<p>A seal (20) is fitted to an article of clothing such as a dress (110) and acts as an indicator of usage of the article (110). The seal (20) includes a strap (22) which wraps around a major portion of the article (110) and in particular across an outer surface of the article (11) and through an interior element of the article (110). The strap (22) includes first and second ends (24, 26) which are permanently fixed to one another by a fixing element (28). The seal (20) allows a customer to wear the item (110) for the purposes of trial only but presents a significant visual indicator intended to dissuade a customer from wearing the article as his/her own. The seal (20) can be cut or otherwise broken for its removal once the customer has decided to keep the article (110).</p> |
