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!
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 ;-)
"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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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
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!
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.
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!
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...
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.
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!
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.
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.
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. 🙏🏼👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️💯🏆🥇
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!
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.
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.
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 RUclipsrs. 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 😊
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!
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. 😊
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
As a knitter, I REFUSE to knit with acrylic. I find that the drape and breathability of garments is not to the quality that I want something I create. Wool, llama, mohair, alpaca, cashmere, silk, cotton and bamboo are all things I prefer to work with. They are certainly more costly, but you get what you pay for. Acrylic just feels like plastic - which essentially is just that. I should mention that in the case of baby garments, I find it is ok to knit with acrylic blends. Reason being is that the care is easier for parents and let's face it, kids puke and poop a lot, so in these cases, I do use cheaper fibers, but it still needs to be a higher level of quality. Love your videos!
I noticed a few others commented on the environmental, social and human health problems that synthetic fibres cause. I really hope in the future you will do an in depth video about the detrimental consequences of using these fabrics. Except for some outerwear, I only purchase clothes that have been made with organic and natural materials and low or environmentally friendly dyes. The fashion industry is now known to be the 2nd worst polluting industry only second to the oil industry which is actually the what these fibres are mostly made from. They are mostly petroleum based/plastic fibres. For the health of the planet and all of it's inhabitants I do not believe we should add to our world wide problem of pollution, plastic and toxicity. I will if absolutely necessary for outerwear purchase clothes that have recycled plastic. For weather proof items that are not going to be directly on my skin and that I know are recycled and ethically made (Patagonia brand).. I would also love to see a video which explains the differences between organic cotton and non-organic cotton. I will not purchase any non-organic cotton partly for environmental reasons, for my health, and also because I do not want a penny of my money going to support Monsanto. They have been found guilty in a California court for their 'pesticides' causing a man to get terminal NHL cancer. And these are the same pesticides that they pour into the ground, are in the cotton seeds, the workers have to be exposed to, and people wear on their skin. I will go without before I knowingly support them. These are very important issues for us all because we all buy and wear clothes. We are all contributing to the 'problems' and I believe we can all become the solution. A wonderful blogger that has RUclips videos that explain material types with these issues in mind is Daria from wonderwardrobe. I hope you do learn about these issues and help spread the information and also become part of the solution.
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.
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!
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!
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! :)
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!
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. ;-)
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)
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🤗
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
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.
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)
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
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 RUclips for yourself?
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.

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!!!
Justine, this was very helpful, as always! Obviously as these new technologies in fabrics become available, they affect fashion trends - things like yoga pants or skinny jeans would not have been possible without the invention of spandex, as you mentioned. Could you tell us a little about how manufacturing machinery has possibly affected trends in the same way? (For example, you mention that knitwear is much more common than people think; this would not be possible if machine-knitting had not been invented.) What other mass-production/factory processes do you think have had similar tremendous, long-term effects on clothing trends? Mostly, I've noticed a recent explosion in highly complex, multi-colored embroidery work on EVERYTHING lately - from dresses to blouses to pillows. It's beautiful, but something that I always considered very expensive to produce because of the labor costs. Has a new machine been invented to automate this? I've been unable to find anything about it, except that a machine to switch embroidery colors has been made.
Ariel on the topic of embroidery machines, those were there for a long time. From my experiemce using an old (at least 40 years) machine, they work well if all is set up properly once you select a pattern it is easy to use (and you can have up to 14 colours for that old thing). The problem came when it failed, and that caused a huge mess. Im guessing tehnology has improved, greatly reducing jams and increasing output. (Though I still think this new embroidery is ugly and unclean)
Hi, synthetic fibers are from something that is natural or that you can find in nature (as cellulose), and then are processed and the resulted fibers have different qualities from the natural fibers they came from (ex. Viscose). artificial fibers are totally manmade in a lab. As I translate directly from italian I'm sure the technical terms are correct. Anyways I love your videos
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely can't stand polyester. The worst is, that so many stores now make pretty dressy shirts in it. YUk. It makes shopping hard and infrequent. Anything over 30% poly gets a big pass. This video was just as great as the natural fiber one.
I have a couple gorgeous blouses that I thought were silk from Bannana Republic that I bought recently, and when I got home, I looked at the label, and they are polyester! You would never know! I love them~
I have stopped shopping at BR because 99% of their blouses are polyester. I once gave in and regret it. It was a sweaty, smelly mess. Never again. It's a shame, cause the pieces look nice, but are not wearable for me.
