Rachel // Things We Wear
Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm the woman behind Things We Wear- a blog about the clothing and the many complicating factors that surround it- like how to shop ethically, how to take care of your clothing, how to understand fit and how to buy clothes that fit and flatter your body.
During the day I'm a professional patternmaker & technical designer, focusing on apparel made in the USA (please shop locally if you can to support your local economy!). At night I enjoy sewing projects, reorganizing my closet and a constant supply of the Office.
