Girl, I haven’t seen u more satisfied with clothes than with Goop! This style definitely suits you and your shape the best , you look elegant, chic and mysterious.
i dont think it flattered her body. If it was longer it could have worked. Its a dress you wont wear many times. In fact I dont think a lot of the clothes fitted well. The cuts did not seem so good.
@@asmita4062 They probably saw the first few minutes, where Mia roasts the brand lol. The rest of the video she's mostly positive. So yeah, they did probably watch the roasting bit in 11 minutes.
I mean it depends on what they want to achieve. Some high end pieces are meant to be sheer. If it's not advertised as sheer, then that's just a tragedy and a waste of money.
Right!!! I returned a 30 dollar t shirt because it was see through (@ the person above me that was not the intended style for this shirt it was supposed to be an opaque baby pink) I can't imagine if I paid 500 basically and got see through pants.......someone would be answering questions and returning my dollars 😂
i would love to see how easy it is to return items when you aren't satisfied with them. sometimes more expensive brands make it almost impossible to return anything and adding that section to the review videos would be very informative.
Hi Mia! I work in luxury in Milan lol and I can assure you that this brand is doing nothing for sustainability, even big brands that preach how sustainable they are, in reality they do nothing or the bare minimum (sometimes it's just greenwashing). Also, if they state that some pieces are produced in italy or others european countries, it's legal to put "made in italy" even if ONLY one phase of the production process was made here. For example, if the whole piece is made in some low-wage labour country and they add some bottons in italy, they can legally put "made in italy" even if it was made unethically. So, some luxury brands really care about the quality of their products and sustainability, but others (such this one) scream "reeed flag" but we have to see also the fabric composition to evaluate better. also love you Mia
Mia-- Can I just say how much I appreciate you continually advocating for environmental sustainability? It's so refreshing after seeing so many youtubers focus solely on "haul"-style videos and/or purposefully buying cheap/silly/viral things they will likely just throw away. Keep it up! We need more of this!
Ever since the color analysis video, I’m having so much fun watching the videos and seeing how it was so accurate. Mia’s eyes are POPPING with her in this brown shirt!!!
The first dress is probably the best fit I have ever seen on Mia? It’s so beautiful! And also, Mia if you read this, I would really appreciate if you’d mention the material/composition of material when you have try on hauls. It makes such a difference, especially when it comes to quality!
this!!! i can almost bet that the "cheap duvet cover" fabric is pure polyester, and it pisses me off so much when designer brands want you to pay $500 for plastic
The inside of clothing matters! My mom was a seamstress and whenever we’d go shopping she’d always look at the inside to see how and how well an article of clothing was put together. It will tell you a lot about comfort and durability of the item. Also, different fabrics require different types of manufacturing.
Yep! If you leave a seam raw on a woven fabric there is a very good chance it will eventually ravel out and the seam will open. I would NOT be happy if I paid over $700 for a pair of pants and the seams raveled open.
@@OnePoetWanderernot only that but it would also feel so so soooooo uncomfortable!!! I’d never spend that much on a piece of clothing anyways😂 (not that I have that much money anyways lol)
I am totally with you on the sustainability issue , big corporations does major damage and as normal citizens we try to cut plastic etc from daily lives , all the ads and campaigns are telling us what to do but some big brands still do stuff like this and get away with these , everyone should be responsible for the environment equally!
yea it's a question of scale. just one product line being done with sustainability in its planning could save so much carbon output that it could match an entire household's output for years. individual consumers really don't have that level of impact, short of frequent flyers switching to rail or daily truck drivers switching to electric (still needs a green grid). unsustainable companies should be taxed higher or straight up fined if they're ignoring all standards. but the problem is that the US has had an anti-regulatory streak for decades and they probably don't even have industry standards, especially for a wasteful industry like fashion.
@@alveolate exactly since in my city polythene is banned and no one uses them at household activities anymore, but all the packages we get On a daily basis are covered with plastic
Not to mention that a lot of big brands, particularly high end ones, burn unsold products. That way they stay exclusive and not on the for sale racks. Literally this kind of process just for profitability
The stiff materials are actually ankara fabric that is used in West Africa and the pattern especially of the short dress and the thickness are typical 🙌🏾
honestly, I wonder if that's the thicker, woven fabric at play. thicker fabrics hold their shape a lot better then thinner ones, so less deforming and clinging to miniscule curves (that we all have). Might be something worth looking for when clothes shopping (or to prioritize if you produce your own clothing)
Mia, on most higher end pants the pockets aren't actually fake-if they're open on both sides it means the pocket is just sewn shut and there's a tiny thread in the middle to snip. You also see this on blazers, or things with a slit (like the back of a pencil skirt). This is so the items keep their clean lines and don't stretch while being tried on. I didn't know this until I met my much fancier husband!!!
