I am trying to buy a pair of patent leather mary jane shoes, but everywhere I look they are fast fashion. Where can I ethically buy mary janes online?

hi there. Im searching for ethical alternatives to outcast because I usually don’t wear dresses. Sadly, they are almost always made from polyester and I refuse to pay that much money for poor quality. Thanks in advance:)

Hi I’m trying to find a store that sells 100% natural fibers. Quality and also not super expensive. Any tips? I’m trying to get rid of all the polyester in my clothing. Thank you!

Hi all! Not sure if these kinds of posts are allowed but feel free to let me know.

I have always loved the look of a lot of Anthropology and Free People clothes, but I am looking for ethical and sustainable alternatives.

The Free People Forevermore Tank is so beautiful but am having a hard time searching for ‘lack/frilled tanks’ that are not fast fashion. I love to dress cozy, but my vibe is definitely ‘fairy in the forest’/ethereal, any recommendations would be so wonderful.

Hey, so I’ve got a few old T-shirts and other bits that I’m looking to DIY, and I’m planning to bleach some patterns and designs into them. I’ve been researching and watching how to videos and I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I’m doing but I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or advice on mistakes to avoid or things that might make them turn out better? Thanks!

Recently got the commons app to try and find more sustainable/ethical brands, and there’s an option to sync up a credit/debit card for rewards for sustainable/ethical purchases, has anyone here tried this? Not sure if it’s worth the potential risk of sharing my credit card info with them

Hi there, 

*edit - I started selling on depop in October 2024

Depop has been charging me a selling fee for three months now even after they stopped charging them in July of 2024. I am a reseller on multiple platforms and hadn’t checked the transactions until just recently and I discovered they had charged a 10% selling fee on all 70 of my transactions the past 3 months totalling in over $140 in selling fees. After emailing support it appears this issue was because I didn’t have a billing address. I am writing this post in the hopes to alert those of you that don’t know you might be getting wrongly charged a “depop fee” of 10%. I have asked for a refund and they have obliged but only after I send screenshots of every transaction. 

I have enjoyed selling on the platform but after hours of back and forth and a lot of work rectifying a fault in their system that I was not alerted to I am a little disgruntled. I just hope they aren’t conning others into paying a fee with this mistake too. 

Hopefully this helps and you all can get some of the money back they owe you!

Best of Luck!

(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
