Festival Dresses
I went to Bastille days earlier today! For those of you who are not native Milwaukee, Wisconsinites, it is a festival celebrating French culture during their independence day. While walking around, I noticed tons of those jersey or cotton strapless dresses that have elastic gathers on the bodice or on the top and the waist. In that vein, I noticed that they were imported from Latin America, Thailand and India. Does anybody else think this is kind of a weird, exploiting practice? I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.

Tell me more Elena. How do you feel this is explotive?
I don't feel that importing is exploitative in and of itself. It just seems that the business of buying these dresses super cheap and selling them for more than the makers have seen in their lives is an unfair practice. It's very hard to avoid that kind of thing in this industry, sadly, even with textile production.
