will you please cut the tags out of your sheer blouse and crocheted jacket?

will you please cut the tags out of your sheer blouse and crocheted
jacket?
i can see it clearly from behind you, and so can everyone else!
that blouse is black!
why did you see fit to leave that giant, gleaming, white tag attached
to the side seam?
did you think it was part of the design??
if you're not clever enuf to cut it out yourself, a tailor will be
happy to do it for seven dollars.
through your sheer blouse i can also see the tag on the back of your
brassiere, darling.
and can't you cut the tag off that thong?
it says "jockey for women" – not "la perla".
what are you afraid of?
cut the bulky, square tags out the neck of your husband's lacostes,
while you're at it.
i don't want to see that shit – and i know you wouldn't either, if you
would only stop and think about it for one second.
hold still and i'll rip it out, real quick.
don't argue with me!

You failed to mention those small crocheted loops which are meant to
hold the self–belt to a dress ONLY prior to purchase. Talk about
ruining a look....
You can see the tag on a bra? Where did you get the x–ray vision?

Val,
I never thought those loops were supposed to be removed. I thought they
were there to keep the belt from migrating away from the waistline of the
dress.
As for the other complaints: while I agree that those things are unsightly,
the manufacturers are at least partly to blame. They often sew in the tags
in such a way that you can ruin a garment when you try to remove them. It
drive me crazy! Especially when the tag is scratchy. Even more especially
when the tag is too uncomfortable or unsightly to leave in place but when
you remove it you lose the washing instructions.
BTW, what about scarves? What are we supposed to do about the tags? They
contain important information (fabric content, designer, cleaning
instructions) but they are really ugly––AND they are sewn into the rolled
edges. What do people do about that?

and how about the vents on skirts and coats –– the stitches are supposed to
be removed after purchase. (it's easier to walk when the stitches aren't
there!)
and those labels in bras ... they're usually prickly; remove them and you
don't know size anymore.

I wish I could change my font to answer this with a very large: I
AGREE. Wish they could come up with some alternative to the tag
placement. I have tried to remove and have left large stitch holes in
garments after removal that were very noticeable.

I got a Gap t–shirt recently in which the "tag" was printed on the fabric.
I think someone is doing that with underwear now, too––Hanes or Fruit of the
Loom...
Wall St. Journal did an article on this issue a number of years ago. A
number of a.f.ers were quoted.

I have ruined garments trying so carefully to snip out a tag that
scratches my neck. A lot of retailers like Diesel sew the tag near the
bottom corner of a side seam. You really need the washing instructions
since so many of their fabrics can't simply be tossed in a machine and
instructions are printed in several languages.
Bra tags are usually in the back if there is a back closure and they are
impossible to see through any garment unless as noted, the viewer has x
ray vision.
At the thrift store we have a problem determining sizes when people have
taken out the tags but by the time a garment gets to us, it has usually
had many wearings.

If sewn with that plastic 'fishing line' thread, look out for something
stickin' you all day.

Most of the kids underwear these days does this. Including baby onesies.
What took them so long!

take it to a tailor if you can't remove it safely.
if you buy it at nordstrom, you can probably shame them into doing it
for free.

they flip up all the time and are visible under t–shirts and sheer
blouses.
cut it off, mary!

If you cut it off, you won't know what size it is or who made it or the
style number.

Now that is MY pet peeve when it comes to scratchy tags. I had to get out
the seam ripper and remove (verrrry carefully) the inside tags for all my
pairs of Levis 550 jeans, because they were sewn on with this very product.
Why do they do that?

If the wearer has any sort of waistline, I imagine the belt, if snugly
worn, will not migrate too far.

if you can't remember that sh*t, write it down or file it on your
blackberry.
if you are psychologically unable (!) to remove it, then have the tag
sewn flush against the bra strap.
i don't want to see it sticking up in the back thru your sheer blouse.
it looks crazy and cheap.
quit making excuses!

We're seeing more and more garments with printed tags. Tags are
unsightly and uncomfortable! My brother recently rented a tux for a
wedding and the shirt tag was poking him so much that my aunt, a nurse,
stuck a band–aid over it!

I think you're just jealous.
(Seriously, we got your point. Time to move on.)

How about that! I always thought they were supposed to stay also.
However, when you think about it, the loops are so loose that they
don't really hold the belt in place, your waist does. Now, I think it
makes perfect sense to remove them. At home, of course, you can always
hang the belt on the hook of the hanger so i falls down the front of
the dress.
