Synthetic fibers and what they're good at | FABRIC GUIDE | Justine Leconte

[@justineleconte]

Hi everyone! Enjoy the video & have a great rest of the week :-)

[@debasmitachaudhury7153]

Justine Leconte officiel thank you so much!

[@justineleconte]

PS: my sweater is pink, not orange ;-)

[@itsoneAM]

Justine Leconte officiel Hello from Mumbai, Justine. It's been 2 months now since I'm hooked to your channel and every video gets ever more interesting. I was never into fashion consumption because of the sheer madness that surrounds it so to say, but your presentations are so informative and engaging that I await every new video. If I may add to this topic on fabrics, in India, a new fabric named Liva has been introduced as a natural fabric. I am yet to look into how it's produced. I do own a piece made of Liva and must say, it's super soft, breathable and the skin loves it. In some ways its flowy, yet manages to keep shape. Thought it might interest you. Sending you lots of love and blessings. Needless to say, you are doing very good work. Keep enjoying! Quite liked your 1st collection. Looks chic and super comfortable. Hope to own a piece soon. Cheers!

[@rosa_li_ly]

Hi :) Do you know of any good alternatives to nylon (tights)? I do love to wear black tights, but they don't last very long, so I would love to find a more sustainable option (maybe even with a breathability). But I would like it to have a similar look to it. Have a good rest-week, too ;-)

[@enchantrezz642]

Awesome video! I love your channel's scope and depth :3 (I also wear black all the time ;P)

[@levantinex]

"The video would get really long" Honestly, I would watch you talk for hours about fabrics. I really love this series, it is exactly what I had hoped for! Thank for sharing your time and knowledge with us!

[@hannacainebraunschvig9947]

This colour is the one most flattering you ever wore on a video, complete with the makeup you have on (lipstick in the exact same shade!). You should wear it more often.

[@sarrahfanny]

I've noticed acrylic sweaters lose their shape fairly quickly. I'd love for you to do an updated video in this series focused on specific garments like sweaters, jeans, etc!

[@UnlimitedApathy]

I love this series! It's so much more informative than the random synthetic bashing you find online.

[@julijakeit]

synthetics aren't for everyone. I have sensitive skin that sweats a lot if the fabric is not breathable. But synthetics are cheaper version of silk and great for special occasion wear or, as mentioned, to strengthen the thin natural materials. Though the downside of mixed materials is that they are cannot be re-used and pollute the environment.

[@UnlimitedApathy]

Why can't it be re-used?

[@Wingedshadowwolf]

julijakeit I'm not even sure how you'd recycle unmixed fibers. Aside from cutting up the old garment to reuse the fabric for a new item, but that can be done with any fabric as long as it's still in good condition.

[@julijakeit]

wingedshadowwof, to my knowledge, the clothing recycling centers sometimes refuse to accept mixed fabrics due to the inability to reuse the material to make a new item. Old clothing in good conditions can always be sold or exchanged.

[@UnlimitedApathy]

Most used clothing is too worn to make into new items though? The items are usually chopped up and used it in completely different products like paper. And I googled around if mixed or synthetic fibers can be recycled and from what I've been able to find synthetic fibers definitely can be are are recycled, and while I couldn't find specific information on mixed fibers (though I only spent a few minutes tbh) I saw information that definitely implied that they could also be recycled like any other fabric (a lot of the items i saw described as recyclable fabrics usually use mix fabrics like jeans, most have some spandex, and t shirts.)

[@maliaamadison]

I have a test in my textile science class coming up and I found this series as a great resource. You presented the information better than my professors. Thank you.

[@rexflores8461]

What are you or were you studying?

[@May-qb3vx]

Since my brother started dating someone from the Midwest, she’s really helped me figure out what it was about the sweaters I have that makes winter so unbearable. The VAST majority of them lean heavy on acrylic and I noticed that those that have more acrylic in the mix are the ones that keep me coldest AND make me sweat. So when I’m already cold to start with and then I start sweating it’s just inviting hypothermia. In my circumstance with the way my body responds to acrylic, I’ve decided to cut down on the acrylics I allow in my closet. It’s really helpful to talk to folks from colder, hotter, more humid, etc climates when you struggle with keeping warm or cool or dry. People have been living in all those climates for centuries. They are a wealth of knowledge and if hearing from them helps you find clothes you will wear, it’s SO worth it. Really, the best clothes out there are ones that you wear and that support your way of life

[@MsRudo10]

When I started watching your fabrics series I thought to myself "This is boring. I don't sew... I don't care!" But I kept watching (something about your voice) and I really learnt a lot. I may not sew but I love clothes, I love my clothes and I have learnt so much about the different materials that my clothes are made of and how to take care of them. Truthfully I used to ignore those tags with the information ... and now I actually want to pay attention to it. I need to rewatch these and maybe even take notes!

