Sustainability & Manufacturing
We were tired
Tired of clothes that didn’t fit, wardrobes full of costly reminders, and a fashion industry that treats tall women as an afterthought. Miss G & Me was built as the opposite of all of that.
And how we make our clothes matters. So does what we make them from, where, and by whom. This page is our commitment to being honest about all of it; the good, the complex, and the parts we are still working on.
How we make your clothes
Miss G & Me has adopted a hybrid manufacturing model. Here is what that means, and why.
Tailored pants, knitwear and our linen collection are made here in Australia; knitwear and linen crafted in Tasmania by skilled machinists, tailored pants and core range designs such as the Jo Legging and Maddie Chillax produced by Victorian manufacturers, and our socks knitted in New South Wales in sizes 8-11 and 11-14 to fit longer feet. All use Australian wool where the fibre calls for it. Limited edition and deadstock releases are also made onshore here in Australia.
From July 2026, new garments are manufactured overseas through established supply partners: better equipment, better construction, and more accessible pricing for tall women who have waited long enough. Our overseas manufacturing partner holds an amfori BSCI Social Audit conducted by TUV Rheinland, with verified ratings across no child labour, no bonded labour, worker protection and ethical business behaviour.
Every product carries its country of manufacture. Design, pattern development and fit-testing remain in Australia throughout.
Australian manufacturing is retained where the material, craft, or supply chain makes it the right choice.
Overseas manufacturing is used where it delivers better construction and accessible pricing. That distinction is intentional, and we will always be transparent about it.
The Tall Testing Team
Every garment is tested by real tall women before it reaches the range.
Our Tall Testing Team is a group of women over 6’ located around Australia. Before a garment is finalised, it is sent out to be worn in real life; at work, on weekends, through a full day. Their feedback shapes the final design. Not a photoshoot. Not a one-off fitting. Actual wear, from women who know exactly what doesn’t work and why.

Fabric is where sustainability starts.
For limited edition and deadstock releases, we source fabric from Australian and New Zealand deadstock suppliers; existing fabric given a second life rather than new production commissioned. Where accreditation is available from our suppliers, we request and hold it.
Our linen range; including the Keryn wide leg pant, Bron bermuda shorts, and Elsa hat; uses OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified linen. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 tests every component of a fabric for harmful substances, so what touches your skin has been independently verified as safe.
The Maddie ‘Chillax’ trackpant uses a certified organic cotton fabric with recycled elastane and bio-derived components. The fabric holds OEKO-TEX, REACH, ECO CERT and USDA ORGANIC certification; one of the most comprehensively certified fabrics in the range.
Our knitwear and socks use Australian wool. The Penni blazer and Louise trouser set uses an innovative fabric made from recycled single-use bottles; a wool-like finish without the environmental cost of new fibre.
We also test for shrinkage before bulk production. The industry tolerance is 2-10%. We alter patterns to account for how a garment actually behaves after washing, and we tell you what to expect on the care instructions. If a fabric fails our tests, we wear that cost. We will not knowingly release a garment below standard.
Accreditations
Where we can point to a standard, we do.

Packaging and postage
Our packaging for Australian orders is 95% plastic-free and home compostable. We charge $12.50 for postage because a flat postage rate encourages considered purchasing; you won’t see us running free returns haul culture here.
For overseas orders, Australia Post bags are used.
We offer Buy 1, Try 2 for Australian customers as a conscious alternative to the standard try-and-return model; one size ordered, a second size included at no extra cost, return postage covered by the customer.
This is a living page.
We update it as the business evolves, not just when things look good.
