As a plus size person who struggles with finding thrifted/ slow fashion brand I have started to make my own clothes and I love it it isn't easy to find good quality fabric because even in fabric stores most of the quality is shit but when you find good quality ones you can make it exactly to your taste and for those saying sewing isn't for them I would really recommend a seamstress/tailor especially if you have a hard time finding clothes that fit you
I love that! I’ve found myself wishing I knew how to make clothing as I’ve learned more about it. You have a very valuable skill!
Not only sweaters are rapidly declining in material and construction but wool coats too. People deserve warm coats that won't pill in the first season of wearing it or look crumpled or flimsy. I spent hours on Poshmark finding a good quality either 100% wool or wool/cashmere blend only. I found a perfect condition red plum Hugo Boss wool/cash blend coat. It's soft, looks expensive because of details and intentional construction.
I think of J.Crew's wool lady coat. In the past it was at least 90% wool with nylon and was a polished favorite classic. Current renditions are 75% wool, 25% polyamide, changes in construction and the reviews reflect its downgrade and pilling. One easy way to distinguish the older better coat is the new one has the buttons hidden by the front placket.
So true. I have that J. Crew coat still! So well-constructed and still looks brand new.
Hi Bekah! Have you listened to the Clotheshorse podcast? It's an entire podcast about slow and sustainable fashion run by a former industry buyer. I think you'd find it very interesting and could take a lot from it! They have an entire episode about sweaters based on that sweater article you were talking about.
This is the content I need. Thank you for the rec!
Ah that eye shadow looks great - great vid, good points. I’m on similar journey and what helped me spice things up is adding Nuuly rental every now and then. No more buying a dress for one dang occasion or a new specific something for beach vacation for me.
Yes, really exciting to see more rental options! A lot of my friends love Nuuly too.
This was such a great and thoughtful video! Thank you for the time and effort you put into creating it. Tons of food for thought.
I think that im defs more of a resale typa person. I find most brands even fast fashion is kind of a lot for me. My only problem is im kinda little so i wear and xxs in Abercrombie (unless its oversized) but its like xxs or 0 and im really short. So i have a harder time finding stuff in general. So i end up buying petite juniors jeans from kohls. Although i havent bought jeans in years since i havent grown since middle school and im in college now😅.
Yes! Love this video content ❤
Loved this video ♥️
loving this video so much! so relatable
I love this and thank you for sharing!
I wish this video had more views.
Love this❤
Such a thoughtful and insightful video. Thanks for sharing your journey!
So appreciate the insight and care you put into this video! I have been trying to transition into slow/ethically produced fashion myself and this is a great resource and inspiration to fully commit.💜
An intentional and meaningful transition is a great thing. So glad you enjoyed!
Bekah, thank you for this insightful and inspiring video. I look forward to more!🌸🐝
Your speaking style is a breath of fresh air!! ✨️
Thank you so much!
I love your eye look❤❤❤
Thank you!
bekah i couldnt get your skinstore code to work! also this video resonated with me so deeply. this year im trying to sell things from my wardrobe that i dont wear and really focus on the clothes that make me happy. would love to see more videos on this topic!
Hi! I just checked and it is still active, but I think there are some products that are excluded. I'm working on more slow fashion stuff and I'll be sharing more soon! So glad to hear this resonates.
💛
thank you for sharing all the resource links! also i love your eye look! could i ask what product it is?
Aw thank you! It’s the Violette FR Yeux Paint in the lilac color: go.shopmy.us/p-3521943
Can you link the shoes you wore for your wedding please? :)
They're the Cult Gaia Envi shoes. I don't think they're in production anymore but there are a few sizes available here go.shopmy.us/p-3563444
And lots of similar current season styles! They were definitely a splurge for me but I've worn them to a few weddings and special events since. Really suggest getting shoes you'll wear more than once!
