Great video. Super informative. That extra fabric strip that is sews around the edge is called binding. A French seam is when you sew the seam with wrong sides together first, then flip it so that right sides are together and sew it again. It makes it a very strong seam and you can see it in high quality sheer garments.

Great video. The pants pocket treatment is called a bias bound seam or edge. A French seam is when the garment is fist sewn with the wrong sides together leaving a rough edge on the outside of the garment. Then the right sides of the fabric are sewn together encasing the rough edge inside. This is often done on sheer fabric where surged edges would then be seen on the outside of the garment

Great video!! I thought I knew a lot about fabrics already but I learned so much. I can't emphasize enough how important good material and good cut is when you're trying to build a great wardrobe. My style game upgraded considerably once I switched to natural fibres. Some items like linen blouses or trousers I do like to be a Lyocell mix because it drapes better on my body. My cashmere "journey" started with second hand and once you have felt that feeling you can never go back. Especially those wonderful cashmere/silk blends. ugh divine!

You were suggested on my home page earlier this month and I've been binging your videos ever since haha. Earlier in November as I was researching brands and items for my Black Friday/week shopping list, your videos have helped me be more selective about my wishlist and investing in quality pieces. This is the first year I've felt happy with all the purchases I have kept (with a few returns when I didn't love the fit or how the material felt i.e. 100% wool coat from J Crew felt too heavy and wasn't the dark black I was wanting). I am loving my wardrobe again because I'm being intentional about how the pieces fit into my lifestyle, and investing in quality. :) Thanks again for making these informative videos. My husband even said recently "I've been loving your new style"

When I was young (many years ago 😂) I couldn’t afford to buy many clothes and I made the decision then to buy the best quality natural fabrics I could afford. This resulted in a small wardrobe but consisting of pieces that were comfortable to wear and looked good, and although I can now buy much more I tend to stick to my “fewer items but better quality” ethos. This is a brilliant video which is so informative and hopefully will help many other people find their way out of the fast fashion trap. Thank you Adeline

Such terrific information! The covering around the pocket is called binding usually cut on the bias to wrap smoothly around curves and folded in half so both sides cover the edges of a seam or pocket. French seaming is a technique for making seams which hides the raw edges. Hope this helps. Claire

Even if you're going to buy something new, check if it's available to thrift and if it seems to have held up. Use specialty detergent for wool and stretch fabrics, and gentle conditioner for cashmere and silk. Know yourself. I don't buy silk, because I'm too rough on it, and I never buy poly or acrylic knitwear, even in blends, it looks bad too quickly. A little in a coat can be okay. Also stretch fabric does not last. The more stretch, the more temporary an item it is.

Thank you for such an informative video! Your tips on identifying high-quality garments and embracing the buy less, but better philosophy truly resonate with me. I wish more brands would prioritize transparency by showing the inside of their garments and offering 360-degree views to highlight how pieces drape on models. Since 2019, I’ve been curating a slow-fashion capsule wardrobe with carefully selected pieces, and while it’s a rewarding process, it can be frustrating to wait years to find just the right item. It would be fantastic if influencers could educate viewers not just on the style but also on the quality of the fabrics, the construction techniques (like French seams or bias cuts), and how pricing reflects material costs versus branding. Brands like LilySilk are great examples-they use natural fibers and meticulous sewing techniques (French seams), making their garments just as beautiful inside as out. On the flip side, fast fashion’s serged seams and synthetic blends often compromise comfort and longevity. No wonder those pieces rarely get worn more than once! Let’s keep the conversation about quality and sustainability going-slow fashion is worth it. #SlowFashion #BuyLessBuyBetter #SustainableStyle #QualityOverQuantity #NaturalFibres #CapsuleWardrobe #LilySilk #InsideAndOut #FashionEducation #FrenchSeams #TimelessFashion

Lots of great info in this video. You also have some beautiful pieces of clothing! The cable cardigan is gorgeous. I have worn more cashmere this year and can recommend Bompard for good quality. I recently started knitting again after many years and love this as I can choose the wool type and tailor it somewhat (eg shorten the lengths of jumpers to a more cropped style). It truly feels the antithesis to fast fashion as the pieces take a while and effort to create. Thank you for uploading. New subscriber!

This is a really amazing video and definitely a follow up about other fabrics would be much appreciated! One thing that still confuses me is that my mother knits, and I asked her to make a winter vest for me. At the store, they sell "wool" to knit with, but the label says 100% acrylics. Sometimes a mix of cotton and acrylics. So...I'm still confused about that. Now I dont know what to think when I see things labelled as wool.

