The Tearable Terror

Everyone, at Cheap Shapewear some point in their lives, will experience the unfortunate incident known as "Tag Tearing". If you haven't yet, you are lucky. What I'm referring to is the care instructions tag sown on every garment ever made. It's there to instruct you on how to care for it when cleaning it, and also legally, to inform you where it was made and what it contains. Of course there is nothing wrong with removing it, I do it all the time, but how you remove it is what this is all about. I use to grab hold of the tag, and with considerable force tear it like a sheet of paper. Until one day I bought a shirt online at a mens underwear store. It was mesh style knit, like a sport jersey and made of cotton, an otherwise strong looking shirt. I went to tear the tag off and to my horror... I tore the collar from the shirt. I was shocked, for a second I was paralyzed. Then came anger and shouting. Later after I calmed down I realized it wasn't the shirts fault, I failed to notice it was stitched on pretty good and trying to tear it off would rip the collar off the shirt well before the tag ripped of the collar. I just learned the hard way that you don't tear off the label. The other day my brother did this to a pair of underwear I had just gave him to try. I realized that this is really an unknown problem and should try to inform others before they tear apart their garment. So below is a step by step on how to remove the label.

Examine the label Cheap Sexy Clothes . Is it sewn on separately? Is the same seam holding the garment together, as well? Is the label made of fabric or is it made of something papery?

Cut any hang-tags on a new garment with scissors. Do not yank or pull to remove them, since you could tear or stretch out the garment, or leave a hole that could grow with time. Also look carefully and remove any stickers, pins, stiffeners, and other packaging.

Cut the tag out. If the problem is that the tag dangles out and shows, simply cut the tag out with scissors, being careful not to break any loops of thread. This is also your best bet if the label shares a seam that is holding fabric together. The down side to this method is that you may leave small corners of the tag that will continue to itch, depending on the label material.

Use a seam ripper to remove the label. Carefully use the seam ripper to cut each loop of thread holding the label. Try to avoid damaging the surrounding fabric or any seams that matter to the garment.
