Should I buy this shirt?

Should I buy this shirt?

2025-10-26

Reading clothing tags is overwhelming, at least for me. Fabric composition labels are often confusing, making it difficult to understand what you're actually buying.

I created this mini app mainly to make it easier for me when I'm buying clothes.

If a dress "costs" 12, whether that is US Dollars or an environmental measure, and it is worn once, the cost is 12 per wear. If another dress "costs" 1,200, and is worn 100 times, the cost/impact is also 12 per wear. The difference is that at the end of those '100 times', in the first case there are 100 dresses to dispose of, and in the second, only one.
