Nontoxic clothing for cheer uniform

Hi! My daughter joined cheer this year. I’m looking at her uniform list, and feel really uncomfortable purchasing the poly/spandex bra and 100% poly turtleneck, knowing what all the plastics and toxic chemicals can do to her developing body. After a brief search online I decided to seek help.

Specifically, I’m looking for:

• high impact sport bra, all black;

• cropped long sleeve turtleneck, all black.

Ideally I’d like organic cotton options, but really any nontoxic product recommendations are welcome! My daughter is 5’4”, about 115lb, has short torso and muscular upper body due to gymnastics. Thanks in advance!

Affordable Opaque Tights?

Hey yall!! Does anyone know where I could find a good pair of opaque tight, preferably of different colors? I was thinking of sewing my own but there are no patterns out there (also I have a feeling I’d be too lazy to do it anyways lol) and I really only see Temu and SHEIN optIons. I have been tempted but I can’t bring myself to do it, no shade. Also keyword opaque, it’s kinda hard to find out there 😪

Is a garment really sustainable if the fabric is sustainable but the trims aren't?

What slow fashion actually means? My Take

Been seeing "slow fashion" used a lot lately and honestly half the time it's just slapped on stuff that doesn't earn it, so figured I'd actually break down what it means.

Basically it's the opposite of fast fashion. Instead of pumping out cheap trendy stuff constantly, it's fewer pieces, made properly, meant to actually last years instead of a few washes. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen instead of synthetics, smaller supply chains where you can actually check if people are getting paid fairly, and no rush to chase whatever's trending this week. Some techniques like hand block printing or hand weaving just physically can't be rushed without ruining the whole point of doing it that way.

Less textile waste, less water pollution from dyeing, less pressure on resources. Smaller scale production means it's way harder to hide bad labor practices somewhere down the chain. And honestly the clothes just perform better too, fit right, don't fall apart after three washes, so cost per wear ends up lower even if the upfront price is higher.

There's this thing called the 3-3-3 rule, you pick 3 tops 3 bottoms 3 pairs of shoes and see how many outfits you can actually build out of just those nine. Good way to test if something's worth buying or if it'll just sit in a drawer. Also would love to know about brands from different countries who are into slow fashion.