The trousers are also probably meant to be hemmed to match the owners height perfectly and that’s why the trouser leg hems are stitched ”lopsidedly” - so they are easy to rip open and tailor :)
I just found your channel recently… I spent the weekend watching so many of your videos. It is fun and sweet and love seeing Momma Maples! She seems like the best mom and love watching you guys together! It is feel good watching! Ty!
I would absolutely expect that all of these issues would be fixed during development at this kind of price point. It’s crazy that they’re sending out see-through fabric and bad hems!
Mia! I would love to see a video of you trying to re create (sew) these luxury clothes. It would be a good way to approximate the actual value of the item!
Especially that pink suit. You can thrift flip that quite easily. Buy a white suite from the thrift store, make the blazer part into a corset and dye the blazer and pants. Boom! Annnddd you can make it ombre if you want to add some drama to it.
Yesss Mia! Please be critical about the way big and expensive brands who do not make an effort AT ALL to move away from plastic packaging. Love the vid as always
MIA!! Some pockets, especially in suits, are sewn/basted shut but can be carefully cut open. Basically they do this so you can choose whether you want the pockets or if you want to maintain a more "crisp" look without the pockets bunching up. Although those pants could actually have faux pockets lol 😂....wanted to share just in case!!🖤
Yeah, I'd definitely keep it, I wear historical (re-enactment) clothing and some of them because of construction i do have some issues with but they are just so beautiful. People would think corsets or stays give issues with ability to move but no the real problem for me is the shoulder seams and narrower arms, they fit and I can raise my arms but not behind my head so I quickly learned do my hair and put my hat on first then bodice. Also long skirts (I am quite clumsy), they can also get heavy even with a bustle or pannier which I manage to bump into everything with. Still they aren't actually uncomfortable, I find them quite nice, you learn to adapt, more bending at the knees than the waist.
For that canvas dress, the original sale price is crazy, but getting it for about $200, is actually a good deal. It looks like it is well constructed out of good material. If you take care of it, it can last your whole life, which is something current culture does not appreciate. Buying a dress for $200 that has the potential for a lifetime of use actually ends up being the better investment, than buying a $20-$40 dress every year.
Don't mind me replying to an old comment. It might be the material and construction of the dress is of a decent quality, but it bothers me there was little thought of design. She should be able to raise her arms, for goodness sakes.
Personal taste, but I would take it to a dress maker/seamstress and ask for the sleeves to be either removed or readjusted. (But I really don't like poofy sleeves lol)
I LOVE that you keep calling out unnecessary plastic waste coming from big companies!!! It’s so important for people to start becoming aware of just how much needless plastic they (big corporations and individual people alike) use. Drawing attention to it is a huge first step.
I've followed you for years and have always looked up to how you support and uplift artists and small businesses. Also love how you are passionate about sustainability
@@barbarabo8316 She doesn’t know that until she buys them. She’s finding this stuff out for her audience so we know if we want to support that business or not.
What is very striking about these pieces is how well they fit. That is really great tailoring. But it's hard to overlook the fabric quality. Nothing should be scratchy or see-through. And the dress where you can't raise your arms--That's a problem. So, they're mostly super cute, a little unusual, but very expensive. At this price there should be something interesting--like the puff sleeves on the cashmere sweater. Or the strapless pink top. The dress you picked out for your mom is so cute and so flattering! And I agree with her--structure is great in a short skirt. You don't want it flopping ;) around. Great review--I've always wondered about the clothes from Goop.
you’re one of the most genuine youtubers 😊 you don’t even “feel” like a youtuber, just an actual online friend. your videos are always so creative and fun, and you’re always nothing but true to yourself. I really appreciated your transparency here (no surprise)! plus, you looked BEAUTIFUL as always 🤩🫶🏻
Hey, Mia! I have some insight for the $800 in duties... I work for DHL Express (I'm sure you've gotten plenty of package from them). I have to contact people to pay their duties. It has nothing to do with the size fo the boxes, it has everything to do with where it is coming from, where it is going to and the total value of the products. It is a percentage of the total of the price. The percentage goes up to 37.5%. Anyways, just to give you insight. I love your videos! I was recently on maternity leave and literally watched all your videos on all your channels, plus collab videos! No matter what you are recording, I am completely invested. Keep being you!