[@merediththompson1538]

Very informative, Justine, thank you! We have to educate ourselves about fabrics because salespeople in shops don't seem to be trained on the basics of fabrics and cuts anymore.

[@Lighthouse1852]

So interesting! Justine, could you also tell us which fibers you consider to be the most environmentally gentle for the bulk of our wardrobe? It's difficult for consumers to decide whether this or that natural fiber is better (water, pesticides, dyes), or whether a synthetic is even worse (petrochemicals, non-biodegradable...) Obviously anyone who buys fewer pieces, and will repair rather than discard for prolonged wear, is also helping. But for fibers in daily wear I'd like to hear your expert thoughts. Some readers may get upset about these subjects, so skip it if you think it would be starting a fight. The most important thing is keeping the positive atmosphere you've built here.

[@lilaeia]

Sanni Judy Daria covers this in a series of videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLB_wHC_s02d5y4ZV3caFvoFYIuzI1_R0t 💖

[@Avene13]

Exactly my point. Synthetic fabrics aren't too good for the skin, the question is what is the actual damage (if you' re not allergic or have sensitive skin) and are mixed synthetic fabrics better for skin. It may seem that mixed fabrics are better than 100% polyester but I've heard that mixed fabrics are impossible to recycle later. So they may be even worse for the environment. I think more people should talk about this subject and it is very important in a time when we start to drown in trash and drinking microplastic.

[@gorejs8396]

Merci, Justine! I thought I knew all about synthetic fibers, butI learned a lot from this video. It’s helpful to hear about both the advantages & the disadvantages of the various fibers.

[@lizziesmith6280]

It's really impressive how much you know about the history and science of fashion!

[@justineleconte]

I love to research it - especially the fun facts around the "hard facts". Somehow that's the part I remember without trying ;-) Like the parachutes in nylon or the Saturday Night Fever suits in polyester...

[@amyphang8093]

Could you make a video on different types of fabrics like organza, satin, lace, etc? Tell us what they are good for, what they are normally used for and what kind of style or vibe it creates. It would be really helpful, thank you!

[@annas.5309]

I would love a continuation of the series on fibers!

[@pollydolly9723]

Fabulous colour on you Justine. And what a great primer on synthetic fibers, learn so much from you!

[@JeanFB16]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Justine!!!! Loved this video. I have been avoiding artificial fabrics in my clothing as much as possible. It was great to find out which artificial fibers are most breathable, and worth a try. Great series!

[@justineleconte]

+Jean FB thank you 💛

[@t-.-t.]

You should totally avoid acetate fabric. Its really bad for the skin. Rayon is super breathable..

[@raziyaansari7464]

Thanks it is very useful video for me

[@andreapowell01]

This is one of those channels where I’ll gladly watch all the ads, because I’m happy to support your hard work and creativity! Thanks for bringing educational, interesting content, Justine!

[@This-isGirl]

I don't know how I missed your fabric videos! So glad I found them. ALL your videos are so interesting and informative. You don't ramble randomly like many KZbinrs. Thank you for the grey background and the proper lighting too. I had to pause the video because I just HAD to tell you how complimentary your top is. The colour suits you perfectly. OK back to your video 😊

[@Avene13]

I have a question that even keeps me up at night. What about the most popular synthetic materials polyester and nylon? Should we get really worried about having most of our clothes made of it? Even underwear and bedding! It's even in some very popular baby cloth diapers right next to their vulnerable skin! Some sources claim polyester is really unhealthy and the worst fabric. But throwing these clothes out would create more trash that will never biodegrade. How actually damaging polyester (it is made from petroleum after all) is for human skin and would anything help to reduce the damage, like wearing organic cotton t-shirt under a garment made of synthetic fibers?

[@principeturandot4593]

This channel easily ranks as the best and most informative. How wonderful to learn these things about clothes and fabric. More wonderful is your way of explaining everything! Thank you for creating all of this. Slowly making my way through all your great videos. 🙏🏼👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️💯🏆🥇

[@kimberlee533]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You are a great teacher Justine!

