Thanks to your generous contributions, the fabric samples for our new bust-friendly styles have just arrived, and we’re excited to begin the next phase of our journey. \r\n \r\nOur team is meticulously reviewing each fabric to ensure it meets our high standards for durability, breathability, and overall quality. While some of the fabrics are perfect, a few have turned out to be much too thin for our needs. We’re carefully evaluating every option to ensure that the final product will be both comfortable and long-lasting. \r\n \r\nThank you again for believing in our mission to bring more body-inclusive, eco-friendly fashion to the world. We couldn’t do this without you, and we’ll keep you updated on the next steps! \r\n \r\nWarm regards, \r\nKristen",