@@is2daytuesday I googled :) Turns out, you’re right! :) The black one with flowers: 97% cotton, 3% elastane The patterned one on Mamma Maples: 97% cotton, 3% elastane The black one with two types of fabric: 100% cotton The pink one at the end: 97% cotton (poplin), 3% elastane
Doesn’t the fact that it’s all cotton also mess with sustainability? I may be remembering completely wrong, but I’m sure I saw a statistic that cotton clothing took more water than other
@@vickimaccallum water maybe, but cotton is biodegradable. Synthetic fibres (aka plastic) most often just go to a waste place and sit there on the ground in a pile.
Mia hope you see this, double check those pockets. I work in fashion, welt pockets are sewn closed in production for stability during garment construction. You *should* be able to see if you can pull open the pocket if there is a stay stitch. A lot of people, men and women think their back pockets are fake when they are not. Since these are fully lined pants there's a good shot those pockets are real.
My sister left the vent on her coat sewn shut for months before I pointed out that the thread needs to be removed 😅 it was like I had given her a whole new coat
@@faultyfox669 my SO literally has a suit jacket he didn't know had functional pockets for two years. I was picking one out for a work thing and he mentioned it. I tore it open and his head exploded
THANK YOU SO MUCH for calling out the fact that corporations are doing the overwhelming majority of waste, pollution, emissions, etc. shifting that blame onto the consumer with "reduce, reuse, recycle" this and "sustainability" that is just letting the biggest perpetrators off the hook to spare their profit margins. mia is truly woke in the best way 🙌👑
Just a comment on the dress pants pocket situation - often times dress clothes like suit jackets and pants have pockets, but they lightly sew the openings shut and all you have to do is break the threads and then you have a pocket! I'd be interested to see if that was the case with those pin stripped pants 😁
The prices are beyond ridiculous. However, the pink pant set looks fantastic on you! The floral full length dress is beautiful on you! Mama Maples looks great on the dress you got her!
I have a pink trouser suit just like that (except the blazer is a full normal blazer) and it was under £100 for both from NEXT. The price Mia paid is beyond ridiculous.
@@jennymichelle81 I agree with both of you. Many ppl seem to be raving about that suit, but I thought it did nothing for her. I like the concept, but the execution was lacking, and it makes her look shapeless... and not in a cute, gamine way. Thought everything else looked great, though, including the dress on mom!
And unfortunately that rate is nearly extortionate for apparel that wasn't made in the US/Canada/Mexico. If the clothes had actually been manufactured in one of those countries it would have been zero duty fees and slightly less tax also according to the Canadian govt website for estimating duty fees and taxes.
MIA! GOOD NEWS! PROB NOT FAKE POCKETS! A lot of garments are finished with pockets being basted shut, but this is a non permanent stitch. So they should be functional! Usually you can easily open them with a seam ripper. This is common on trousers like you tried on and blazers too! ❤
Something is telling me that those particular pockets are actually fake 😂 the temporarily stitched ones come in a very high quality kind of clothes, which these are clearly not. At all.
That first dress looks AMAZING on you! I have to say, I know you don’t like red, but it really is your color! Anything with red really flatters you nicely 👌
I've been binge watching some of Mias older videos and have realised something: She can sew She can build She can decorate She can bake She can Crochet ( I think) Mia can do so many things and has so many skills it makes me want to learn loads of skills all in one go. You are definitely my comfort youtuber x
I really liked the tone of this video. You weren't shaming people who might buy Goop, but definitely trying to hold a brand accountable, especially for the little improvements they could make! Other than being a great vid, as per usual, I just thought that extra research, etc. was really cool.
I honestly think everything looked amazing! Especially with your hair you look so sleek and stylish in a very fancy way. Love these looks and I think the dresses actually both worked really well on you.
Some of the pieces are very nice, however the prices are INSANE! That dress looked so beautiful on your mom! And I loved the first dress and the cashmere sweater was very pretty!
