The BBC's Panorama traveled the world to create "the dollar a day dress" - a symbol of how the world trade system harms the poor. Reporter Steve Bradshaw traveled from the Sahara to the Andes to discover some of the harsh truths about free trade and its impact on the developing world.
In each country he collected fabrics for an outfit which symbolizes the plight of the millions who live on less than a dollar a day - designed and made by a group of top London fashion students and modeled at London Fashion Week by Red Cap and former Eastenders star Tamzin Outhwaite.
This report argues that unregulated free trade may do more harm than good unless the rules of the game are changed to put the needs of poor countries first.