[@bobis008]

I work in retail, so your videos really come in handy. But this one I LOVED! So informative, so easy to understand. You are great! :)

[@magimania]

Justine, I love this series! It's so interesting. Since you "confirmed" my intuitive preference of mixed fibers I'm so happy that it's not only a subjective impression but makes sense. One reason I avoid 100% synthetic fibers is the static charge.

[@andilewilliam4162]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a fashion student and needed to study different fibres, properties and characteristics for my textiles test the next day, very helpful and straight to the point briefings. Picked up so much information in a short period of time. I was able to put things together in my own understanding. Forever grateful!

[@llkoolbean4935]

Please take us with you on a field trip to see how a fiber is made!! That would be awesome.

[@rachelrobinowitz6279]

Wonderful information, thank you! That color is stunning on you. You look radiant.

[@maureenwebster9599]

Great refresher course. My father was a Mechanical enginer for the US gov. and i heard Alot about how fibers where made. Loved this....so mant have no inderstsnding of how fabric is made

[@amyeades9327]

My pre-teen & teen years coincided with the ascendancy of polyester in the 70s. Horrible! 😱 My mother, overworked & caring for 2 children, loved the wash & wear properties of it & how cheap it was. I could not stand it: it made me hot & sweaty & it was so rough against my skin. The crisis came when she purchased panties for me that were made of Ban-lon (I’ve no idea whether this fabric was in use in Europe or only the US). I tried them & I still remember how awful they were. So rough & they chafed in such a sensitive area. I flatly refused to wear them. It was a sore point between us for some time. I’m so glad that better alternatives are available now. 😊

[@pennproperty]

i enjoy your series on fabric, natural & synthetic. I work in mattress industry which is considered textile.

[@Mircheeky]

Finally, somebody understands me :)))) For a long time I’ve been feeling like I am the only one who is sensitive to artificial fibres and can only wear natural ones. Most people never bother looking for the composition of the garments, they rather care for the looks and colours.

[@marylynmiller5043]

Hello Justine. Thank you so much for keeping me informed. I absolutely love every single one of your videos. I starting watching you because my daughter is in school to be a fashion designer and i wanted to be able to talk to her about all things fashion but now i watch just because i love your style and your general way of being. I look forward to every video and watch them immediately when they come out so thanks again. You have been a great help in my life. I hope you never ever stop. 🌷 (fyi this is the one and only comment i have ever made on a video)

[@justineleconte]

yayyy! Thanks for giving ME your only comment! Have a great evening!

[@lingw0o0]

Love the series! Learning a lot, which helps decluttering and making better choices clothewise. Merci Justine :)

[@79Clochette]

I hate polyester soooooo much, unfortunately most of lovely prints are polyester so I used to fall for it. Never again, I feel so "bad in my skin" all day long as wearing it 😖 could you explain why some people say viscose is natural and others say it is not ? And why on earth sometimes viscose feels lovely on the skin all day long, and sometimes just as awful as polyester ? It varies soooo much from an item to another ! Thanks for the tips 🤗

[@lisakuduk4754]

Wow! Peach is your color! You look radiant!

[@SuperPeachy1989]

So much information packed into a 10 minute video. I find myself hearing the parts I find interesting again and again. Your videos are like attending a very important class and I'm attentive more than I was back in college. Lots of love from India.

[@justineleconte]

thanks for the huge compliment!

[@Snail_Nailz]

Spandex Add-On: Lyrca is brandname of DuPonts spandex fabric & can be indicator of higher quality spandex in bathing suits & panties (vs generic “elastane” fiber detail)

[@mai567]

So informative! As always. I was just about to write and ask you to talk about your preference in mixed fabrics and suggestions on what % is good and why....and then you announce it as the next video. :) Can't wait! :)

[@debbiewolfe9621]

Apricot is definitely your color. Looks great on you!

[@dresden]

I'm familiar with acrylic because I knit. Please more!! These videos are so interesting!!!

[@shirleyncesar]

I'm thoroughly enjoying this fabric series. Thanks!

[@shannonoldberg9731]

Awesome video! I've always been curious about some synthetic fabrics, really good presentation!

[@justineleconte]

+Shannon Oldberg thanks!

