Has changing your child's nightwear ever improved their sleep?

Our son used to wake up uncomfortable during hot summer nights.

We eventually realized that fabric made a bigger difference than we thought.

Galamaar Swimwear Terrible Experience

Had the worst experience ever buying from the “ethical” sustainable Los Angeles swim company Galamaar! I bought a swimsuit directly from their website and reached out to cancel the order so that I could re-purchase in a different color. Emilia from customer support seemed very helpful and refunded the order, sending an invoice for a new order. I purchased the swimsuit and it was advertised to be shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Instead they shipped UPS Ground (which typically quotes an arrival of 3 days longer). I reached out to voice my disappointment about the change in shipping, and Emilia said that if I was unhappy they could initiate a refund once I received the swimsuit.

Once the swimsuit was received, I messaged them again, and they provided me with a return label to return it. I sent it back the very next day. The return ended up getting lost in transit, last being marked “out for delivery”, but now the company is refusing to refund me (even though they’re able to file a claim with USPS to get their insurance back for the package). As a last resort, I initiated a chargeback with my bank, and Galamaar sent in a screenshot showing the FIRST order that was refunded, not evidence that the second (returned) purchase was ever refunded. So I am out the item and my refund.

Also their phone number on their website isn’t even Galamaar’s contact, I tried calling it and got a very suspicious “sorry you have the wrong number. Bye”. I have never had an experience like this before.

Tencel vs linen for Indian summers — which one are you actually buying?

Been on a fabric rabbit hole lately. Linen is everywhere but tencel/lyocell keeps coming up as the 'better' option. Anyone who's worn both, does tencel actually feel cooler or is it more of a marketing thing? Also does it wrinkle as badly because that's my main issue with linen honestly.

Struggling to find good quality, decently affordable, goth clothing.

Just to preface; I'm chronically ill, the thrifts around me don't really have any easily diy-able clothing that I'd actually enjoy wearing, my closet is wearing out (holes, rips, etc), and even after fixing some of those; I need clothes for summer since I'm overheating in my long-sleeves.

Apparently I don't have enough karma to post this in another subreddit but I need help; so I'm sorry if it's a little confusing, if you're not goth or not knowledgeable on it then you can just skip over this.

I've spent a few days now trying to look at brands online that don't use sweatshops, that are reliable, affordable (under $150 per piece - like shirt/pants/etc), and that have good quality clothing. I've looked at Pretty Disturbia, Alice's Lips, Vampire Freaks, Disturbia, Dark Cottage, etc.

I've also looked at Hell Bunny, which I picked out a lot of clothing but, when I looked at reviews on various review websites, a lot of them mentioned the quality having gone down since COVID started. I can't find anything about them being problematic either but that might be because I swapped browsers recently and I'm still getting used to the new one's layout. If anyone knows if they're problematic (like using sweatshops n whatnot) please let me know and/or if anyone's ordered from there this year and are located in the US, PLEASE tell me your opinions on the quality and experience with the brand.

Otherwise, please give me recommendations for goth clothing brands to look at. For reference, I'm a romantic goth for the vibe since I know brands often differ in those, but I'm not overly fond of dresses - so any dress heavy brands won't work for me. Thank all of you in advance for any help that may come my way.

I spent months handmaking 48 football outfits for the 2026 World Cup, one per country, inspired by each nation's culture and history. AMA. [OC]

Hey r/SustainableFashion ,

Long time football fan here.

A few months ago I had an idea that took over my life: the 2026 World Cup has 48 nations. What if each one had a unique handmade outfit, inspired by that country's culture and World Cup history?

So we made them. All 48. Only 1 outfit per country. Ever. Here's how it works:

Every outfit is a shirt + scarf combination. The shirt is 100% natural linen, handcrafted by a seamstress in Barcelona. The scarf is 100% organic cotton.

The shirt shape is inspired by American football jerseys, because the World Cup is in America.

Every shirt has a number. Not a player's position. A moment in history: the year they hosted, the year they debuted, their greatest ever player.

Every scarf is placed differently (on the head, around the neck, or at the waist) following the traditional dress codes of that country.

Happy to answer anything about the design process, the cultural research, or the stories behind each number.

Still trying to find my summer wardrobe “sweet spot”

I’ve been in this weird phase lately where I really want to refresh my wardrobe for warmer weather, but nothing I try on feels fully right.

I went out last weekend thinking I’d finally pick up a couple of easy dresses or skirts I could just wear on repeat, but I ended up overthinking everything. Some things looked nice on the hanger but felt a bit stiff once I tried them on, and others were super flowy but just didn’t sit the way I expected. It was all “okay-ish” but nothing that made me think, yep, this is it.

I even ended up walking into a store while I was out in Dubai (Sand Dollar Dubai, I think it was?) just browsing without any plan. Found a couple of lightweight summer pieces there that were decent, but I still left feeling like I haven’t quite figured out what I actually want my everyday style to be right now.

