A: Underwear Of The Month (UotM) is a subscription to amazing underwear. Like Wines of the World or Fruit of the Month, but with us you get hand sewn, handprinted underwear delivered to your mailbox at the beginning of each month. Each month we select a different artist to design the print. It's Wearable Art. Join the club -- it is the easist way to keep you ensure you're wearing the best handmade underwear around!
A: You can join right here on the site! Just click "Join the Club" under the Underwear of the Month tab. If you're having any troubles or have questions, send an email to: cielle@recessionclothing.com and we'll get you all set up.
Q: So if it's a club, who is the Club President?
A: Cielle is the Club President and next to recruiting artists and writing the monthly Club Letter, she'll generally reply to your emails, answer your questions, take attendance, call meetings to order, etc. Avery is the Treasurer, Leah is the Chairman, and Our puppy Lucille is the Club Mascot.
Q: Who makes this sweet underwear?
A: Generally Leah does most of the sewing and Avery does most of the printing, but sometimes friends help out too. Though we typically design our images, for UotM each month we ask a visiting artist to design the print for the underwear.
Some of our past artists include:
