I honestly don't think wrinkling is a problem. Nowadays we're used to clothes not wrinkling because that is how we were sold on polyester in the 1960s and 70s. Clothing is supposed to wrinkle as you wear it. You're supposed to iron it regularly. An friend of mine who's an older man once joked with me that when he was young, you could tell who at a party had been sitting and talking because their trousers would be wrinkled. I just love that. Wrinkles are okay!
Exactly my thought esp when it’s 100% cotton! With a dress like this, after wash just shake it couple times, smooth the wrinkles out, hang it to dry and you will be good to go. I do this even with my button downs when I’m too lazy to iron/steam lol
I had the exact same thought. I haven't been able to wear poly in a while due to some skin issues. I wear a lot of linen and a lot of cotton and I keep my iron out essentially all the time to accommodate this!
On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, not all cotton is equally wrinkly. Some super lightweight woven cotton is basically unwearable in my experience. But if it has a nice weight to it, it tends to wrinkle less. I think knits are also a bit less wrinkly.
I don't mind ironing but I've had a few skirts that look like they've been sitting balled up in the bottom of a laundry basket a few hours after putting them on even if I iron with starch. It's just cheap thin material I think that's the issue
Fabrics that wrinkle are usually more breathable too. Linen is very wrinkly but super breathable and soft, which is totally a trade off I’m willing to make!
A woman from India recently told me that Organic cotton is basically a scam. That it’s basically very cheap cotton from India being labeled as “organic” and marked up to a very expensive price point for North Americans and Europeans. Thoughts?
There are certification programs, such as OEKO-TEX. This is an excerpt from Aritzia's own documents. So essentially, they put onus on the suppliers and while not all do, some do provide fraudulent certifications for the sake of getting the contract. There are some companies doing it right, but they're usually much smaller scale. "2.1 COTTON • Aritzia will preferentially source more sustainable cotton, namely organic, transitional, recycled , and BCI. • As members of the Better Cotton Initiative, Aritzia will at times require BCI credits from our Suppliers. • Any materials containing organic materials will require certification (GOTs or OCS) to independently validate feedstock sources."
"organic" and "natural" are misnomers and are just marketing tactics. they dont use chemicals or pesticides but they will use other fertilizers and manure and growth enhancers regardless, how else can they produce that much volume? manufacturers will just pay a board to slap organic on the label. there are so many instances of fraud in terms of organic food i wouldnt be surprised if the same is for cotton
as of two weeks ago BCI has been linked to illegal deforestation, human rights abuses and land grabbing in Brazil. these boards mean nothing and just provide a little logo on the tag to make yourself feel better
Thank God I taught myself to sew YEARS ago and now have the skill and everything I need to pretty much make anything I like. I don't have this kind of budget but I def take inspo from videos you make😂
Ugh see through pants. I have been on the hunt for cute summer pants or shorts that are not see through and it's proving to be impossible. As if it wasn't already hard enough to find ones that fit well now I have to worry about them being see through too 🙄
Can you do some review of men's clothes? Maybe from some higher end stores? Love your videos and would love to learn from you how to shop better quality clothing as a guy 😅
Lol Why bother? Every review: looks cheap, poorly made and wrinkles. There might be a few buttons on some errant garment that are acceptable, otherwise she is chronically disappointed.
men's clothes seem better quality to me, the men's jeans i got from Walmart several months ago are still so comfy and don't have a single hole, meanwhile the women's jeggings i got at the same time are literally falling apart even though i wear them way less since they're really annoying to put on :/
Half of the stuff at Aritzia looks really cheap. I've been there before, and I wasn't impressed. The linen pants, see-through dresses, and other items aren't flattering on the body at all. I'd rather purchase clothes from somewhere else.
I wish I could shop at aritzia but with my body shape I need to shop in person and I was body shamed by the staff and they implied that someone with my body shape didn’t belong there, same with my friend. There’s a reason they only carry up to a 10 in stores and it’s because they don’t you in there unless you’re a twig
That sucks that they were rude to you but we don't need to refer to people size 10 and under as "twigs" either... We can all agree retailers are all kinds of messed up.
@@timeiswhat I agree that these retailers are messed up and I apologize that my comment may have come off as calling anyone under size 10 a twig, I personally am below that right now and am far from resembling a pole. I meant to call out styles and sizes that exclusively cater to thin and not-curvy women. Not to mention that far more women are a size 12 than 00 yet they only carry the latter in stores. I think it can just get hard to see so many people and creators raving about this brand and then to try to shop there and find that I am not welcome in their stores because I don’t resemble the right body type to them.
I personally wouldn't support aritzia, since they bought reigning champ my mom is getting layoff from the factory in Vancouver, as they are moving the factory to Vietnam 😤
Don’t forget the body shaming from the brand itself and the stores! Even the employees have been guilty of this in my experience. The whole community mirror with them making comments does a number on your self esteem when you’re a size 8 and curvy.
Fast fashion. Looks like target. Not modern. I’m confused by all of this and the prices. I’m confused you’d think a handkerchief hem is in style and one can buy all of these things at the thrift store. Organic cotton means very little. Who is buying this stuff???
I absolutely hate handkerchief hems. It will always be a dated "Karen" style to me. I don't care what your age is. If you wear this style, I assume you want to speak with a manager every time you leave the house.
This feels soooo 2008 or something still so weird to see these price on these styles
It’s weird to see this kind of price tag on styles I owned as a broke teen 😂
Yes!! I was just thinking this!
Literally I can’t fathom spending $200 on these pieces.
If you used to shop at Sears as a kid all these styles look super familiar
😂😂😂
But you add a zero to the end 🥺
I remember a many back to school shopping days at Sears 🥹
It reminds me of cheaper styles you'd find at a toursty shop. Their prices are wild.

I picture these dresses and skirts with gladiator sandals....

I have seen fabric tests done on “organic cotton” and it was mostly viscose…

A lot of these remind me of clothes I got in India for much cheaper
These all look like things I wore in grade school 😭 lol that would be 80's to early 90's...lol love it.💜🔮🌱🐾
Everything looks like a nightgown except for the red
Looks like F21 when I was in high school.
Ugh see through pants. I have been on the hunt for cute summer pants or shorts that are not see through and it's proving to be impossible. As if it wasn't already hard enough to find ones that fit well now I have to worry about them being see through too 🙄
I've given up and just got skin colored undies. Solved the problem but where are all the opaque white pants???
The prices of clothes in the US seem ridiculous, in Japan our clothes are so much better and high quality, yet the prices are much lower.
In the 70’s you’d pick dresses like the first one, imported from India, for a tenner. I had one just like it. Nothing’s new in fashion!!!
Can you do some review of men's clothes? Maybe from some higher end stores? Love your videos and would love to learn from you how to shop better quality clothing as a guy 😅
Glad I can skip that collection after seeing your review! I’m more of a linen & clean lines Sans boho. Can you do Madewell review next?
Lol Why bother? Every review: looks cheap, poorly made and wrinkles. There might be a few buttons on some errant garment that are acceptable, otherwise she is chronically disappointed.
Time to sell my white ruffled "peasant skirt" from the early 2000s!
We need a male version of you

I m so shook at the prices !! Is this USA??
I have a very similar dress that I got at macys
Love this review
Only that eyelet dress caught my eye
Can you do a review at thrift stores of good clothes?
Can you review free people?
Could you Do Paul smith?

Aritzia is overrated rubbish anyway. You deserve better

Some of these look identical
to Legend’s collection from
last summer
Who OKed the hanky hem?
I’m not a fan. Looks silly.
these styles seem tired??? like free people was doing this same stuff like 7 years ago idk???
Made in Asia which is so funny
Iam used to seeing this style in second hand stores... it's definitely the type of clothes rich people wear to hide how rich they are...
Girl what’s up with your prononciation, you swallowed half of the words
Yes I agree. I love these videos, but the narration is hard to understand sometimes.
200 for cotton bro go to old navy wtf
Fast fashion. Looks like target. Not modern. I’m confused by all of this and the prices. I’m confused you’d think a handkerchief hem is in style and one can buy all of these things at the thrift store. Organic cotton means very little. Who is buying this stuff???
Go home handkerchief hems!
I absolutely hate handkerchief hems. It will always be a dated "Karen" style to me. I don't care what your age is. If you wear this style, I assume you want to speak with a manager every time you leave the house.
Overpriced and tooo simple… yeah I said it. And I bought lots from Aritzia
You know 200 for just cotton? For 200 i can grow cotton and make my own fabric
Such poor looking items...
Glad you think they are cute...
Looks like K-Mart stuff from the 1980's no one wanted! 😂
Why does everything look boring