Has anyone else gone through this phase where your wardrobe just doesn’t feel like “you” anymore, but you can’t quite pinpoint what’s missing?

Are more people moving away from fast fashion for kids now?

Lately I’ve noticed more parents preferring breathable cotton clothing and simpler everyday outfits for children instead of trend-heavy fast fashion.

Especially during Indian summers, comfort seems to matter much more now than flashy designs.

I’m also seeing more appreciation for handcrafted fabrics and block prints again, which honestly feels refreshing.

Do you think people are slowly becoming more mindful about kids clothing now?

What to do with Excess Clothing for Charities/Social Enterprises?

Hello there, I work for a social enterprise, and we currently have an excess amount of clothing donated to us.

We are currently sell clothing in our shops, as well as online platforms such as Vinted as a way for them to get a second life and not just thrown away into landfill. We also usually are able to give bags of clothing to countries like Africa for those in need of them. However, the current places we use, are at full capacity, as no one is able to send overseas, so we're at a gridlock right now with our storage unit becoming full.

We were wondering what other charities and social enterprises are doing with their excess clothing and rags? There appears to be a distinct lack of companies accepting donations! Anyone else bursting at the seams?

Is there any other way for us to shift clothing in a quick manner? Any help would be appreciated (:

Is GOTS certification actually worth the marketing focus for a streetwear brand?

I run a streetwear brand in Boston, and we committed to strict GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and GRS certifications for ALL of our products from day one. The upfront cost and sourcing difficulty were brutal compared to just using standard blanks.

However, we are noticing that our customer retention is significantly higher than the industry average. For those of you running or buying from sustainable brands, do you actively look for these official certifications on the tag, or is a brand's overall transparency enough for you? I am trying to decide if we should make the certification the centerpiece of our marketing this year or just keep it as a quiet standard we uphold behind the scenes.

Where do you usually find sustainable fashion at reasonable prices?

I’ve been trying to be more intentional about sustainable fashion, but prices can vary a lot depending on where you shop. Between ethical brands, small designers, and different marketplaces, it feels like knowing where to look really matters.

I usually compare materials, production practices, and pricing across different sources to find pieces that make sense long term.

I’ve also been checking live auctions on whatnot, where sustainably made pieces and ethical brands show up occasionally.

Due to a condition I have I have become allergic to pretty much every material other than cotton. This has left me pretty stumped on what to do this summer for swimwear. I can tolerate some elastane/spandex, I have 5-10% in my underwear and bras. I have seen some 100% cotton swimwear but I just also feel it would become so uncomfy and heavy after getting wet?

African bridesmaid dresses could redefine modern white weddings

I really love how African couture is slowly finding its place on the global fashion stage. We still have a long way to go when it comes to exporting premium and affordable Nigerian wears. But the progress is there.

One place I think we can really make an impact is with bridal trains. I know some couples have it during their traditional weddings and others don't.

Nigerians already know how to throw a party, so imagine carrying that same energy into white weddings but styling the bridesmaids in African prints. The bride can still wear her white dress (if she wants), but the bridal train in Ankara, Aso-oke, or other African fabrics would be incredible on a global stage. It would be bold, colorful, and memorable. Like proper African bridesmaid dresses.

Sometimes I even think about moments that could have pushed that idea further. If someone like Temi Otedola had styled her bridal train in African prints for her wedding last year, I honestly believe the images would have traveled around the world.

And that’s the thing — not everything needs to come from mass-market fashion routes like Alibaba or Temu. Some pieces should be organic, targeted, intentional, and rooted in culture. And honestly, if Nigerians slack on this, another African country can jump on it.

Hi! I have been shopping for myself and my sister (upcoming bday), who has been adding pieces from Suuksess off Amazon to her wishlist. Their pieces are often double lined, buttery soft, and seamless basics such as camis and other athleisure. Are there any better brands out there I can search for similar pieces? I am determined to stay sustainable when I shop, especially for her. If I can find better brands, then I can put her onto them as well and encourage her to stop shopping from sketchy companies. I am also on a budget, but I will take any suggestions! Thank you.

Is the “natural fiber” rule a myth? (Cotton vs. Bio-based)

For the last few years, Ive stuck to one golden rule, all my clothes must be natural fabric with no other material blended in. Cotton, Silk, wool etc, I always assumed that if it came from a natural source, it would be best for the planet.

This is kinda a the more I learn the less I know moment for me tho, when I read about water scarcity and industrial cotton farming. The amount of water required to produce cotton is incredible. I also read that some synthetic, bio based material might be better for the planet. So Im not quite sure.