[@Venus77x]

I found this fascinating Justine, I very much enjoyed your very clear and articulate explanation of the composition of fabrics. I feel so much more informed now x

[@roomforapony1]

Listening and watching your videos is like a degree from FIA!

[@barbaraann7610]

You are incredible! Your knowledge is vast, your presentation clear, practical, and helpful; your manner delightful.

[@maureenbouey]

Really enjoyed this - you have a knack for making the complicated understandable, and such a lovely and friendly manner :) And this is the BEST colour (top and lips) I've seen on you yet - sooo flattering! xo

[@DansonforJoy]

Your videos are truly so educational and fascinating, Justine! Thank you for explaining about both natural and synthetic fibers. :)

[@Samantha2209]

You blew my mind with the nylon and the “click click click click” sound it makes when you stretch it.

[@judithbrighton3040]

Justine! Off topic - sorry! - but in your skin undertone video, you said you always avoid the color orange (unless I am mistaken). Yet you are wearing this lovely orange sherbet color, and it looks great on you!

[@GwenHembrock]

Interesting information. The only strange part was your description of rayon. Perhaps you only have one kind in Germany, but here all rayon isn't shiny, dry clean only, with no ironing. In fact I love rayon challis. It has a flat finish, and can be washed and ironed. I think it's currently a bit out of fashion, but I make washable pajama pants often out of wild rayon challis prints - often tropical or abstract patterns that you wouldn't wear on the street, but make an evening at home feel like a vacation. I liked learning the details of it's manufacture. I'd never given it much thought beyond knowing it was highly processed plant material.

[@viioso7502]

Love Naketano. The hoodie looks good on you. :)

[@Ruth_Rosa]

Super helpful series, thank you Justine!! Your explanations are so easy to understand 😄

[@patroberts185]

Justine - I think you said microfiber was an improvement for polyester. I thought that meant that that they didn't want us to know what was in the fabric🙄. I agree with most of the people who commented - synthetics are often itchy and some are staticky. I basically wear cotton knit shirts.

[@nancyoppegard6665]

Justine, really enjoyed this video. It was a good review of fabric types; learned about them in Jr. High School (1960's) and I'm still interested in all types of fabrics. Thanks for all your videos, they're excellent.

[@dinah1110]

i study textiles at college , and BIG thumps up to this , so informative and simple , thank you

[@o.o4566]

A lot of acrylic I’ve found feels scratchy. Most of my closet is knitted. I just like how soft knits are.

[@katrinepetersen2566]

Kwandaioha O.o I hate polyester! I don't know why, but it gets all electric, No matter how I treat it or what tips I use. I have the same problem with viscose Sometimes too. Unfortunatly, most shirts Are made from it. Mostly, in fast-fashion, but also very common in regular stores.

[@o.o4566]

Katrine Petersen if you’re in a dry area with less humidity you’ll have that issue more. When I moved from Florida to Maryland it was definitely noticeable with static increase. Kansas is in between.

[@katrinepetersen2566]

Kwandaioha O.o That's odd, because my country has a relative High humidity. We usually have a humidity percentage at around 80-85% I just checked the places You mentioned and This week Florida has 59-77% while Maryland has 37-70% I guess that Maryland has very different wheather which might explain why the Numbers Are so different.

[@o.o4566]

Katrine Petersen the humidity is low right now in the US because it is winter. In the summer the humidity will be higher.

[@o.o4566]

Katrine Petersen also Maryland is a lot farther north and colder than Florida. And a different climate. Florida is tropical and sub tropical. It took me 17hours driving to get from my old apartment in Florida to where I moved in Maryland. That’s pretty far. Especially for going up.

[@christinatalanda2320]

wow. so many variations. interesting to learn more about these fabrics. I can tell by the feel of some clothing : cheap cheap cheap!!!!! but some of the colors are really beautiful. tks Justine and enjoy your week. :). see you in your next post.

[@bernadettevilloria9648]

Hi Justine! I just want to know if there's already a sequel to this video? I'm trying to make better choices for my clothing, and information is key. Would love to watch more. Thank you.

[@salvaaltea8103]

Its so refreshing to see you on clothes that is not black! This color look fabulous on you! 😚 Question, what's the lipstick you're wearing? Can't find it in the description box.

[@jocbaker]

Thank you, very informative and I noted the comment about oils bonding with poly. I stopped using dryer sheets years ago and dry much less than I used to. I'm trying to get my family on board with care of clothing especially activewear.

