[@leylayucel9648]

In my experience, their quality difference is knits vs.wovens, actually, not tops vs. bottoms. Thats why the skirt was good quality, because it was made by their knitwear team / knitwear factories. I love their knitwear - amazing quality for the prices, but I bought a matching pant and top woven set from them, and the material was very thin, cheap polyester. Cute video. :)

[@aananditagurav8430]

Mia really went “if I could completely cover up these shorts they would look good” 😭😭😭

[@manedrain]

She's too nice

[@49er49]

Boy, my comment is a year too late, but maybe it will help someone. First, you really don’t know the quality until the item has been washed or dry cleaned. Second, a good hint that the quality isn’t so good is when stripes, plaids or checks aren’t matching at seams and pleats. I’ve been sewing since I could reach the machine foot pedal and it’s one of the first things I learned. Unfortunately, Cider fails the matching test.

[@cosmic1354]

this definitely helped me, thank you

[@RiRi-ku6xz]

Can you rec another affordable online shop?

[@halane4790]

No low cost fast fashion brand will have that type of quality (matching). For low cost clothes, wash always in cold and air dry. They are what they are.

[@InvisibleRen]

You gotta shell out big bucks for matching patterns at the seams. From Walmart to Target to low-end department stores, you will not find it. So, like, please don’t act like that’s an indicator of whether a piece is going to last someone a couple of seasons/years. It’s not an indicator of quality but of affordability for the working class.

[@alittlebitmaddy]

hey mia! would love to see some more sustainable companies featured on your channel. cider says they’re “sustainable” but they outsource production to china and a lot of their pieces can be found on aliexpress and other really bad fast fashion sites. they also steal designs from small brands! it’s such a hard thing to navigate but i know you care about sustainability and it would be great to see reviews of genuinely sustainable brands so we can see what products are worth investing money into! 💗💗💗

[@InvisibleRen]

They don’t outsource to China. They’re a Chinese company, iirc specifically based in Hong Kong. Some of their pieces are dupes of luxury brands, many of which are Asian but that’s normal in the industry. Unless you are at Macy’s or the high end brand itself, you will find dupes or pieces inspired by what’s on the runway or trending amongst elites. That’s how fashion has worked since even before ready-to-wear became mainstream. AliExpress is making those same knock-offs of high-end Asian brand products or trendy TaoBao clothes and SheIn is now knocking off original Cider designs. From what I have seen and researched, out of all the international China-based shopping sites that I’ve frequented since the 00s up to now, Cider has the most unique designs and is most trustworthy (aside from specific brands on Yesstyle). I do not put it past them to have stolen designs from small brands, so I can’t and won’t defend that. But for people who make less than $20KUSD a year, Cider is a great balance of affordability and ethics if you want to buy new online and not sacrifice self expression and style or quality. Plus it’s more sustainable to buy a Cider dress that lasts 2+ years than a Shein or AliExpress dress that only lasts a single season. Of course, buying secondhand through apps/sites like Vinted, Poshmark, Mercari, Cutsy, etc. is ideal.

[@Roasttrumpet]

I've ordered from cider twice and it has been a nightmare both times. Sizing is CURSED. Nothing is what size it claims even using their size charts, they don't match (I was ordering their larger sizes cause I have a big bust). Also their quality is terrible. You get 5 wears before things start to pull at the threads and wear. Cute stuff but unethically sourced as well. So envious yours was so much more successful! Go you x

Have you ordered from shein before? Which would you say is better?

[@talonice3289]

@@megancooper1394 have never ordered from cider, but i used to buy A LOT from shein Actually i gotta say that the majority of things had pretty okay quality, some fabrics were a little weird but some items had reeeally good quality surprisingly. Its important to go by their size measurement table tho I hope ur not gonna order from there but if u do it anyways - maybe bc u dont have a lot of money - then heres at least my input :)

[@cjo7277]

Finally a worthy comment. Thank you for that. Most of the other comments are about how much we should "appreciate the little tags she made and her spending money for us".

[@mvp1839]

Mia, you should do a Stitchfix or similar style box with your Mom but you order one box for yourself and then you order a box for her describing her style from your perspective and have her do the same, one for her and one for you. Would love to see what they send and how they differentiate between your two probably similar descriptions/style profiles!

If you don’t like channels that are about style and entertainment then don’t watch them. There are plenty of political alarmist channels you could watch if that’s your thing. People watch Mia to relax and she does great work bringing joy to stressed people by focusing on more frivolous topics. Clothes are a universal experience and something that can unite people from all over the world and of every political stance. If you don’t like the unity and relaxation Mia’s channel creates, again, don’t watch.

I've gotten to a place where I'm just not comfortable purchasing fast fashion brands anymore. I'm trying to find more sustainable brands to support and also know which to avoid so it's always helpful to know when there's a lack of production sustainability info for a brand! 🌼

That's why I don't buy fast fashion anymore and only thrift. It's more unique, sustainable, and affordable.

[@brooklynbound0]

@Mandi W there’s still online thrift stores. I don’t even shop in physical thrift stores most of the time, I usually buy through depop. People say depop clothes are expensive but many sellers are very reasonable, give discounts for bundles and negotiating is an option most of the time. Remember clothes are a want not a necessity unless it’s something like a winter coat to protect you against the cold or clothes to last you at least a few days to a week. Besides that it’s all just for styling reasons or to give you more options. Save up your money for an opportunity where you can thrift if online isn’t an option either. If you truly care, you can commit to the cause. I personally can not go back to fast fashion after finding out the truth of how they’re made, it’s disgusting

[@SvobodovaEva]

It's clothes from China = never sustainable. These "cool" brands never show any people behind them, that's usually the clue.

Hi Mia. I've been watching your videos for years and really love the how they have evolved. As others have said it would be really nice to hear your thoughts on the sustainability of these companies. One key thing that I would love is to know what the fabrics are. You are always so good and describing the feel and texture but it would be so helpful to know if the fabric is synthetic (polyester etc) or something like cotton and viscose. I try to avoid synthetic fabrics unless they are recycled so this information would be so helpful in your videos and would help raise awareness so that people can make their own informed decisions. Keep being wonderful - your videos bring me so much joy xxx
