the important seams of the garment? That’s like creating something that self-destructs when you pull out a component. This is a blouse we’re talking about – not a bomb.
I understand that not every garment is designed in such a way as to make printing possible. Sometimes a tag is still necessary. Plus the thought of printing information directly onto expensive fabric is a little worrisome. But an effort can still be made to use tags that are smaller, made out of better material, and placed in better locations. At the very least you should be able to remove them without ruining the garment. Bottom line – I want more clothing to be tagless, especially the clothing that covers your bottom.
Clothing manufacturers are strongly encouraged to make their garments tagless. If this is not possible, manufacturers must use tags that are removable and made from a smooth and soft material.
A comfortable queen is a happy queen. Remember that.
As always I remain your all-powerful and benevolent Queen of the World,