[@AnnoulaXeni]

I also am finding this series wonderful. This particular episode was unexpectedly interesting and at least somewhat lessened my prejudice against synthetics. I'd love you to explain the care required for two of my favorite synthetics: microfiber and also fleece (polyester, right?), as well as their characteristics, of course.

[@laurietaft8206]

Justine, I love your videos and they are brilliantly informative. Keep them coming!

[@Channel29andHalf]

Hi Justin..can you please make more videos on types of fabrics and the best methods to use them in designing clothes?

[@ruzzelladrian907]

This is why I love this channel.

[@upandadams9492]

Even though I loved casually following fashion trends, shows, and magazines as a girl, I definitely learned the most about fabrics when my husband got into mountaineering. When the only thing between you and the elements is the clothing on your back, it's amazing how quickly one can educate him or herself. ;-)

[@ladannourbakhsh4289]

I have to ask if you're talking about the acetate that predates rayon, and is the same as rayon in many respects, I've it's a cellulose fibre and most of its qualities eg being weak when wet but very breathable are the same as rayon....I collect vintage and acetate was a popular fabric as was rayon. I like all your videos, very informative and thought provoking.

[@briana5002]

i love this series!! it's something that's super helpful but i almost never hear youtubers talk about (besides the common "natural is better than synthetic" claim)

[@AliciaAbraham]

Thank youuu!! And my favourites are polyester spandex and polyacrylic

[@m.h.4912]

quick conclusion: -rayon wrinkle easily alternative for silk, to make clothing cheaper e.g. silk outside, rayon inside need dry cleaning, can’t be ironed -acetate = thermal plastic -> can shape anyway you want if heat it up usually used to make cheap dresses and evening gown cheapest fabric very shiny problem: can’t be ironed, hard to take care of -nylon usually made for tights tights = finely knitted nylon strong, wind breaker, resistant problem: very unbreathable -polyester hydrophobic, doesn’t take water -> doesn’t wrinkle strong, flexible -> good to mix with other fragile fiber to make them stronger problem: retain oil (oilpholic) -> doesn’t work well with ppl who have oil skin, sweat a lot; difficult to remove an oil stain if spoil on a clothing usually doesn’t used 100% in a clothing, unless it’s microfiber (improved polyester) more breathable e.g. gortex: waterproof, breathable, windproof -> used for outdoor wear -acrylic alternative to wool, usually mixed with wool to make clothing cheaper and lighter feels and peels like wool adapt to temperature outside problem: not 100% comfortable as wool -spandex = rubber no clothing is made with 100% spandex, just a few (2-5%, rarely more than 10%) to make clothing stretchier, e.g. skinny jeans 95%cotton, 5% spandex can’t see when closely look: usually just a thread mixed in the middle of other fabric, can tell if the clothing can be stretched a lot problem: cheap spandex(can’t tell when buy it) becomes stiffer overtime, even more if you use it more e.g. breaking elastic parts of old underwear -modacrylic used to make fake fur --- please make corrections if there’s anything wrong in my notes! Justine thank you sooooo much for all of the videos and information you share with us☺️ Now I know I will be able to know more about a garment by reading its label and make a smarter decision next time when I go shopping. I have learned a lot of fashion ideas from you, and absolutely love your elegance and warm personality❤️

[@mdavisscadedu]

Wow! I just found out about your series, Justine I learned so much from this video. As I do from all the videos of yours that I have watched. Great work.

[@pianocatkatarina3960]

again - great, funny and HIGHLY APPRECIATED! and yes, you look amazing in this salmon-colour hoodie .... shiny girl!

[@tristandevereaux4867]

Love this series!! The knitted fur swatches were especially interesting. I loved hearing a bit of the history of each fabric also.

[@justineleconte]

thanks!

[@thefirstangel3797]

I just love it when u smile...pls smile often! Thank u for the informative video, I did enjoy it!

[@olfakhou1552]

bonjour Justine. je découvre vos vidéos depuis qq heures et je ne m'en lasse pas. Mais c'est tellement frustrant de ne capter qu'un mot sur 3 quand on n'est pas bilingue! surtout pour la vidéo qui concerne les tons et sous-ton de peau pour apprendre à mieux choisir ses couleurs, elle est très complète, j'aurais vraiment aimé avoir la version en français.

[@thejillykilly]

Love these informative videos.. This is the first time in my life I'm hearing about these fabrics.. Keep them coming..

