Indigo Moon jacket over velvet 'dress'. Selfie photo by Angela Lansbury. Velvet dress from a long skirt. Selfie photo by Angela Lansbury. Unlabelled Vintage Skirt This skirt is warm in winter, with a wonderful, cheerful, colourful pattern. Colourful yet subtle. It has a velvet effect with pink, and turquoise blue, stylised leaf and flower patterns, on a black background. No label nor washing instructions. I don't usually remove labels. When Do I Remove Labels? Labels which are sewn only across the top can hang outside the garment, untidily. I modify or remove labels if they are scratchy. Sharp edges to labels are caused by heat sealing labels. Then I would cut off the label edges. First I snap the corners. Still scratchy? I might have to cut along the edge. But that is untidy and frays the label. Is it easy to remove without damage? Re-attaching labels I don't want labels scratching my neck. Maybe pin or sew the label back on at the waist...
