How to even get started?

So I'm a trans girl who is pre everything and the most I can do is stare longingly at clothes I wish I could wear, but I'm not having any luck even finding anything. Everything is either ridiculously expensive, business style (which I don't really like), or probably made with slave labor. I would never have the money to pay $600 for one outfit (although my personal financial situation might be a bit better by the time I'd feel confident wearing anything I wish I could wear now). I can't thrift because I have severe food allergies and skin issues, and a big rule of that is to never wear other people's clothes.

Any ideas? What I'd really like are cute dresses with maybe some flower aesthetics and silly hats to go along with them.

Expensive cotton activewear

Why is plant-based or cotton activewear so expensive? I don’t want to spend $87 on leggings or $140 on a workout set. Sometimes it feels like taking care of your health and body has become a luxury, and honestly, that makes me anxious.

Pact Final Sale Policy?

I’m in Canada and I recently bought some items on sale from Pact. The items said “Final Sale: No returns or exchanges”, but why does the website let me create returns and return shipping labels for these items?

I bought the wrong size, so I was hoping to send them back and re-order the correct sizes. If I shipped them with the return label, do you think they’d reject them?

What actually makes you invest in a craft-led, naturally dyed clothing brand?

Hey r/SustainableFashion,
When looking at independent labels built around traditional artisanal craft, natural botanical dyes, and raw earth-based textiles, what makes you genuinely want to support and invest in a piece?
With so many brands marketing "sustainability," what details make a craft-forward garment actually resonate with you?

Artisanal Value: Does the depth of traditional craft techniques (heritage hand-stitching, regional artisan partnerships, botanical dye processes) make an item feel worth a higher investment?

Modern Wearability: Do you prefer craft-led pieces that lean into timeless, modern silhouettes you can wear regularly, or do you view them more as special occasion / statement pieces?

Trust & Connection: What type of storytelling or process transparency helps you feel genuinely connected to a piece rather than feeling sold to?
Curious to hear what turns an artisanal, nature-dyed piece into something you truly cherish in your wardrobe.
