Coming from an immigrant family, I would never buy clothings for that amount of money, even if I can afford it. I would feel guilty about the things I could do to help someone with 200€. 😢

[@theshabbyrose]

Wait for the store sales...that is when the garments become resonable. Yes the dress may be out of season, but then you ware it for the next season. Save money, wait for sales, then enjoy the item more because of a good deal.

200$ for a dress isn't reasonable to most average people 😬

compared to Zimmerman prices, it IS reasonable. Hence the comparison. Use common sense. This video is about ZIMMERMAN DUPE, NOT "what is good for the average person"

As an Aussie. Forever New is expensive and has terrible polyester fabric sadly. Not very good ethically.

It is not an ethical brand

[@belleramaisa6568]

🇿🇦Forever new has beautiful clothing and I agree the sowing is top notch but they use a lot of polyester. If you need an occasional dress, it’s perfect but it’s not a store for everyday pieces. In SA I would say it priced similar to Zara

[@jsvilhena]

Real. People don’t realize that if a garment is lasting you 5+ years you can afford to buy a few a year, also, no need to have new clothes every month or for every new occasion and that only became common bc of exaggerated consumerism. Yes there’s a lot of people who can’t afford it but they’re probably working 10+ hour shifts instead of watching youtube shorts about fashion and complaining lol

[@kyla8386]

@@Chee235 it is reasonable, stop buying 10 $20 plastic dresses and buy one nice one that you’ll take care of, then in 6 months buy another one. Ppl who are broke are constantly shopping and buying crap that they’ll throw out instead of investing in actual pieces

[@kyla8386]

@@jsvilhena facts, if people bought clothes like how we used to, fast fashion wouldn’t be a problem. You’re supposed to save up and buy what you need and take care of it, not shop once a month for garbage that you’re going to throw in a landfill.

Did you just say a $300 dress is very reasonable? I mean I guess in comparison to $1000 but still quite expensive but I guess it’s not slave labour making them. At least I’d hope

[@caseygreyson4178]

$300 for a dress is extremely reasonable. You need to remember that you are paying for the fabric, the thread, and the labor of the person making it. How long do you think it takes to make a dress? People who buy cheap clothes are either stupid/ignorant or choose to ignore the fact that those companies are using child slavery or cheap labor in other countries.

[@user-zt3pl6mt3e]

People got used to buying shit dresses for 20 dollars at places like shein and Zara. If you want quality dresses that you don't intend to throw out after 2 wears, then yeah expect to spend like 300 dollars. I'd rather buy one quality dress for 300 then 10 shitty trendy dresses for 30 each.

[@zafiraf4190]

I love Ever New too. But I would suggest avoiding any tops/dresses that has elastic straps. The elastic straps are pretty inconsistent in height because of the stretch and the weight of the dress I assume. I found a lot of them like that in store. I was pretty disappointed because the dress I wanted was very pretty with really nice fabric too.