AsterDisaster It's the worst! For some reason They always get all electric too. 99% of the shirts in my country is made from either that or viscose. which is electric in wet wheather (meaning Always in my country)
AsterDisaster Strange I never sweat in polyester for day wear the only time I've noticed a difference is winter, my duvet is extremely thick and I wake up drenched in sweat if I'm wearing synthetic t-shirts and the radiator happens to be on as well and noticed this doesn't happen in cotton tees. I like polyester because I'm not into ironing and polyester faux silk tops make up my low maintenance workwear wardrobe. However I'm about to buy a handheld steamer and I think it might change my view on easy to wear items in my wardrobe and the fabric content I look at when I buy clothes.
So helpful Justine! I've been following this series on fabrics VERY closely being a sewist. I'm not keen on synthetics. I like to feel air movement through my clothing :) I remember when polyester first came out (I was born in 1954) and everyone jumped on the bandwagon - particularly those "double knits" until people figured out that it made them sweat and stink :) I've noticed that it's making a come back (a new generation of fashionistas are being told it breathable poly which is ridiculous). In time this generation will notice that it has a rather anti-social tendency and it will fall into disrepute again. Having said all that I would add I LOVE Gortex and wear it all time living in Victoria BC Canada where our weather gets quite wet in the fall and winter months. I didn't know Gortex was poly so thank you for that info - it obviously does have it's place after all :) Gortex is of course the brand name - the real name for the fabric itself is Dinetex :)
One of my fav sweaters is made from a super soft chunky knit wool. But watching your videos i now realize it's prob not real wool haha. It's never ever shrunk like real wool does but it does peel. Cool info, tyvm!
delphi You can help wool keep its shape by drying it flat on the ground. Google Blocking (or knitting blocking) and it will give you some information on helping your knits keep their shape.
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.
I love your videos, Justine and this fabric series is fabulous. I am very suprised, however, how you described the properties of acrylic fibers. I used to wear acrylic knits and I found that I was always cold and yet sweaty in them. Also they peel a lot, look terrible after few washes and on top of that I used to caugh a lot while wearing it, I had the feeling that there are always some particles flying around. Maybe the quality of acrylic knits can vary as well but I try to stay away from it.
Another great, informative video! And I absolutely love your asymmetric hoodie. I’m going to check your website to see if it is part of your collection.
I've tried to stay away so far from synthetic fibers because I feel them electrify on my skin (I'm not sure that's the correct term for it) and they tend to stick on me when I move. I am however confusing synthetic fabrics among them, so I'm not sure if that's only something that, say, polyamid does, or something else. Do you know anything about that? Also, I'm not a fashion fan, but I do love your videos and they've helped me become more aware of my body and how I dress and have more confidence in my own personal style. Plus, I gain more knowledge about lots of other stuff (each subject you talk about is interesting and insightfully presented), and watching your videos is for me spending some quality time. (And I'd go on praising your work, because I'm actually very enthusiastic about it, and it brings me lots of joy) Thank you very much!
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?
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 everyone! Enjoy the video & have a great rest of the week :-)
Justine Leconte officiel thank you so much!
PS: my sweater is pink, not orange ;-)
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!
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 ;-)
Awesome video! I love your channel's scope and depth :3 (I also wear black all the time ;P)
"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!
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.
I love this series! It's so much more informative than the random synthetic bashing you find online.
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.
Why can't it be re-used?
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.
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.
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.)
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
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!
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.
What are you or were you studying?
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!
It's really impressive how much you know about the history and science of fashion!
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...
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.
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!
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.
Sanni Judy Daria covers this in a series of videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLB_wHC_s02d5y4ZV3caFvoFYIuzI1_R0t 💖
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.
Please take us with you on a field trip to see how a fiber is made!! That would be awesome.
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. 🙏🏼👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️💯🏆🥇
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!
Fabulous colour on you Justine. And what a great primer on synthetic fibers, learn so much from you!
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.
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.
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 RUclipsrs. 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 😊
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!
+Jean FB thank you 💛
You should totally avoid acetate fabric. Its really bad for the skin. Rayon is super breathable..
Thanks it is very useful video for me
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. 😊
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! :)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You are a great teacher Justine!
i enjoy your series on fabric, natural & synthetic. I work in mattress industry which is considered textile.
Wonderful information, thank you! That color is stunning on you. You look radiant.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
Love Naketano.
The hoodie looks good on you. :)
Love the series! Learning a lot, which helps decluttering and making better choices clothewise. Merci Justine :)
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)
yayyy! Thanks for giving ME your only comment! Have a great evening!
Wow! Peach is your color! You look radiant!
Your videos are truly so educational and fascinating, Justine! Thank you for explaining about both natural and synthetic fibers. :)
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.
thanks for the huge compliment!
Apricot is definitely your color. Looks great on you!
Awesome video! I've always been curious about some synthetic fabrics, really good presentation!
+Shannon Oldberg thanks!
As a knitter, I REFUSE to knit with acrylic. I find that the drape and breathability of garments is not to the quality that I want something I create. Wool, llama, mohair, alpaca, cashmere, silk, cotton and bamboo are all things I prefer to work with. They are certainly more costly, but you get what you pay for. Acrylic just feels like plastic - which essentially is just that.
