Bailey I would love if you could do a dark history on medical intervention during birth! Like who had the first C-section, who performed it, episiotomies, epidurals, etc! How birth has changed throughout the years.
yes that sounds interesting. I know in the 60's the did c section cuts up and down your stomach instead of bikini cut they do now. My friends mother showed me her scar. It was long too
Can we just appreciate how sweet and genuine Bailey is like all the time she always consideres her viewers and makes sure everyone feels included like how could anyone hate on her 😌❤
@@GillisStarling she’s the cool aunt we all wanted growing up like even though don’t know her personally you can just tell when someone has the extra side of love to them nothing but happiness towards her way
I still have clothing from the 80's & 90's .. they are in such great condition & the quality was totally there. It's a shame how bad things took a turn.
YES!! I still have some old clothes that are perfect to this dayyy, i just recently ordered an "eco friendly" shirt that was made from sustainable material, and I wore it onceeee and it already has a small rip 😖
I still have clothes from the 60s and 70s, still in great shape. I also pay a friend to make clothes for me in fabrics I buy (all natural)…you get unique quality clothing that lasts, and you are helping the dressmaker with your money.🖤🇨🇦
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 I still wear much of mine…just with a view to situation appropriate style lol. I have never changed weight over the years, so fit isn’t a problem for me.🖤🇨🇦
like spencers and hot topic instead of just throwing out the leftovers they are supposed to cut them up before they throw them in the dumpster so people cant use them its disgusting.
Look into where our donated clothing ends up in mountainous piles on Haitian beaches, since we have no place to sell or dispose of the excessive donations.
I worked with the "less fortunate " community in my city for nearly 3 years. Even if they donated the clothes, they would end up in the dump or on the street within a few days to a few weeks. The people who "need" the clothes can't carry them around or wash them. Also a LOT of the time, they don't like what they are given and throw it out themselves. Also 2nd hand stores have marked up their prices so much it's not worth shopping there anymore because it costs nearly the same as a new item. The companies just need to stop making so much at a time.
Bailey was in such a fun, goofy mood in this episode. It brightened my morning so much! About four years ago, I shared my admiration for her with my beloved son, who was immediately enamored. He described her as "engaging, hilarious, curvaceous, luscious and delightful." We used to watch her together during FaceTime calls. My son was killed two years ago and I am so very lost without him. I want to thank Bailey for the precious, cherished memories I have of my son and myself laughing so hard that we constantly had to go back and hear it again or listen to what we missed whilst we were so "tickled" by something wild that she said! I know she won't see this (plus, I am always a little late to the party because I take care of my mother, who is 90) but I just felt the need to express how I feel. 😍😥
I have never sat and looked at our world the way I do lately, we are just destroying everything and it is heartbreaking. From people to the oceans and everything in between, something drastic has to change!!!!!
Vote against authoritarians. Vote like our lives depend on it, because they very well might. I suggest everyone checks out _Beau of the Fifth Column._ I think Bailey may have been on his channel once, but he definitely knows who she is and likes her. Just don't be put off by him looking like a redneck. I don't think he does and I grew up in the SF Bay Area, but others seem to think so). It's just the beard and bald head I guess. But I trust hm on politics more than anyone. He is compassion, strength, and wisdom all rolled into one. Best source of real information about pretty much anything he talks about because he is compassionate, fact checks everything, extremely well-read and is not all bigoted.❤🌍🌎🌏
We need to get back to every family being self sufficient (grow your own food.... veggie gardens, have a couple cows, brood of chickens, couple pigs, goats and sheep). One (or more) farm fields were purchased to"plant" a field of solar panels. Yes, I know the solar panels benefit us.... but, these have taken TONS farm land that will now, no longer produce food for us and the animals! I think they should've found a way to allow fields to be worked for food AND place the solar panels way above the crops. Our farm land is disappearing which will raise grocery prices because there is less food being produced by our farmers.... unless solar panels are edible...😢
@@creationsbyleatrice9395 I absolutely agree Leatrice! Humans are the worst thing to happen to our earth (ok, not all of us to be fair), but we need to care more
When you make changes to your lifestyle and habits, the energetic change will eventually encourage others to do the same. Yes, more does need to happen, but that's a great start
I learned how to sew when I was 8. I started out making clothes for Barbie. By Junior high school I was making my own clothes. I continued on and went to the Fashion Institute of America. I ended up having my own design studio and manufacturer of private label for boutiques. And I did custom wedding gowns. My criteria for buying myself clothes is if I can make it and better. Too bad they don't teach sewing and pattern making in school anymore.
@@etjetjtej5820 How old are you; not to be rude but recently? I'm surprised if they do bc everyone i meet don't even know the basic skills like sewing in a button?
I actually learned baking and sewing in middle school and high school. I am just horrible at sewing. I definitely can sew buttons or holes closed or a ribbon onto a garment. I fancy up my clothes but they’re not professional. with a refresher. I could use the sewing machine for sure. My option, though for sustainability is to purchase almost everything I have second hand since I am visually impaired and sewing, is a horrific challenge for me if some thing is a little bit torn or broken, I definitely do fix it up myself, but to sew a garment for me Would not be possible for my limited eyesight I’m terrible with the stitching but I did learn and can definitely fix things in a pinch. Albeit not very well, but yes, I did learn and I’m very very glad that I did, and they should still teach this in school. People should know how to sew a button or fix a hole in a shirt quickly it’s really cool that you went to fashion school!
1981... Before the 80's, the U.S. had the #1 public school system in the world. Soon it was not even in the top 20. And this intentional destruction in the 80's is a major part of how we got here today. And so was this.. 1940-1980 Median wage growth rose 260%. 1981-2020 Median wage growth rose 5.4%.
My dissertation is on the circular economy and chemically converting textile waste into more useful forms so thank you for highlighting the TOXICITY of fast fashion ♻️
@@LemonSte agreed also a huge issue. I did a project during my MS on the degradation of PFOS under external applied voltage in soil. There is hope as long as everyone continues to be mindful and push for environmental responsibility from companies! 🖤
it's baffling to me the way people will jump down your throat for putting apples in a plastic bag at the grocery store but will have an entire closet overfilled with clothes and shoes from shein. 🙄
@@pucca95776 : The idea is that plastic is wasteful and harms the world we all share. You're not "supposed" to do more than recycle, but plastic bags are rarely recycled, or even considered recyclable by some. It's not just this one thing, but so many ways we harm the world, and that harms all of us. We just need to become more responsible as individuals. That's a choice we are free to make. That's mostly all I felt I needed to say, but if anyone is interested I have something else I want say.. See, a lot of things were very different when I was younger. People under 40 never got to see the world itself in far better shape. I grew up in California and it used to rain here a lot. In fact, this is the first year it's even rained like it did in the 80's. But in the 70's we used to get on average about 28 days of rain in just the 4 summer months alone. But in the past couple of decades we were luck to get that much rain an entire year. Back then in the redwood park I lived next to as a kid, the forest floor in the late 70's was covered with waist high ferns and other plants and flowers. It was so thick you couldn't see the ground anywhere except on the trail and steep embankments. By 2000 the same forest floor was mostly just dirt, rocks, and sticks. A few small ferns here and there, but obviously the forest was drying up. Even in the 80's you could still see clouds coming out of the trees as the forest itself created them. All 20 of the largest fires in this state happened after 2000. The forest underbrush wasn't being cleared before then either, so anyone who tells you that's the problem with the fires is either ignorant, or lying. It's the extreme lack of rain that is the problem. Anyway, I'm just really sad right now thinking again of how much more beautiful the world was just a matter of decades ago. Some of it, like old growth forests is most places, are gone, and will take thousands of years to come back, if we finally get our collective act together. But do not despair! I've also been around ling enough to see every generation become less bigoted overall than their parents generation. But don't get sassy about that whipper snappers. lols Ir's the same for all of us. One day zoomers will be the next boomers. I only hope they have the wisdom to not accept even ageism, let alone classissm, racism, nationalism, transphobia, or any other form of bigotry. I have done my best to be an anti-bigot since I was a child, so from where I'm looking at things, I am proud of everyone who has at the very least tried to be a better person. No person is an island. We all stand on the collective shoulders of all of everyone else in society today, and the collective shoulders of all of humanities ancestors. We are indebted to everyone who ever participated in humanities evolution. Something critically important to understand too, it that we the 99% and our 99% ancestors created more than 99% of all the wealth that exists. Without us, the rich could not even exist as such. They need us just to have the ability to become rich. But we have exactly *zero* need of very rich people. Indeed the lives of all humanity would be greatly improved if no one was vastly richer than others. Don't get me wrong, people who work extra hard, and or do exceptional work do deserve to be rewarded. But society went way way past that many thousands of years ago with the first landlords. But as I said, humans are less and less bigoted over time, and so we move ever closer to actual freedom. It remains out of reach for now though because we have not as a species evolved to be responsible for freedom. True freedom requites that the great majority of humanity accept their responsibility to support peace and prosperity for everyone. And that is what I wish you and all my fellow Earthlings: peace and prosperity.❤🌍🌎🌏
I think one of the biggest things is going to be ending the cycle of trends where we have new fashion trends coming out daily. Because that's just insane. I also think we are going to see a shift in people learning how to sew and tailor clothing again. The nice thing about that is if you get tired of something you own you can alter the garment to breathe new life into it. It's also a super useful skill to have. You can mend clothing you own instead of throwing it away and if you buy things from a thrift store you gain the ability to tailor them to fit you properly. I don't know I just personally think these are some steps in the right direction.
I learned how to sew specifically to alter items I buy from thrift stores. Couple that with wanting something I couldn't find, I started learning how to actually put garments together.
@@theheartofthestone perfectly said! I started the same way! I’ve just started on designing and customizing patterns to express my style with leeway to alter over time. I have it on my vision board to learn how to make shoes, purses, and jewelry once pattern designing has been conquered. Would love to see everyone learning to sew and their creativity flow!
But what were people who couldn't afford high-end buying before fast fashion? I really don't think this is the first generation of people who are spending less on clothing...
@@SummeRain783 1) They had FAR less clothing (fewer than 5 outfits for the vast majority of human history) 2) they made their own 3) hand-me-downs and other user clothing.
I am forever grateful when people with large platforms and influence like yourself use them to educate people on this extremely important topic. I used to work for both Primark and H&M and my mind was so blown not only by some behind the scenes things I’m not ready to talk about (maybe in a future video…. I have so much tea!) but the occasional customers who would come in and still have the cognitive dissonance to complain that we were, “expensive,” among other things. The fact that SHEIN produces way more waste than all the other fast fashion stores COMBINED, but people continue to support it and the exploitation that comes along with it, while wanting better pay and working conditions for themselves is mind-blowing and depressing.
As someone who got all my clothes from thrifts/second-hand grow up and still do, learning to sew was the best thing. I can fix and alter any clothes I have and even use old ones to make completely new pieces. Even if I make something from scratch I try to thrift the material.
My father owns a laundromat and fast fashion clothes has caused 2 very serious dryer fires. So, so flammable. They were so bad that the insurance company dropped him because of how expensive the damage was. The cheap plastic also ruins the equipment constantly. You can see the melted plastic all over the inside of the dryers. Don’t even get me STARTED on what fabric softener does to not only the equipment, but the clothes themselves!
I've always loved pre-owned clothing bought at garage sales and resale shops. I stopped buying fast clothes and instead buy 2 new items of clothing each year. I do it fas a birthday gift and Christmas present to myself. These items are 3-4 times the cost buuuut they are made from much much better quality natural fabric. Cotton, wool, and linen. I do have less clothing now but I love every single peice I own.
I love this so much! I really wish the concept & practice of buying investment pieces would come back into fashion! I love the idea of having quality wardrobe staples that you can mix & match with other pieces & buy a couple of those each year to mix it up & keep it fresh & updated. This needs to come back into style!
@LiAAAk Coud learn to sew...and then the discussion can be...if we can't make it with quality products we can't have it. Or if it's not worth the time to make ourselves it's not worth having it.
I discovered SHEIN last year and was like “this is great!” Made orders a handful of times as needed new work attire for returning to in-office. I didn’t really realize what I was contributing to until I watched some random RU-vid video about it. Got disgusted, then deleted the app and vowed to only thrift moving forward. That’s it. I don’t need to contribute to this problem. When I first clicked on that initial RU-vid video that opened my eyes, I thought it would just be about SHEIN related things. But no. How silly and naive of me. As I watched, realized these other brands are just as bad. Thanks for spreading awareness on this topic! Just like my come to light moment months ago, you’re creating more of those moments for viewers that had no clue like I did not all that long ago. Gotta slap the world out of it. The company’s aren’t gonna do that lol.
