My shirt

The shirt I choose to disassemble and study was  emerald green in colour (more of a blouse) it was an empire line in shape and the brand was H&M.

H&M are a successfully high street brand still operating today.

I discovered the fabric was 100% polyester the seams were basic top stitch then over locked on the edges.

The cuffs had a diamante button and sleeves were elbow length.

The thread used in production is cotton/polyester I suspect the garment was mass produced and was most likely a reasonable profitable item in the store.
