It's fixable. That is, you can resew a seam. The seams are coming apart. The fabric is not torn.
Without electricity in the rural areas, most seamstresses use a manual sewing machine. There must be a different in the stitching between manual sewing machine and an electric sewing machine. I have had the same thing happen to my shirts made in rural Congo.
Just wondering!

In the developed world, fashion change with the seasons. Fashion trends or predictions take months to arrive at the store. Fashion is big business. Fashion drives our desire for new clothes. We have to acquire the latest fashion.
In rural Congo, the fashion industry is different. Fashion trends travel slowly from village to village. But it may only take hours to produce for the customer. The fashion designer and the seamstress is one and the same person. The only thing needed is imaginative mind and a manual sewing machine.