I'll be honest, I came to this video expecting ugly clothing but I loved the look of almost everything in this video. However, without checking, I know for sure they don't carry my size (plus size) and can't afford the prices but I really enjoyed this video and seeing that Goop actually has some really nice-looking clothing that all looked great on you and your mother.
your mums laugh sounds so similar to how my genuine laugh sounds (like that laugh that is just uncontrollable and releases pressure from a tight chest, that laugh you knew you needed in that moment and got) so every time I hear her laugh it brings me an unmeasurable amount of extra joy because of how similar it is to my genuine high point. idk how to really explain it any further other than her laugh brings me the most joy than anyone else's laugh could and this is the first time i heard someone sound so similar
Good LORD. The navy blue drop-waist dress actually left me speechless. Firstly, the way the top and skirt were sewn together creates such an unflattering line on the body that I am AMAZED you looked so good in, but also, the super soft thin material on the top with the boxy scratchy skirt just remind me of those dresses that used to be popular in the 80s-90s that were like a drop-waist blouse and skirt in matching fabric, and if you took the blouse off, there was just like a tank-top that the skirt was sewn to to keep it up?? I'd see them in thrift stores a lot as a kid because nobody wanted to buy them, and this dress looks like a less attractive/incomplete version of that. Absolute NONSENSE.
I could not disagree more. I adore that style. It’s Japanese minimalist fashion and they always make it look good. The relaxed fit looks calm and graceful.
It was awful, wasn't it! She looked like a bag lady or a 60's earth mother. Baggy and loose with the 'waist' practically round her crotch...massive no for me! 😅
I just discovered your videos like 2 weeks ago! I have absolutely binged them once I did! You & Mama Maples are literally the purest, kindest souls! I love the videos with her in them as her laughter is definitely contagious. 😂 So glad you’ve stayed true to yourself after all of these years! Thanks for all you do Mia & Mama Maples! 🤍 you’ve gained a new fan for sure!
love these kinds of videos! Note for next time - can you mention what the fabric or each item is. Because I feel like if the pieces are made with natural fibers, it also increases the value imo.
When I think of Goop I always think of the questionable candle scent 😅I thought the "parachute" dress was adorable on you! $525 is painfully not worth it, though D: Happy New Year, everyone!!!
As a former sewer, I wondered if you considered the addition of sizing to certain garments when they're created. Heavy cotton is quite stiff when new, but after laundering becomes soft and supple. I'd like to know the type of fabric used to make these clothes, according to their labels, and also where they were made. 😁 Happy New Year to you, Mama Maples, and all the rest of the family.🥳🎉🎇🥂
I got really curious about the floral dress Mia showed (more for checking the dress pattern than for buying tho), and according to the website it's made with "comfortable Italian stretch-cotton: 97% cotton, 3% elastane" and it needs to be dry clean 🤔
I just want her videos to be 3 hours long. She's so adorable, funny and you can see the effort she puts in every video! Love to mama maples tooooo always! ❤
@@Jacqueline7 Yeah...every time I order from my favourite clothing brand (BlackMilk from Australia) I'm paying $25-50 in customs fees so I have to add that to the cost of the item when considering whether or not it's even worth it lol
mia hahah you saying you’re gonna take a nap straight after this is sooo relatable!!! this video was amazing as always and so fun to watch!! you always make me laugh and smile :)) you and mama maples looked STUNNING!!! but yeah i do agree with all you said about the packaging and the prices and all that 🤝🏼💌🫶🏼
Love that you care about the packaging and the impacts these companies have on our environment. I would love to see a clothing/jewelry and ect company that is ethic and you do a review in them. They are so hard to find!
Hi Mia, I love your review videos of these brands, it's really helpful! I think when you're giving a description of the clothing, along with the feel of the material, it would be great info to read the tag to share what the material actually is, the different fabric content percentages and where it was made! So we can all really know what that canvas-like material really is! 😄
I just had to get osme surgery and i have been in bed all day not feeling good. But I decided to Watch some of your videos while I try to crochet, and it has cheered me up so much, thank you so much for making videos. Also could you make another crochet video, they are so funny 😄❤🤩
I’ve never ever cared for gooop but YOU SLAYED EVERY ITEM IN THIS like I would never gravitate to pick a lot of these but u looked absolutely gorgeous in like everything and the shape and everything just beautiful!! Like the first dress and flare style pants are def top picks.

