“Forced to work exhausting hours”. This note was sewn on the label of a floral dress that the 25-year-old Rebecca Gallagher bought from a shop at Swansea, Wales.

The ‘bloody’ dress cost just $ 10, according to Mirror.

“I was amazed when I checked for the washing instructions and spotted this label”, said the girl and continued by saying that “To be honest I’ve never really thought much about how the clothes are made. But this really made me think about how we get our cheap fashion,” she said.

Rebecca contacted the company immediately and the manager asked to send back the dress so as they could investigate the matter.
