The Wardrobe Shrink June Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the latest issue of The Wardrobe Shrink Newsletter.

Sarah Whittaker

What's New

A few days ago I sent out a press release in the UK, and have done a few radio interviews. I have also been busy this month following a press release I did here in the US. I have been talking with Southern Living, Harpers Bazaar, Costco magazine, Quick & Simple, Delta Magazine...I will tell you next month when the magazines will hit the newsstands.

The big news this month is that I have moved my Wardrobe Shrink Boutique to a new hosting company, and now all the order problems I was having are no longer! So, if you want to place an order for an e-book, now is the time to try again. The screens will all look the same, but when you place the 'submit' button, the order now goes through properly.

This month's article is about eco jeans. Rarely do we think of the consequences of our fashion choices, or about the production process involved in making a garment. Where does all the clothing dye go? What pesticides are being used to grow the fibers? Read on to find out more, and for some eco-jean picks to help you become more of an eco-fashionista.

Have a great 4th July week!

Book an internet/phone Image Consultation. Buy the E-Book - 95 page illustrated style guide.

Best Buy


C & C Tanks
These are indispensable, wash well, last forever, and come in many different colours. Their website allows you to search by colour which is great for picking the right tank to fit under your tee or dress for a smoother look. I have a capsule wardrobe of five C & C tanks in my best colours, that I can wear under different clothing. Check out the 'classics' section for the best tank for you.


Eco Jeans

When wearing your favourite jeans, what you are thinking about most is how they fit and how great you look in them. Certainly you may not be thinking about how they were made or what happens with the blue dye after it is used.  But fashion choices do have consequences and can come at a cost, a cost more that what you have paid for, especially on our environment. Recently, treehugger.com posted a picture on their website of blue dye from jeans being dumped in the Tehuacan in Mexico (known as the "heartland of Mexico's denim industry”).

According to research published on the SCP - Sustainable Cotton Project - website, conventionally grown cotton accounts for 25% of insecticides and 10% of pesticides used worldwide. It takes a third of a pound of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to grow enough cotton for one t-shirt in the U.S.  Also, in the U.S., 25% of pesticides are used in the cotton industry.   These chemicals impact our environment and all the nine top pesticides have been labeled as category I or II (the most toxic) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Industry.