[@JiaPia3]

A pair of my favorite pants (white flowy chiffon) are polyester. When I found out, I almost didn't buy it as it was very expensive and polyester isn't that much! I wanted them so much, though. The mannequin drew me in right away. I truly wanted to get rid of all polyester in my wardrobe. Anyway, I tired the pants on and they breathe, they're so soft, and they fall perfectly. I had to buy them. Screw the expense. I'm glad to know polyester isn't the devil. Makes me feel better about my purchases. I've noticed that a few high-end pieces have polyester in them. I was really surprised. Not so much anymore, thanks to you. Great videos. I watchrd the entire series, and I learned so much. If you do see this amoung the seas of comments--how and why did you start using KZbin for yourself?

[@bravery2047]

thanks for explaining it so clearly and simply.

[@halatrebwar7520]

You are a perfect teacher in fashion 👨‍🏫 i just love you

[@caart6317]

Tell me about Viscose!! Is it synthetic too? Thanks!

[@catherinesapsford9881]

Wonderful series on fabrics. Really enjoying the information. Thank you!

[@forisma]

Hi Justine, thank you for an intresting video again. The only thing, a "natural" argument is quite disturbing, I don't see it as a worthy argument. After all, wearing clothes is unnatural as well. As riding cars, sitting behind the computer and so many other things. I prefer it when the focus is on real arguments, like function, breathability, shape and so on. You certainly touched on that, thank you, and still, this "natural" thing is annoying to me as I hear it all the time, but it's really a non-argument. Acrylic fiber feels just great to me, and I would never think of wearing a wool fabric ever again, knowing the cruelty behind the wool. Thanks again for your educational videos, I learn a lot new things!

[@XXXkazeXXX]

forisma natural as in comes from the nature

[@lusinkav]

hello, i love your videos, you are always choosing interesting and fascinating topics. I especially love the series about fabrics :) it is always hard for me to choose a fabric when i decide to sew a skirt or shirt. In 50% of cases, i choose wrong, and then the shirt doesnt feel quite right, skirt is too heavy, and so on. Thanks to you, not anymore. And one more thing, i was always afraid to use viscose and these type of materials, not anymore. Thank you, you are pleasing (i hope i used correct word, for english is my second language) to watch. I always feel relaxed and comfortable i would say.

[@lullycartier1012]

Hi Justine! Could you o a video on best shoes to take on trips!?

[@1christianGal]

Very interesting. Thanks so much for making the video!

[@Dibdib35]

You really suit that colour you’re wearing. Another great video Justine, very informative thank you 💕

[@AshleyWagnerArts]

Video request: fabrics that are good for pet owners :) This series has already given me some ideas, but I'd love to see something specifically focused on fabrics that don't attract pet hair. I work from home and have 2 very affectionate cats, and I've struggled for years to find clothes I enjoy wearing/look professional that I can keep cat-hair free. I'd love to hear your recommendations! Thank you for making such informative and well-crafted videos - I really enjoy your content and personality!

[@Petra73387772VPEMFK]

I really enjoy watching these videos! So concise and pleasant to listen to. Looking forward to pay more attention to fabrics when shopping next time :)

[@mayadestyle]

I absolutely love fabric gorgeous fabric that is. Please continue with this series and would love to know know more about which fabric fibers are better to mix

Hi Justine! Just discovered your channel! We have so much in common: I'm French and I love fabrics… And I have an english speaking channel too!!! Please make more videos!! So nice!!!

[@absloutelyRasha]

thank you Justine for these advice. I am educating myself because of you about the healthy materials options. Mecri ^-^

[@Linksmyhero1210]

Very informative, thank you. Could you make another video like this and talk about polyamide and synthetic dyes? I was also wondering if you know anything or could talk about the health impacts of wearing synthetic fibers and dyes?

[@s.g.1206]

i noticed that synthetics tend to get smellier at the end of the day more than natural fibers, so i usually wear a natural fiber layer underneath if i need to wear a blazer or something.

[@lilcat218]

Very helpfull for beginners 😊❤ love it

[@coldqueen9255]

The video would get really long? Oh, never! I love watching your videos so much.

Hi Justine! Is there any way you could make a list of your favorite fabrics? Or maybe even a video on your top 10?

[@cherriesnhoney]

great video, thank you. i always get so confused with what the difference is between rayon, viscose etc and what is natural or synthetic. good explain on rayon. tfs:)
