(Hope this follows all the rules. I'm mad at ModCloth today.)

Well I've cracked the code. They sell you garbage that is ill fitting and cheap materials but you can't tell it sucks from their website because their pictures are adorable. So you order it thinking it's going to be super cute and it arrives, you try it on, and it wayyyyy too closely resembles a box on your body. So you decide to send it back. WAIT A SECOND!! Modcloth wants $6.95/item to ship it back. But hey, it's only $4.50 if you go to the "return bar" whatever the fuck that is. We don't have those fancy thinga majigs over here. /s (Nearest return bar is 40+ miles away)
Anyway, back to the code. They sell you xyz and you return it for their $7 fee. Then they sell xyz again and unsuspecting victim #2 returns it. Over and over until the end of time. Who needs to sell good quality products when you can just resell the same one piece of crap over and over? That return fee is generating their revenue.

Anyway, what are everyone's favorite alternatives these days? Is there anyone new on the scene? Unique Vintage, Anthropologie?, .....???? Anything good quality BIFL type that is whimsical, fun, retro, funky, colorful, vintage, that will fit a very average, but tall, woman's body. The tall part has created a complicated relationship with women's fashionable clothing.

We have a gas stove for the kitchen. I was wearing a 92% cotton 8% polyester sweatshirt while turning the dial to turn on the stove. It must have come in contact with the fire from turning on the stove because my arm very quickly caught fire. Thank god it went out soon after😅smells nasty now.

Does anyone know anything about Papinelle? I’m on the hunt for a 100% cotton pajama set and they have some nice looking ones for decent prices. They’re based in Australia and do have a sustainability/ethics page on their site, but of course I’d love an outside opinion.

I couldn’t find anything about them on Good On You. Thank you! 🩷

I want to follow more influencers who promote Ethical Fashion ! If you have a favorite please lmk !

Any recommendations for stores or brands that carry some good quality business casual clothes (women’s)? I’m located in California. I don’t need anything too fancy, just a nice button up shirt and pants. I have already looked at major chain stores (H&M, Old Navy, Macy’s,…) and didn’t find a single cotton or cotton blend piece, mostly 100% polyester or nylon.

I am a girl that likes a men's kind of fit for a denim jacket that I can wear over a hoodie in a dark blue color. The issue with getting a more hourglass shape jacket is that I'm concerned that if I get it large enough to fit over a hoodie, it will look funny. Plus I like a more androgynous/masc leaning aesthetic right now.

Brands I've considered: Able (except the one boxy cut they have doesn't come in a dark blue) Everlane Quince

Thoughts?

Edit: also considering the brand "outerknown" Edit: and I'm totally willing to look for used things on eBay/Poshmark etc

I’m also looking for any brand recommendations which have asymmetric / ruffles / an apocalyptic look, or any cool ethical brands!

This dress is from Guizio but doesn’t have great reviews / seems quite sheer, and I’m unsure of their ethical policies!

Thank you :)

I HATE fast fashion with a passion, and have been looking to expand my wardrobe. I love a dark academia & fairy grunge look so much, and everyone tells me to go to the thrift store, or use depop.

I’m a germaphobe due to my OCD, but I really want to try being more open to sustainable fashion and reusing clothes.

But it just feels so… yucky. For lack of a better term. I know people try to treat their clothes well, but accidents happen, and the idea of using clothes that (for example, someone may have bled through at one point) have been lived in and worn just makes my skin crawl. Thrift stores also tend to have this smell, a bit musky, sometimes mildew-y and it sets me off so bad I normally need to leave.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can better approach thrifting / buying secondhand? How do you get the clothes to feel “clean”, even knowing others have worn them and touched them?

Thank you for your help 🥹🙏

Hi everyone, I’m on the hunt for a good quality bikini or bathing suit that’s not fast fashion. I don’t live in the us so I prob have to order but I don’t know where to start🥲 thanks in advance:)

I have an event in May which will require a DRESS dress. Seeking something with Lazy Oaf or Fashion Brand Company vibes, think unique prints and details. Will be worn with bare legs and Birkenstocks. Needs to go up to UK size 20-22, absolute max budget £200.

What other brand should I check out?

I’m still working on doing my research (I’ve saved many posts from this sub), but I’m curious as to what brands people have tried (and liked) that fit the ethical fashion criteria that are available at a Dillard’s or JCP, you know, your typical mall / brick and mortar stores.

I really love those but when I look at TJ Maxx or Marshall most are leather. Willing to pay a good price

I’m not sure if this is allowed given it’s not fashion per se (more of a house clothes situation), but I’m looking for an ethically made wearable quilt for winter. Must ship to Canada. I’m looking for something thicker than a housecoat. Thanks in advance !

I am woman, plus size, with sensitive skin. Therefore I need underwear that won’t cause any irritants. I’m looking for underwear, socks, and bras. Must be made of natural fibers. I’m not sure if garments can be made hypoallergenic or odor-preventing, but that would be great. No toxic dyes.

Thank you in advance for you suggestions.

I’m trying to find 100% cotton or fences racerback tank tops. Google is useless. Anyone has suggestions on where to look?

Does anyone have any opinions on their Huha thongs and wearing tight leggings?

The reviews of the seamless are not looking a bit grim and the low profile seams some find uncomfortable as well (sensory sensitive individual). The standard thong I just cannot do that style of waist band without it cutting into my hips.

I typically wear a medium which fits perfect and enjoy the hipster style the most. But, based off the reviews would probably size up in most of these styles. However, the top seam of the gusset shows right through my leggings at the peak of my mons.

We all know that turning over our underwear drawer to Huha could be a bit pricey, so I wanted to get some first hand opinions. So folks, which of these shows the least through your leggings? Thank you!

I'm going on a trip in June, and I want to find ethical and trustworthy sites. I've attached the pattern inspiration I'm looking for if anyone has any good suggestions. Thank you!

I've had my leggings for many years and they are falling apart. I had bought them at UNIQLO at the time, and I am looking for something similar. I think it's this model:

https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E469844-000/00?colorDisplayCode=03&sizeDisplayCode=003

Can anyone give me a suggestion? I wanted to avoid buying from this brand again, if possible. These leggings are thick and a little fluffy, they are not like yoga pants, and not like sweatpants either. Thank you!!
