I Dress Myself Ltd is a garment decoration company committed to excellence in quality and ethics. We say no to traditional print practices and industry norms that are harmful, we are open to new ideas and want to do things differently. We were the first company to exclusively use eco-friendly water based inks and the first to develop a completely plastic free embroidery service. We are GOTS certified and working towards B Corp and ISO accreditation. We are a forward-thinking, environmentally minded, socially responsible company who are looking for like-minded individuals to help us grow sustainably.
I Dress Myself was established in 2005 and sustainability has always been close to our heart. We have expanded to include screen printing, Direct-to-Garment digital printing, eco-embroidery as well as relabelling and sustainable custom packaging. I Dress Myself has a strong base of loyal clients, have been growing year on year and now supply large organisations such as the V&A, Lush, Tate Enterprises and Forest Green Rovers.
We're a small team of highly motivated and hardworking individuals and every member of the team is encouraged to take responsibility for their area and show initiative to help minimise the use of resources whilst growing the business. We have regular team meetings to help us to find solutions for any issues that arise and to encourage smooth operations. At the end of each month, we provide a vegan lunch for the team to say thank you and to celebrate the month. Our core values are positivity, sustainability, integrity and a pioneering spirit.