I should mention that in the case of baby garments, I find it is ok to knit with acrylic blends. Reason being is that the care is easier for parents and let's face it, kids puke and poop a lot, so in these cases, I do use cheaper fibers, but it still needs to be a higher level of quality.
Love your videos!
I noticed a few others commented on the environmental, social and human health problems that synthetic fibres cause. I really hope in the future you will do an in depth video about the detrimental consequences of using these fabrics. Except for some outerwear, I only purchase clothes that have been made with organic and natural materials and low or environmentally friendly dyes. The fashion industry is now known to be the 2nd worst polluting industry only second to the oil industry which is actually the what these fibres are mostly made from. They are mostly petroleum based/plastic fibres. For the health of the planet and all of it's inhabitants I do not believe we should add to our world wide problem of pollution, plastic and toxicity. I will if absolutely necessary for outerwear purchase clothes that have recycled plastic. For weather proof items that are not going to be directly on my skin and that I know are recycled and ethically made (Patagonia brand).. I would also love to see a video which explains the differences between organic cotton and non-organic cotton. I will not purchase any non-organic cotton partly for environmental reasons, for my health, and also because I do not want a penny of my money going to support Monsanto. They have been found guilty in a California court for their 'pesticides' causing a man to get terminal NHL cancer. And these are the same pesticides that they pour into the ground, are in the cotton seeds, the workers have to be exposed to, and people wear on their skin. I will go without before I knowingly support them. These are very important issues for us all because we all buy and wear clothes. We are all contributing to the 'problems' and I believe we can all become the solution. A wonderful blogger that has RUclips videos that explain material types with these issues in mind is Daria from wonderwardrobe. I hope you do learn about these issues and help spread the information and also become part of the solution.
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.
Listening and watching your videos is like a degree from FIA!
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!
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!
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! :)
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!
forisma natural as in comes from the nature
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. ;-)
I'm thoroughly enjoying this fabric series. Thanks!
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)
again - great, funny and HIGHLY APPRECIATED! and yes, you look amazing in this salmon-colour hoodie .... shiny girl!
Hi Justin..can you please make more videos on types of fabrics and the best methods to use them in designing clothes?
I'm familiar with acrylic because I knit. Please more!! These videos are so interesting!!!
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.
You blew my mind with the nylon and the “click click click click” sound it makes when you stretch it.
Super helpful series, thank you Justine!! Your explanations are so easy to understand 😄
You are incredible! Your knowledge is vast, your presentation clear, practical, and helpful; your manner delightful.
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?
A lot of acrylic I’ve found feels scratchy.
Most of my closet is knitted. I just like how soft knits are.
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.
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.
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.
Katrine Petersen the humidity is low right now in the US because it is winter. In the summer the humidity will be higher.
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.
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.
thanks for explaining it so clearly and simply.
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 🤗
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
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.
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)
Very interesting. Thanks so much for making the video!
i study textiles at college , and BIG thumps up to this , so informative and simple , thank you
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
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 RUclips for yourself?
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.
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!!!
Justine, I love your videos and they are brilliantly informative. Keep them coming!
Justine, this was very helpful, as always!
Obviously as these new technologies in fabrics become available, they affect fashion trends - things like yoga pants or skinny jeans would not have been possible without the invention of spandex, as you mentioned.
Could you tell us a little about how manufacturing machinery has possibly affected trends in the same way? (For example, you mention that knitwear is much more common than people think; this would not be possible if machine-knitting had not been invented.) What other mass-production/factory processes do you think have had similar tremendous, long-term effects on clothing trends?
Mostly, I've noticed a recent explosion in highly complex, multi-colored embroidery work on EVERYTHING lately - from dresses to blouses to pillows. It's beautiful, but something that I always considered very expensive to produce because of the labor costs. Has a new machine been invented to automate this? I've been unable to find anything about it, except that a machine to switch embroidery colors has been made.
Ariel on the topic of embroidery machines, those were there for a long time. From my experiemce using an old (at least 40 years) machine, they work well if all is set up properly once you select a pattern it is easy to use (and you can have up to 14 colours for that old thing). The problem came when it failed, and that caused a huge mess.
Im guessing tehnology has improved, greatly reducing jams and increasing output. (Though I still think this new embroidery is ugly and unclean)
thank you Justine for these advice. I am educating myself because of you about the healthy materials options. Mecri ^-^
Hi, synthetic fibers are from something that is natural or that you can find in nature (as cellulose), and then are processed and the resulted fibers have different qualities from the natural fibers they came from (ex. Viscose). artificial fibers are totally manmade in a lab. As I translate directly from italian I'm sure the technical terms are correct. Anyways I love your videos
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.
