I wish for different clothing than i have, but, oy, my patience is thin and my standards kinda high.

A friend was sadly noting her white denim jacket was not being rescued by bleach and i mentioned dying it. That had me looking at dyes briefly and i returned to Dharma Trading Company. I hadn't remembered that they had clothing blanks.

On one hand, i'm excited: there are made in USA bra-like items and other things ([livejournal.com profile] kibbles -- they have scrubs!), and then there's this dye kit:

And they have dyeable yarns:

So, i have a fantasy of looking at coming color trends, blending colors and making a few top sets that will be fresh for work. On the other hand, the sizing varies item to item and while there's an attempt to clarify fabrics and such, i find myself wondering about the weigh and quality and so on.

I wish they had tunics. I also wish they had more flat cotton made in USA items.