Some of the brand that I started wearing, Allbirds (their Trino line), Patagonia (their Tencel blends), and OGLs bio-cotton, I was drawn because of their close loop production, which seem to eliminate the majority of water waste. The water recycling rates vary, like OGL claims nearly 99% of water and solvents recycled, while others have different approaches. Ive noticed the textures differ too, comfortable to wear but with varying levels of elasticity compared to traditional cotton.

Am I crazy for starting to prefer these high-tech plant fibers over traditional cotton? Or should we stick with the philosophy that if it is natural, it is good? Whats everyones take on this?

vivaia promo code actually worth searching for before ordering?

i keep seeing vivaia shoes all over my feed lately and i’ll admit they look really good, especially for something people keep calling comfortable enough for all day wear. i’ve been needing new flats for work because my current ones are destroying my feet by the end of the day, but the prices are higher than i expected once i started looking closer.

naturally i ended up searching for a vivaia promo code before checking out and now im wondering if people actually get decent savings from those or if most of the codes online are outdated. also curious if the shoes actually hold up long term or if the hype is mostly from ads and influencers.

for anyone who bought vivaia shoes recently, were they actually comfortable right away or did they need breaking in? and do they stay comfortable after months of walking around in them or start losing support pretty fast?

affordable real gold jewelry online in 2026 that's not plated and is zayla new york legit?

The direct-to-consumer fine jewelry space has gotten competitive enough that the premium over costume jewelry needs to be justified by real gold weight, stone quality, and construction rather than just brand positioning. zayla new york shows up in indie jewelry threads with designs that are distinctive without being costume-looking.

The question is whether the metal quality and stone settings are at a level that justifies fine jewelry pricing. For daily-wear rings and necklaces, durability matters more than how it photographs.

Is getting clothes stitched actually cheaper than buying readymade in 2026?

I have been thinking about getting clothes stitched instead of buying readymade, but I’m honestly confused about the cost.

Once you add fabric and stitching charges, it doesn’t always feel cheaper. Sometimes it even ends up costing the same or more than buying something ready-made.

At the same time, stitched clothes usually fit better and feel more personalized.

So now I’m trying to figure out what actually makes more sense:

• Is stitching still cheaper in 2026?
• When is it worth getting something stitched instead of buying ready-made?
• What’s been your experience?

Looking for good quality T-shirts in India.

Hello, everyone. Sorry for the mini vent, but I’m getting tired of the poor quality t-shirts flooding the market around me.
I’ve become a bit lazy and now lean heavily on Uniqlo for most of my basics because they are fairly consistent with their quality. I’m sure there are plenty of good brands out there making well-made cotton tees, but honestly, I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to them. I constantly get ads for small-scale brands and independent designers, but I never know how to judge their actual quality. I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or leads. Thank you for your time.

Buying used

I’ve been trying to buy more used clothing from places like Depop, Poshmark etc. vs buying new despite focusing on natural fibers. I’ve had success with some but I recently bought a top that didn’t fit correctly (small breasts but large rib cage peeps wya). How can one avoid this problem in the future ? Like obviously try to buy brands you know how they fit but I guess what if you want to try other brands or maybe you see a top that you love and it’s your “size” but you don’t know if it will fit since you’ve never worn that style brand etc. Do you just take the risk and hope for the best and if it doesn’t fit resell for you you bought it for or take a L and sell it for less cause you just wanna get rid of it? I imagine I’m not the only one that has struggled with this.

has anyone ordered from misshaus and is the quality consistent enough to trust for wardrobe staples?

misshaus keeps showing up alongside other indie womenswear brands that sit between fast fashion and the higher-end boutique tier, and the aesthetic is genuinely appealing, but brands that look beautiful in curated photos and arrive looking significantly less intentional in person are a well-established category. The price point suggests quality should be there but suggests and is are different things. For people who've actually ordered, does the fabric quality and construction match the pricing, and are the size descriptions accurate enough that buying online without trying is reasonable? Specifically curious about the structured pieces since those disappoint most often.

Community Brand Project

Hi you all.
I´m new here and have a question. I´m in the EU textile industry since more than 15 years focusing on fair and sustainable clothing. I have now started a project in Germany, a truely 100% community driven brand. Idea:
- I have the network to fabric suppliers, accessories and manufacturing sites in the EU.
- the community fully decides: first, what kind of product they want to make, let´s take a t-shirt to start with. then they decide if it´s either made of organic cotton, wood based fabric, etc. they decide the base color and the design. All in different decision rounds obviously of 1-2 weeks for example. Finally the product is designed and then there´s a minimum threshold for production (depending on product) in this case 100 pcs. Now comes the part where also non-community people can place an order and when threshold is reached within certain timeframe, again maybe 1-2 weeks, the production is started and only the pre-ordered amount will be produced.
No stock, no sale, no waste.
Further 10% of the earnings will go into social / environmental projects which also are suggested and selected by the community.

