    I have issue with Poells tapeseam tanktop. Iirc it's made out of ramie so I don't know exactly how that material works, BUT;

    I've tried and wash it the whole summer after getting a small stain. But everything just keeps getting worse. The water seems to create brown lines after it have dried. They go away if I wash them, but then new lines appear.

    Haven't been able to wear the damn thing all summer cause of this.

      water will leave stains on some fabrics, usually on the edge of the area which has been wet. one solution is to rinse the whole shirt, I can't say for sure if it would help in your case though.

        Yeah, figured it had to be something like that, but never seen it on garments. Might have to try that, maybe a delicate 30-wash in the machine (afraid of the tape). Some good ideas about a faster more even drying would be appreciated.

        Have both hung and laid flat on a towel.

            Couldn't harm at least!

            Maybe it could be a reaction on left over detergent?

              Do you know if it can be easily fixed and strengthened by a tailor, without too much aesthetic damages ?

              Thanks.
              I had almost exactly the same thing happen to a pair of Ann trousers in a similar fabric, but it was after a few hundred wears so I cant really complain.

              Anyway here are some pictures of the repair I had done:



              Reinforced on the inside to prevent it from happening again (this is why you see the half circle stitching on the outside):

              Small question of my own. Tried the long version of these:

              Wondering if I could save some money with the cropped/shorter version. I'm 180cm, will they still look cropped on me?

                  quick question, if i wear a size 30 usually and want to buy rad hourani zip jeans in a 28 do you think that'd work out? do they have any give to them or do you think it'd be too much of a stretch(pardon the pun)?

                    Of course, they will. And you can even hem them if you think they're too long.

                      Sorry, I worded my post a little badly. I actually want the longer version, but the cropped ones are a little cheaper so I was wondering if they'd be long enough anyway.

                        if you want my opinion get a 30 cause rad is always made very tight, yes they are stretch but theyre also very skinny

                          ^^yep. the rise is low and they fit really tight. you'll be ok
                          edit: if you're looking to buy the ones with the zips on the knees, you should ask for the measurements/where are the zips placed. I've seen people with the zippers on their tights.. didn't looked right.

                                On another note, has any bought anything from DRESSSPACE? They have Nicolo and Lumen at nice prices.
