Dont know where to shop

Hi, i am new to this subreddit and sustainable fashion. I am trying to get better spending habits in general, but i have a problem with clothes shopping in particular: My only seeminly sensible option is not ethical.

I live in a small country. Most of the accesible shops are fast fashion brands, mostly international. There are a couple of local fast fashion brands, which i am also avoiding and boycotting for various reasons. There are not many small businesses eighter, and existing small bussinesses i currently cannot afford. Also no second hand shops in my town. So i have to do most of my shopping online. But i cannot buy online from international brands because of taxes almost double the price.

There is a second hand shopping app, that has almost %90 of the second hand circulation. I oftentimes buy from that app, but i dont think it is completely ethical. First; the app cuts almost %35 comission (including shipping) in total. I think thats way too much. But my main issue is that the app is linked to a huge fast fashion brand. I guess it is better to shop second hand with a %30 benefit to fast fashion, then shopping directly from fast fashion. But i am not comfortable with it. I know this problem probably has no solution, but i still want to hear your ideas and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Honeydove Vintage Saga Continues

I have been a quiet observer during and now after the whole drama of Honeydove vintage . I am convinced she is just a full time shopper, now peddling her own entire collection of personal belongings to make a buck now under the guise of a private account “ mothercld “ . she has now also started using links to peddle lineage provisions , GAP sale items of all things , and her favorite designer shows. also, she’s now engaged . She also seems to keep finding LOTS and I mean piles of Honeydove vintage back stock .

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?
