The Truth About Zero Waste Fashion: What you need to know?

[edwinisms]

i get such a sense of primal envy when looking at edwin’s clothes up close because god you can just tell his coat is real wool and made to last and not cheap flimsy mass produced garbage and auggagghhhh that was just STANDARD in his time. by no means am i saying i was #borninthewronggeneration because i like having vaccines and household appliances but. man. to have a personally-tailored coat like that that’d last for years and years……. and fabrics of fine thread-dense quality………. if only

[friendly-neighborhood-goblin69]

spent the past two days embroidering my jeans that i was kinda tired of! it was soo nice i haven't taken the time to personalize or alter my clothing in a while and it just makes me enjoy wearing it so much more. this is a thing that i did! no one else did this these are my strawberries that i embroidered! yayayay.

this is ur sign to go embroider something it's really easy if it's small! i am no artist and i did this with just a little bit of concentrating (with a video essay in the bg ofc).

I'm so tired... but I must doodle Rita with short hair before I sleep~~

Everyone's reactions:

Kaguragi: full approval (but will 100% tease them and try to ask for why the sudden image change)

Jeramie: surprised but finds it cute (think his reaction to their scream in 19 in terms of reaction shift). Will also try to ask for writing purposes 😂

Yanma: trying not to stare as he tries to figure out what happened and if the Supreme Justice is really the type to cut their hair much shorter than routine trims since he only saw them with that same medium-long cut.

Gira: surprised at first, probably the first to comment on it and compliment them. (Maybe mention it suits their whole face since he seems to be the only one who ever saw it even if it was for niramekko)

Himeno: speechless, imagining every possible outfit she would have her servants pick up for Rita to try on as well as what hairstyles she would try on them with their new hair. Will probably know why the cut happened.

Morfonia: babygirl just relishing in the new change and hoping she can take photos of the two of them pretending to be twins with opposite aesthetics now that they have matching lengths.

I’m so happy with this project, not just because it’s all in shades of pink, but also because I managed to upcycle some beloved pieces.

I always start by combining colors and patterns. Then, I test simple layouts with vertical cuts and generous proportions, adjusting them in front of the mirror until they feel balanced on my body.

Here, I transformed 6 pieces into 4 fun and unique ones. Wearing them feels so special!

Blouse with vertical cuts to merge two pieces with very different prints, but a great color combination.

And a vest made from leftover pieces, which I enlarged and hand-painted to enhance the existing details.

I’m a big fan of mixing materials, giving it this patchwork-like vibe.

Would it be wrong of me to thrift some stuffed animals for their weighted pellets stuffing and skin?

You're scrolling on tiktok and you see a very large bodied woman shown browsing through a thrift shop, and in a quick montage, she pulls out 3 shirts of complementary fabric.

The audio cuts in with a soothing speaking voice of an alto pitch in pillow talk timbre

"Hello and welcome to another of my fashion edit videos where I breathe life back into ill cut clothing. I think it's very important to the environment to not cave into fast fashion or big box stores, so I love using and demonstrating my sewing skills to reuse clothes and so modify them to fit my needs. Some of you might think that these shirts won't give me enough fabric this time-"

During this part of the monologue we can see that the shirts and dress purchase are all shown to be XS, M, and S in that order. One of the tags also lists Aeropostale, and the dress is from Tommy Hilfiger.

"-but I didn't tape my measuring the fabric in the selection montage. I think we'll be fine today. Again, environmentalism is very important to me so I make sure that all pieces I select are excess clothing that nobody ever buys are used exclusively in my videos. Did you know that the Atacama desert is filled with shirts and dresses just thrown away? As a person who worked retail, I can tell you the majority of clothes that we get rid of from clearance racks are eXtra Small, Small to Medium sizes and when they don't sell, they get thrown into a box, hauled onto a trailer and shipped off who knows where. It's incredibly wasteful."

The montage of sewing clips shows how the host deftly interweaves the different fabrics into a design that is more structured than the 2 shirts were before, and it takes on a pleasing appearance. The small dress that was previously a plain blue sleeveless floor length shift conveniently provides 4 equally sized rectangles once its seams are ripped and the dress is cut in half. The panels are measured on screen. A left hand appears on screen, displays the panels weighted, and snaps their fingers to show the pattern fitted to the blocks of fabric. The pieces of paper are centered on each block, with very wide margins around the edge of the paper. Very wide as the hand runs across them to caress the pattern. Nearly as wide as the hand on screen on all sides. The fingers snap again and the pattern pieces are cut, the excess trimmings floofed into a corner.

"So you'll see today I've made the shirts into this marvelous bustier and will proceed to add some beads by hand"

The Large woman wears the two prior shirts styled into a corset top. The top itself looks neatly constructed. She is holding the beads to the camera, they will look very nice beaded onto the designs of the fabrics used and might make the complementary fabrics more cohesive. She pulls away from the camera and prepares for the final reveal of the finished piece. Her stomach & hips are wide but flattened by the top. The skirt is a wider flare than expected, perhaps the cuts were repositioned?

No matter. The video cuts back awkwardly after the beading, as the author used the jump cut, but it is amazing to behold. It sparkles, it shimmers, it IS more cohesive.

"And I really think this is amazing, probably my best work yet. Thank you so much for following along, like, share & subscribe, and let me know what you'd like me to make from selvage next time. Here's some fabric previews." Three fabrics are quickly flashed onscreen centering on pinks. "Buhbiiiiiiieeeee." The large woman tilts her head to the side and blows a kiss to the camera. You look a little closer at her face.

She seems older than you thought.

sewing is harder than I remember

i find it really funny that allan and midge - canonically married in barbie lore, there was a wedding set and everything - are both in the barbie movie yet have nothing to do with each other and are reflective of completely different eras of barbie (early 60s and early 2000s, respectively)

Where do u get yr clothes from :D

I like second hand the best! Whether it’s online or physical thrifting, my fav things r always second hand.. plus prices are much better. I also loveeee hand me downs they r the bestest cos then they have memories too. I like Amazon, AliExpress n Etsy for accessories or things like stockings and socks.