Another thing you didn’t mention about the washing machine spreading micro-plastics is, dryer lint! 😭 dryer lint puffs up micro plastics into the air and we’re breathing that in!!! 🥺 I always make sure to cover my nose and not breathe in when I have to clean out that lint trap thingy 😩
I encourage anyone who likes fast fashion to give thrifting a chance. I find affordable clothes, fashionable clothes and often find clothes that still have the tags on!! I bought a brand new tags still on Old Navy jean jacket from the thirft shop that was orignally like $50 but i only spent $15. I am not a skinny minnie i wear sizes L to XL and i dont have any trouble finding clothes. Happy hunting!
I saw someone got a vintage corset with beautiful embroidery that was originally $60 for like $5!!!! It still had the tag on it too, thrift stores are the GOAT
Thrifting is great, but it can take time. If you have an interview tomorrow you may be out of luck, there’s no rack of blazers in your size that a salesperson can point to.
Clothes swap! It is actually fun... I do this with 3 of my coworkers yearly and it saves me from having to purchase every season 🙃 Not a take over the world solution, but a smart financial solution.
I’m a jeweler and I had to buy all new clothes because synthetic fabrics, if I were to drop a hot bead of solder, would melt into my skin. All my work clothes are 100% cotton, and I got lucky one day when I dropped a ring on my leg right after soldering it and because my pants were twill that day, and wide leg, it just left a little scorch mark on my pants but I was completely safe.
@@manaash4316 most of my pants are from H&M. All twill or 100% cotton denim. My shirts I get from Hanes. I have yet to find a high quality brand that sells non-basics in my size. But H&M is moving towards more natural fibers so I love them. Also. Modal, while natural, melts. Don’t wear it while performing
If you see ANY dip in views, know that it’s people who are uncomfortable by you bringing this up, and they just ignore it. Thank you for bringing up these topics to discuss with us in your Bailey way❤
I've been thrifting most of my clothes since high school and like 85% of my wardrobe is these. I diy them if needed alterations or I have better idea in my head. And if I'm bored with it or change my size again I donate it to charity shops. Closing circle all the way I can. If it's too used and cotton I cut it to smaller pieces and use for cleaning. I'm trying to be mindful and it's honestly scary how wasteful fast fashion is recently...
Same, its so much more unique! I just dont' know why they can't just recycle the clothes that don't sell. You'd think they'd save money by recycling the fabric they already have....but who knows
Fun fact coming from an apparel design major at college is the main purpose for clothing throughout history was to be worn as a form of decoration and status representation. Also a great alternative to fast fashion is thrifting! Get cute clothing but still for cheap :) love your videos Bailey!
If you have an interview tomorrow and need a conservative blazer in your size, finding one in a thrift store would be dumb luck. If you keep your eye out for one you’d find it, but thrifting is not great for immediate needs.
@@javayna2353 They are appropriately sized for Asia/Europe but not America. American sizes have gotten so much larger generally. If you compare our sizes to other countries its pretty insane.
Thank you for this episode! Honestly, I’m ready to return the 5 new items I just bought at Target! Information is power, and now many of us have “the power” to make more informed choices regarding our clothing 😊
I wrote a paper in college about the outsourcing of factories in the US & compared it to the unemployment rates (pre-covid). It's alarming at how we could employ double the amount of unemployed folks from 2018 just by making this change. 😢
Yep. We have Reagan and Republicans to thank for that 🤬 (NAFTA and Right To Work laws). Everything republicans have done has negatively affected the USA
Fast fashion is AWFUL! Thank you for sharing the history on this, I started sewing my own clothes and it’s been the most fulfilling thing I’ve done for myself!
Same! and you save so much money, the quality is better, and you have a sense of accomplishment especially when people complement your outfit! I buy items from thrift stores and donate what I don't wear and then tailor them to fit or just into different articles of clothing.
@@littlewing5682 if you’re trying to learn to sew, I highly recommend RU-vid and McCall patterns!! I have been quilting for probably fifteen years but I only recently started sewing clothing and the two really are very different; I started knowing how to sew a straight line and like work my machine and that’s about it. But every time you use a pattern you learn so much, and any questions you have are absolutely answered by the sewing community on RU-vid or even Instagram!
It’s tough though because even more expensive clothing aren’t always made in a ethical or healthy way, so we see why most people buy fast fashion. Ethical clothing is usually more expensive.
@@joelle4226 I agree but sometimes we need clothes for school or work. And I think the actual most ethical thing is just to use what you already have. Buying less is not inherently more or less ethical, the source matters.
You can still get regular clothing at thrift stores, although it is hard to find. There really is no need for fast fashion ever, no matter how poor you are. So, her example of needing a nice outfit for a job interview doesn't make sense. Why would you even go to the mall for clothes? When I was first starting adulthood, even forever 21 was too expensive for me, and I preferred clothes from goodwill. Platos closet and many other thrift stores sell nicer clothes that are made with natural fibers for a cheap price.
@@spaceinveda7408 there are certain things, that unless you knew you’d need them way ahead of time are hard to find second hand. I think to say there’s never a need for fast fashion is privileged and ignorant. I never said anything about the mall? Have you ever considered the location of stores? Maybe how accessible they are or like I said, you might need a specific article of clothing (not for fashion but for work or school) and need it quickly and affordably. Also a lot of the clothing at thrift stores is not my size, trust me a lot of my clothes is second hand, in fact I’d say most of it is, but I still have needed to buy things that are not sustainable or local.
Wish I could like this like 200 times, idk why fast fashion has become my nemesis in the past year but it really has??? And then I learned I’m allergic to polyester so that added to being very cautious with what clothes I buy lol (I knew hives had to be coming from SOMEwhere but like who expects plastic)
Ayyy, i learned I'm allergic to cotton so I started buying fast fashion stuff for the first time lol. Wanna switch wardrobes? Jk Some bamboo-based 'tencel' (or something) acts a lot like poly for the stretch and sheen.
They found children's coats from China that had toxic levels of arsenic. There is no EPA in china, and there are no animal cruelty laws either. Many reasons to avoid their products.
Thank you so much for covering this topic. I’m chilean but I don’t live in Chile anymore for a few years, I knew this was a problem up in the desert when the report came out but nobody around me (currently I’m in Germany) cared about it. Is crazy how inconsiderate people I talked to wearing fast fashion -let’s say Zara or Shein -were. Too much talk for nothing, here are very known for how green and aware and you name it… they are. But sometimes when the problem is far away, is not a problem anymore.
Hi Bailey. I love Forever 21 & alot of other famous stores. Victoria's Secret has cute catalog clothes & online shopping as well. Thrifting & style fast shops are better in price & almost always have Lula Roe, Calvin Klein, Gap, Old Navy, White House/ Black Market for around 70 to 80% off original high end retail prices. Love your hairstyle pig tails & peace until the next show, hugs, Janine Smiley🙂😀😉🤗🤩🏡🚗🚘⌚🛋🚪🛏🌚🌠
I don’t know if it means anything, but I’ve been trying to use up all of my spare fabrics and old clothes to make “new” pieces to wear. I’ve actually been thinking about the problem that fast fashion has had on the environment, and, because I work minimum wage and can barely afford to buy myself new clothes, I’ve just been reusing and restyling some of my older clothes. I still keep any fabric that I have cut away to use for scrap, and I’ve been getting into patchwork styles because I can use up even the smallest piece of useable scrap for a design. Plus, I’m a heavier woman, and it’s harder to find clothes that I really like in my size. I got fed up one day and just started making my own clothes. I don’t want it to seem that I’m trying to make myself out to be better than anyone else. I guess that’s just how I’m trying to minimize my carbon footprint a little bit from the planet.
Girl!! I just finished writing my research paper on the fast fashion industry and its effects on the Bangladeshi workers! I’m am so excited to hear/ watch this episode. ❤️❤️❤️
Department stores..."the og escape room"... happened every flipping time! Then trying to figure out which door you came in!!! You gotta escape all over again. LOL. No one can beat your personality, humor, and wittiness.
They won’t because most of them are only about money and these companies are paying them big bucks to collab and do ads with them. Money talks and these “influencers” are for the most part, young and dumb and care nothing unless it makes them money. Not saying they’re all like that but I’m mainly speaking about the tik tok ones & the ones under 25.
But yea, I agree. More people should speak up and bring awareness to it. But more importantly WE (as in the everyday person) need to use our wallets and not buy this stuff anymore. Unless we as a whole stop buying it, these companies aren’t gona stop making it 😕
I've noticed an upsurge in this trend especially in the last 5-10 year's. I have very sensitive skin and prefer all cotton or all natural but it's becoming so hard to find. When I do I stockpile it because I don't know when the next time I'll be able to find any. I mean what's so difficult about making cotton garments, sheets, blanket's any how. Their so much cooler, feel better on your skin, and like you said last longer.
This will seem like TMI but personally I need to wear cotton underwear and pants. If I wear polyester pants, I get yeast infections (so that should tell you something about the dangers of these manmade materials in regards to your health.)
I just bought a set of 100% linen sheets for my bed. I *love* them. But they were literally 6x what hellmart charges for microfiber sheets, and they were 50% off. If you want nicer stuff, it's going to have to be an investment. Fash fashion won't hack it.
I repurpose a lot of my old clothes. I had a t-shirt blanket made and I do consignment/thrift shopping. It's not the perfect solution but it's something 🤷🏻♀️
My dad works in a factory where they are way underpaid , have to stay over and work way too many hours, have to ASK to go to the bathroom, and get “points” and “deductions” if they miss work even for literal emergencies. There is a story that one time the company wrote a man up for leaving work when he literally had a heart attack and the ambulance had to take him away. Another story up there is that they deducted points from another man for missing work a day after his house was destroyed by a tornado… Yeah
@@courts6969I work for a factory in the USA that does the same with the point system for absences. They force us to stay late, and even force us to come in at 3am with only 12 hours notice.
This happens in almost all manufacturing factories, even in America with labor laws. Factory owners know how to get around those laws. Now they have the “Right to Work” laws that actually allow them to fire anyone, for any reason. They can hire temporary employees so they don’t have to offer any benefits or high wages. They can force overtime, with low pay, or they will just fire the employees if they refuse. 🤷🏻♀️ Those factories have several health and climate violations, but if an employee brings it up, they’ll be fired. 🤷🏻♀️People think these awful work practices happen in China and other countries, but they happen in every country.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! As a former fashion student, person who sews and knows how time consuming to sew, etc. Please by clothes that are made by people who are given a living wage.
I 100% get where you're coming from, but I do not have enough clothes atm and I cannot afford to drop 40€ for a single shirt. I really hope I can do that in the future but right now, this is the reality for a lot of people...
It is so much cheaper to buy fast fashion than to sew your own. I sew some of my own clothes and it probably costs more and it does not include your time. However, the clothes I made will last forever (especially because I can mend them). I can also fix some of the corner cutting in fast fashion so learning to sew and mend are amazing skills.
See I buy a lot of clothes but I don’t throw them away. Like ever. But still thinking of what I buy and why I buy it is such an interesting thought. Such an awesome video!!!
The last piece of clothing i bought was a year ago…. New clothes after 5 days seems extremely crazy to me. The most i bought at once was 4 things (socks, underwear, a loose button up blouse during the heat wave and new pants)
This is why I try to avoid fast fashion stuff but it is everywhere so it's difficult. I absolutely avoid shein, romwe and wish because they're scam sites with paper feeling clothes and steal art and other small business designs.
Actually in my opinion, aliexpress has the worst clothing matireal , shien is a china based clothing company and there clothing matireal is pretty decent , but i get what your saying , wish is definitely also the worst the photos they put on ads come from small instagram businesses 😅!
The way shein has taken over fast fashion is crazy, I’m mad that people know exactly what’s going on but continue to buy clothes from them… even though their clothing is very low quality
I actually find if you buy the slightly more expensive clothing on shein it’s very similar quality to department store and even so higher end brands. Also higher end brands use sweatshops just the same , they just get more money from us for the clothing but don’t have any better moral values than fast fashion. My daughter buys her own clothing and just had a Valentine’s Day dance she bought a $45 dress from shein and it looked like it was custom made and altered to her. It was perfect based on the measurements online. I think a lot of it is people are unaware where anything comes from. 99% of all our clothes come from China and from sweatshops.
@@flagbabygirl right like rose gal brands are on shein and dress lilly all the same. On top of main store are not all size inclusive. Not to mention the economy her story at the beginning being broke trying to get a job ....it's wild the position we are put in
@@Jillworrell22 yes exactly the problem really is that manufactures moved from the United States because of bad leadership. We have to start creating again, and buying what Americans create. Note: my last name used to be Worrell some years ago when I was married to my first husband. Trippy

@@TheLunare6 I totally agree! My boyfriend has a speech impediment too and I find it endearing. It makes me sad that he’s self conscious about it because I don’t see it as a flaw in the slightest.

Thank you so much for talking about this, there are books that talk about all of the harm that fast fashion does to our bodies especially women’s hormones.
