Please do, it was the only thing wrong with the pictures, that we couldn't

Hi--
I was a designer / patternmaker and technical designer in the garment
industry for 24 years. Do not blame the manufacturer (the people who
actually sew the garment) for the wording of care labels. Very often the

The setting is just aweson. It looks like so much funif you get
time, could you link the pictures to their larger form? There are some

man's pony-tail in the picture: last column, second row. Is it wrapped
in ribbon?
For whatever reason, it doesn't cause any discomfort. It is a very
comfortable brait does cause an odd shape for the modern taste though!