Would you be interested in such a concept of clothing brand inclusion?
Thanks for your honest feedback.
Best,
ELCC

has anyone ordered from seldom seen styles and is the quality worth it for something you won't find everywhere?

seldom seen styles has an aesthetic that's clearly distinct from the usual indie brand sameness and the appeal of wearing something genuinely uncommon is real, but uncommon can also mean unproven and in fashion that's a risk worth evaluating before committing. The pricing is in the range where it's not a throwaway purchase even if it doesn't work out.

For people who've actually ordered, does the fabric quality and construction feel intentional and durable, or is it more of a "beautiful concept, somewhat disappointing execution" situation? Also curious whether the sizing is consistent across styles or whether you need to size up or down depending on the cut.

Trying to balance sustainability with product quality… is anyone else finding this difficult?

I’ve been working on a small apparel project and recently started thinking more seriously about sustainability, something I honestly didn’t prioritize enough at the beginning.

At first, the focus was just on getting products out and learning how everything works. But after receiving a few samples and orders, I started noticing how much waste and inconsistency can happen behind the scenes.

That’s when things got more complicated.

When I look into more sustainable options, better materials, more intentional production, longer-lasting garments, it feels like the right direction. But at the same time, it often comes with higher costs, more limited options, or added complexity in how everything is produced and fulfilled.

On the other hand, sticking with easier setups feels more efficient, but not always aligned with the idea of creating something that actually lasts or feels responsible long-term.

So now I feel a bit stuck between:

Keeping things simple and accessible
vs
Trying to build something more thoughtful and sustainable

I’m curious how others here approach this, especially if you’re working on smaller projects or just starting out.

How do you balance sustainability with practicality in the early stages?
Do you focus on getting traction first, or try to build those values into the product from the beginning?

Would really appreciate hearing how others think about this.

How do I choose the right size in women's shapewear?

I visited a clothing store two days ago to find shapewear for daily use. I wanted something that felt supportive and comfortable under outfits without being too tight. But when I checked the options I felt disappointed. Some pieces felt too tight even in larger sizes. Some did not give clear compression levels. Some felt uncomfortable after just a short try on. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some shapewear looked better but sizing still felt confusing. Some items felt supportive but too restrictive for long wear. Some looked fine at first but did not match body comfort expectations. I remembered once buying shapewear that looked right but felt completely wrong when worn for a full day.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many shapewear options with detailed size charts. Some explained compression levels clearly. Some included body measurement guides. Some had customer reviews mentioning real fit experience. There were many options available. This made me interested but still unsure again.

Now I am thinking is it better to size down for shaping effect or choose true size for daily comfort?

I visited a sports shop to buy leggings two days ago I wanted comfert feel I wanted strong fabric I wanted daily gym use but I got confused fast Some leggings look nice but feel thin Some feel soft but lose shape fast Some colors are good but waist rolls down I try one pair and it felt okay but not long lasting feel I could not trust them I could not decide confidently

Then I visited another shop in the same area Some leggings had thick fabric Some had compression style Some had seamless design Some looked good but price was high I asked worker and she said durability depends on fabric and stitching I remembered one leggings I bought before that looked perfect but after few washes it became loose That made me hesitate even more I kept checking but still unsure about real long lasting comfort

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I saw many leggings brands and reviews Some users talk about squat proof Some say soft feel Some say long lasting stretch This made me excited but also confused again Now I am thinking brands like Lululemon Nike Adidas Gymshark and Under Armour are most known for durable and comfortable leggings I think fabric quality and stretch recovery matter most but still I am not fully sure which brand gives best balance of softness and durability for daily workouts what would you choose for long term gym wear

I visited a clothing store to buy plus size jeans two days ago. I wanted something durable and long lasting. I also wanted something that does not fade quickly.

Why is sustainable clothing production still so hard for small brands?

I’ve been exploring the idea of starting a small womenswear line with a focus on sustainability, and one thing that keeps coming up is how complicated the production side is, especially if you’re trying to do it responsibly.

Finding the right factory, understanding materials, ensuring ethical production, managing small batches… it feels like most of the system is built for larger brands, not small or independent designers.

I keep wondering how smaller brands manage to stay sustainable while also dealing with things like:

• high minimum order quantities
• lack of transparency in pricing
• difficulty verifying factory practices
• logistics and shipping

While researching, I came across a platform called Greige that seems to handle production end-to-end, from sourcing to delivery, and claims to make things easier for smaller brands, even with no minimums. I’m still trying to understand how solutions like this fit into the sustainability space, especially when it comes to transparency and ethical sourcing.

Curious to hear from people here:

• How do small sustainable brands actually manage production in practice?
• Is it better to work directly with manufacturers, or use services that coordinate everything?
• What should someone new look out for if they want to keep things genuinely sustainable from the start?

Feels like this is one of the biggest barriers for anyone trying to build something thoughtful in fashion.