Find a fashion design student, and work out a deal with them where you pay for eco fabrics, like bamboo, and their time to make clothing for you. They get to build a portfolio, and you get original clothes for a price you can afford. Even having a dressmaker work with patterns and your choice of fabric costs less than you think. You only buy what you need, and wear the clothing with different accessories to give it a fresh look. Stop throwing money at out of control capitalists and love the clothes YOU choose while helping an individual start their career, or a retired person who loves to sew.🖤🇨🇦
But people don't want to even pay you a minimum wage for a sewing job, which is a skilled labour and should be worth more than minimum wage (especially because you also have to have equipment). If someone wants me to make a basic pant to their measurements it means I need to take their measurements, draft a pattern, make a toile, make adjustments, then draft the final pattern, then make the pant. This is easily a full day of work, at £11 an hour that's almost £100, plus materials (depending on your fabric, this will be £15-40), and this is a lower estimate. And that's at minimum wage. Very few people are willing to pay this.
Love dark history. Can you do a dark history on tattoos and piercings where did it first start? Also why do people have to judge people that have piercings and tattoos? As I have many piercings and tattoos I get looked at a lot. So i think it would be cool to know the history of them.
Thank you for pulling the curtain back on fast fashion and knock-offs. Counterfeit fashion is a real violation of intellectual property, and it's not worth it.
We respect people who report facts and human suffering, and you are one of those people. We hope you will be useful to humanity and talk about Jawaher al-hajji story.
Went into a department store in Edinburgh to use the bathroom. The store was between 2 streets, meaning you could enter on one street and leave on the other. It took 20 minutes, 4 employees, and 3 elevator rides just to find the door we entered. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Over the last year, I changed my wardrobe to a capsule wardrobe. It started being 90% fast fashion, in order to get a start. I have been slowly replacing the pieces with higher quality items. My goal is to have a capsule wardrobe with zero fast fashion pieces. The overall aesthetic is timeless/classic. I do indulge in a couple of "throw away" micro fashion pieces - but no more than 2, to keep the looks fresh and relevant.
Crazy she made this video last week i had a crazyyy allergic reaction to shein tee and gym shorts even after i washed them multiple times. I was freaking out. I found out them had lead in their clothes and other chemicals
Love you Bailey ❤️❤️ Shop second hand, friends!! And locally, if you can!! Thrift stores -> cheapest prices because they sell donated items. Also called charity shops. Resale shops -> people sell their goods to the store which resells them. They tend to have a more carefully selected inventory than thrift stores Consignment shops -> tend to be the most expensive second hand. They pay consignors after their items sell
Mimi ikonn has a great video on reducing clothing waste. Basically she always ensures the clothes are natural fibers and she makes sure she loves the clothes before she buys it. If she only likes it, she doesn't buy it. She also passes along old clothing she doesn't wear to charity.
Such a great video! Now I’m more confused than ever about certain brands though. I thought if im paying at least $200 for a jacket I’d expect it NOT to be fast fashion, but knowing ZARA is all fast fashion..what’s a girl to do? Google every brand? It’s so sad how it’s confused us all. Now I feel like when I want a garment, im going to have to google the brand to make sure it’s not fast fashion because clearly prices can still be high!!
I think we can look for companies that still make their clothes in the U.S./Thrift stores. It is a little bit of work because you have to kind of dig and research your way into finding that out. But all of that depends on how passionate you are about the problems of ‘fast fashion’. I for one taught myself not too long ago that I would rather want a smaller closet of expensive statement pieces that I know looks great on me and will last a long time, rather then a bunch of clothes that will tear apart in a few months. What I want to start doing is donating my “fast fashion” clothes I have when I no longer want them, and will only buy expensive authentic pieces that I know are made without the use of overworked people in other countries. After watching this episode I feel disappointed in the U.S. citizens and government for lack of work and research against these sort of things. I want to actually try and work towards better without letting my financial status be a excuse. Easier said then done and I do also use brands like Zara, Shein, ect. I want to change how I look at fashion and how I buy my clothing after doing my own research. Hopefully my generation will learn eventually to steer away from these big corporations. I am 20 years old and really need to re-educate myself on a lot of things we as consumers put our $$ into.
My son actually got me hooked on Dark History , with the gift of a t shirt, I had to check out the site. Been addicted ever since. Bailey you keep it up girl!
