Price of dressing

The True Cost treats a story about our dresses. It is a movie about the dresses we wear, the people who make them, and the impact of this industry on the world.

Cost of dressing has been falling as its humanitarian and environmental impacts dramatically increase. The True Cost is a documentary uncovering the curtain and urges us to contemplate on who pays the real price of our dresses.
