Front and back darted shorts are elasticized towards the back with elastic entrance at rear, complete with dual inset side pockets and ascending outer leg. Top is stitched at natural waistline, and can be easily fit for shorter torsos with a small line of stitches toward the neck. Please note if you are short torso and would like a shorter top. <br />

QUOTED FROM <a href="http://www.awearworld.com">AWEAR</a><br />
96 : Vanessa Devaki Andrew<br />
Vanessa is an artist, illustrator, clothing & textile designer, community educator and reuse entrepreneur. Her reuse clothing brand Madam Chino was born in 2003, and strives to remove the vanity and social irresponsibility from fashion through creative reuse.<br />
<br />
In February 2014, Vanessa published the first Madam Chino website which seeks to overcome a problem plaguing many reuse clothing designers: lack of consistent material to provide quality products in volume. By streamlining the product source to focus on T-shirts, and accounting for their inherent variability, Madam Chino has been able to commit to constructing quality garments in multiple sizes and colors from post-consumer fibers. <br />
<br />
All of Vanessa's designs are presented inside out with graphics appearing on the interior of the garment, unless by request. In production, scraps are sorted by color, type, and size, and new designs are created to implement what scraps are most plentiful at the time, helping them to generate the least possible waste.<br />
<br />
Vanessa tells us ::<br />
"I love that our products reveal the evolution of their story. It doesn't feel right to deny that process, in humans or objects. Madam Chino products are a perfect blending of modern and post-modern aesthetics that recognize the history of an object, while at the same time beautifying, simplifying and coalescing it for longer life." <br />

<br />
T-SHIRT DRIVE Follow-Up<br />
Our T-Shirt Drive went great and we have received much new fabric to convert into garments from our local friends. This photo is about 1/3 of what we received in our 2 day drive, with many promises of follow up donations. Madam Chino is consistently taking donations of used T-Shirts in MKE, WI. Please contact madamchino@gmail.com to set up a drop-off/pick-up appt. <br />

SWEETHEART PEPLUM BUSTIER<br />
One of many new patterns, the Sweetheart Peplum Bustier is one of our favorites. Patterned from scratch, we do several tests before we are satisfied with the form and fit. <br />

<br />
CIRCLE TANK<br />
One of many new designs, this is a new T-shirt construction using a V-yoke from the shoulders and a circle bodice from two T-shirts that comes together at the V. <br />

NEW ACCESSORIES<br />
Ribbon clamps are our favorite Spring fastener. Here is a close up of some of the braided work we are doing, trapping braids in the clamps for necklaces, earrings, bracelets. <br />

<br />
Eco, sustainable, and ethical fashion industries are rooted and growing, ground-up across the globe with increased awareness of the ongoing atrocities caused by fast fashion. Textile recycling is the oldest form of recycling and yet has the least implemented programs in current US municipalities. 11 million tons of textiles are thrown in actual trashes each year, making up 5.2% of our solid waste in the USA. <br />
<br />
Madam Chino shares a complex and original USA-Made Brand that is constructed completely of recycled t-shirt textiles. Hand-chosen materials are sourced from a USA textile sorting facility and transformed with inventive reuse and skilled labor, into artful wearable forms with little-to-no waste. The brand offers a reclaim program for used Madam Chino garments, accepts local donations of T-shirt fabrics, and provides new styles and colors seasonally. <br />
<br />
The USA-made ethically created fashion label of Vanessa Devaki Andrew, 32 year old reuse entrepreneur, welcomes the next decade of the brand with a user-friendly website offering a wide variety of apparel products created from 100% recycled T-shirts handmade to order; incorporating unprecedented product quality and quantity control for the field of one-of-a-kind handmade garments using up-cycled post-consumer textiles. For eco-friendly shoppers, the Madam Chino E-tail experience offers a unique opportunity to purchase classic and trendy jersey-knit active and casual wear and accessories in multiple sizes and colors, both wholesale and individually, all while diverting and converting waste into useable recycled forms at a fair and affordable price. <br />

We are tracking a lot of information! Have a look at our spreadsheet and all the tabs: <br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/madamchino/12199462453/" title="Maniacal spreadsheet action by madamchino, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5485/12199462453_cfca92b58d_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Maniacal spreadsheet action"></a><br />
While no small task and with thoroughness a must, we are working on closing the gaps on <b><i>most</i></b> of our unfinished data so that we may present the public with our eco-sustainable recycled t-shirt wearables on February 1st 2014 at high noon. <br />
<br />
Here is an example of our product color overlay alongside the colorspreads showing our products in multiple color choices. <br />

Each product also contains a number of model shots! We are currently working on producing and curating each of these images for our web shop and PDF look book! <br />

Hover Craft was at Turner Hall this year. The most amazing venue with an Old Milwaukee feeling. We had lights, and banners, and bunting aglow!<br />

By the time the doors opened there was 3" on the ground of light fluffy snow that was not easy to drive in. But people were still lining up for a swag bag!<br />
