That&#8217;s how I came back with a 3-meter remnant of white cotton from Yves Saint Laurent tucked under my arm. Now, mind you, it wasn&#8217;t about buying a brand just for the sake of the name; it was more about choosing a brand to guarantee a high-quality finish.   <\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: sans-serif;\">In the meantime, I still had the courage to test it out on a poor-quality fabric.