Hi Adeline. Thanks for the great video. Funny that you talk about manufacturers saying there is more cachemire or wool content than there actuallly is in the garment. It reminds me of food manufacturers who for example sell bread and put on the front of the packet that it's spelt bread and when you look at the ingredients there is only actually 5% spelt content. It means you really have to read all the labels carefully and take your time shopping.

Polyester linings are a huge problem, I won’t buy anything with them. Silk is rarely used for linings these days but rayon/viscose is an acceptable substitute because, unlike polyester, rayon is breathable. I think many would benefit from a video on the “semi-synthetic” fiber fabrics, better called the “manmade cellulosic fibers”. These involve some chemical processing but are far superior to the plastics (i.e. synthetics) in almost every way because they’re made from plant fibers, not petrochemicals. PS, the superior pocket seams you show are called “bound seams” or “bias-bound seams”. French seams are different.

Angry about polyester in some clothes? I have much more to be angry about. To have structure in anyway, some things need it, it's good to be aware, but to only demand natural fibers in all things, is missing the point. We are transitioning, just like with our cars and transport, we are moving in the right direction. Don't miss that point.

Added to that - the greenwashing rage of "recycled from plastic bottles." In Canada at least, plastic bottles are in a closed loop recycling system - meaning that nearly 100% of plastic bottles get recycled into new plastic bottles, basically into infinity. When we take plastic bottles out of that system to make non-recyclable clothing, how on earth does that benefit the planet?

The issue I have is that my weight and body yoyos so what fits now may not fit in 6 months or 12 months, so either I buy 3 of the same things in 3 different sizes all the time or I buy for the now

As well as fake buttons and fake pockets are fake ties and belt loops - I know one store that loves to do belt loops at the front of trousers, but none at the back, for instance. How does that work? I'd rather they just had belt loops all round or none at all! Fake ties are just downright annoying (e.g. pyjama bottoms)

Do you use fabric shaver on your knitwear? I have a 100% wool cream turtle neck from ARKET and it's not really pilling but it's catching a lot of stray fabric from other layer and I am not too sure how to go about this :/

Sounds like you might need one of those sticky roller things that pick up all the fluffy stuff? www.amazon.co.uk/Vinabo-Rollers-Remover-Clothes-Peeling-60/dp/B0CL2837M5/ref=asc_df_B0CL2837M5?mcid=b51d288819663befba1980b59acfad7d&th=1&psc=1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697298965825&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5532430783688355038&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9193350&hvtargid=pla-2270669748707&psc=1&gad_source=1

I wish I can stay away from polyester, but I’m very sensitive to wool and to ironing my clothes.

It's helpful to have brand suggestions so you know you're getting quality. Do you have any brands/stores you can recommend for high quality in Canada?

I would be interested in a more in depth explanation about higher quality polyester. I am an environmentalist. And I see a reason to use polyester in clothing if it is recycled material. We made all this plastic as humans, it’s apparently here to stay. We should use it as many times as we possibly can as we transition to newer ways.

I've never had a problem wearing polyester growing up in a dry climate. Since moving to London, it's almost unbearable to wear. I wear it in the cold, then get on the boiling hot tube and start sweating, and i feel the layer of sweat just sitting on my skin. Its so gross

As a naturally sweaty person living in London... Yes. The tube is the worst place to overheat!!

How about your gym clothes? I hardly find cotton or wool, mostly like polyester
@AdelineLoke
@AdelineLoke 22 күн бұрын
I haven't found any natural fibre gym clothes. Cotton absorbs sweat so not the best material to wear. Synthetics are used in gym clothes as it's very stretchy and durable, so good for lots of gym movements. I just limit what I buy and make sure that I take care of it so that it lasts for a long time and I don't have to keep re-buying. I've also shopped from places like Girlfriend Collective that seem to be a more ethical solution - they use recycled plastic and less harsh dyes. x

It's too bad that Quince doesn't ship to the UK. They carry a lot of pieces in natural materials at very reasonable prices because they cut out the middle man and sell directly to the consumer. I own several of their pieces and their quality is very nice.

Not all synthetics are bad in clothing. Synthetic thread is FAR superior to cotton thread, and athletic wear has been revolutionized. It's important to balance the strengths of synthetics and that of natural materials.

I wish there were more creators who explain slow fashion as well as you do. I check the fabric content, country of production and try to investigate how they treat their workers. check out the brand PESERICO. Wonderful pieces, produced only in Italy, respect their workers, awesome quality.