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.
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.
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.
Very interesting, thank you Justine, big thumbs up 👍
This is why I love this channel.
You are a perfect teacher in fashion 👨🏫 i just love you
I just love it when u smile...pls smile often! Thank u for the informative video, I did enjoy it!
Thank you once again for a concise and informative piece.
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.
Absolutely can't stand polyester. The worst is, that so many stores now make pretty dressy shirts in it. YUk. It makes shopping hard and infrequent. Anything over 30% poly gets a big pass. This video was just as great as the natural fiber one.
I have a couple gorgeous blouses that I thought were silk from Bannana Republic that I bought recently, and when I got home, I looked at the label, and they are polyester! You would never know! I love them~
I have stopped shopping at BR because 99% of their blouses are polyester. I once gave in and regret it. It was a sweaty, smelly mess. Never again. It's a shame, cause the pieces look nice, but are not wearable for me.
AsterDisaster ugh yeah, and sheet sets seem to have polyester mixed in and i hate that as well, 100% cotton sheets for me only. 😊
AsterDisaster It's the worst! For some reason They always get all electric too. 99% of the shirts in my country is made from either that or viscose. which is electric in wet wheather (meaning Always in my country)
AsterDisaster Strange I never sweat in polyester for day wear the only time I've noticed a difference is winter, my duvet is extremely thick and I wake up drenched in sweat if I'm wearing synthetic t-shirts and the radiator happens to be on as well and noticed this doesn't happen in cotton tees. I like polyester because I'm not into ironing and polyester faux silk tops make up my low maintenance workwear wardrobe. However I'm about to buy a handheld steamer and I think it might change my view on easy to wear items in my wardrobe and the fabric content I look at when I buy clothes.
Thank youuu!! And my favourites are polyester spandex and polyacrylic
Love this series!! The knitted fur swatches were especially interesting. I loved hearing a bit of the history of each fabric also.
thanks!
So helpful Justine! I've been following this series on fabrics VERY closely being a sewist. I'm not keen on synthetics. I like to feel air movement through my clothing :) I remember when polyester first came out (I was born in 1954) and everyone jumped on the bandwagon - particularly those "double knits" until people figured out that it made them sweat and stink :) I've noticed that it's making a come back (a new generation of fashionistas are being told it breathable poly which is ridiculous). In time this generation will notice that it has a rather anti-social tendency and it will fall into disrepute again.
Having said all that I would add I LOVE Gortex and wear it all time living in Victoria BC Canada where our weather gets quite wet in the fall and winter months. I didn't know Gortex was poly so thank you for that info - it obviously does have it's place after all :) Gortex is of course the brand name - the real name for the fabric itself is Dinetex :)
You really suit that colour you’re wearing. Another great video Justine, very informative thank you 💕
Justine, that peach color suits you very well.
One of my fav sweaters is made from a super soft chunky knit wool. But watching your videos i now realize it's prob not real wool haha. It's never ever shrunk like real wool does but it does peel. Cool info, tyvm!
delphi You can help wool keep its shape by drying it flat on the ground. Google Blocking (or knitting blocking) and it will give you some information on helping your knits keep their shape.
The video would get really long? Oh, never! I love watching your videos so much.
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.
I love your videos, Justine and this fabric series is fabulous. I am very suprised, however, how you described the properties of acrylic fibers. I used to wear acrylic knits and I found that I was always cold and yet sweaty in them. Also they peel a lot, look terrible after few washes and on top of that I used to caugh a lot while wearing it, I had the feeling that there are always some particles flying around. Maybe the quality of acrylic knits can vary as well but I try to stay away from it.
+AniaBumba yes, the quality can really vary... I mentioned that it pills like wool does. I prefer acrylic mixed with wool and/or other fibers.
Could you make another synthetic fabric video? :) Talking about common blends, pros and cons?
Another great, informative video! And I absolutely love your asymmetric hoodie. I’m going to check your website to see if it is part of your collection.
it's by Naketano
Justine Leconte officiel Merci beaucoup, Justine! 😀
I love these videos I’m studying fashion marketing right now in college so these are so helpful for my textiles class!
I've tried to stay away so far from synthetic fibers because I feel them electrify on my skin (I'm not sure that's the correct term for it) and they tend to stick on me when I move. I am however confusing synthetic fabrics among them, so I'm not sure if that's only something that, say, polyamid does, or something else. Do you know anything about that?
Also, I'm not a fashion fan, but I do love your videos and they've helped me become more aware of my body and how I dress and have more confidence in my own personal style. Plus, I gain more knowledge about lots of other stuff (each subject you talk about is interesting and insightfully presented), and watching your videos is for me spending some quality time. (And I'd go on praising your work, because I'm actually very enthusiastic about it, and it brings me lots of joy)
Thank you very much!
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?
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