Girl, I haven’t seen u more satisfied with clothes than with Goop! This style definitely suits you and your shape the best , you look elegant, chic and mysterious.
I truly thought that dress was the ugliest thing in the world until Mama Maples put it on. She made it a total slay ✨
So cute on her except for the neckline. Looks like it was strangling her.
Me too!! I hated it on the rack lmao, it looked terrible. But as soon as she stepped out in it I was wowed! She looked gorgeous in it.
i dont think it flattered her body. If it was longer it could have worked. Its a dress you wont wear many times. In fact I dont think a lot of the clothes fitted well. The cuts did not seem so good.

It's truly beautiful on her. I'd find every excuse to wear such a piece.
Looked great, though the fact you can't fully raise your arms...

Buying a dress for $200 that has the potential for a lifetime of use actually ends up being the better investment, than buying a $20-$40 dress every year.
Totally agree! I started doing that about 5 years ago and now I have clothes for life. My brands: Johnny Was and Citron Santa Monica.
@@vivianstewart7523 Excellent! Thank you for the brand recommendations! I have several Bernie Dexter dresses. ;)
Don't mind me replying to an old comment. It might be the material and construction of the dress is of a decent quality, but it bothers me there was little thought of design. She should be able to raise her arms, for goodness sakes.
@@serellie Haha, fair enough. ;D I don't have experience with that material, but it might loosen up as it is worn, like denim.
Personal taste, but I would take it to a dress maker/seamstress and ask for the sleeves to be either removed or readjusted. (But I really don't like poofy sleeves lol)
I LOVE that you keep calling out unnecessary plastic waste coming from big companies!!! It’s so important for people to start becoming aware of just how much needless plastic they (big corporations and individual people alike) use. Drawing attention to it is a huge first step.
you should use that first dress as a pattern template someday! fits so well! and then you could give it better sleeves
@@pliktl just to make em stretchy so you can lift your arms
For those high prices you have every right to scrutinize the workmanship and quality!!
It should be pristine and amazing, not just okay!!
And need a few stitches here and there
I found like 5 adorable grandma sweaters at the thrift store yesterday and literally thought about how obsessed you would be with them lol 🤍
RUclips needs to add the option to post pics i wanna see tooo
@@cpalm9696 yesss
@@cpalm9696 omg yes
@@cpalm9696oh that’s such a good idea!!!
Yeah I second that! We could all do a worldwide Thrift hunt for the perfect Mia outfit!!
I've followed you for years and have always looked up to how you support and uplift artists and small businesses. Also love how you are passionate about sustainability
We love a planet protecting queen 👑 , Mia's always looking behind the brands and mentioning environtmental protection! 💚
And then she buys them anyway :(
@@barbarabo8316 She doesn’t know that until she buys them. She’s finding this stuff out for her audience so we know if we want to support that business or not.
I think mama maples can just make anything look good tbh
What is very striking about these pieces is how well they fit. That is really great tailoring. But it's hard to overlook the fabric quality. Nothing should be scratchy or see-through. And the dress where you can't raise your arms--That's a problem. So, they're mostly super cute, a little unusual, but very expensive. At this price there should be something interesting--like the puff sleeves on the cashmere sweater. Or the strapless pink top. The dress you picked out for your mom is so cute and so flattering! And I agree with her--structure is great in a short skirt. You don't want it flopping ;) around. Great review--I've always wondered about the clothes from Goop.
you’re one of the most genuine youtubers 😊 you don’t even “feel” like a youtuber, just an actual online friend. your videos are always so creative and fun, and you’re always nothing but true to yourself. I really appreciated your transparency here (no surprise)! plus, you looked BEAUTIFUL as always 🤩🫶🏻
LOVE that you care about sustainability & the environment 💙
Hey, Mia! I have some insight for the $800 in duties... I work for DHL Express (I'm sure you've gotten plenty of package from them). I have to contact people to pay their duties. It has nothing to do with the size fo the boxes, it has everything to do with where it is coming from, where it is going to and the total value of the products. It is a percentage of the total of the price. The percentage goes up to 37.5%. Anyways, just to give you insight. I love your videos! I was recently on maternity leave and literally watched all your videos on all your channels, plus collab videos! No matter what you are recording, I am completely invested. Keep being you!
I think we need fabric composition on each item, Mia :)
Because without it it’s harder to define the quality. 😊
Yes! People always judge the quality by feel and look. But whats more important is how it looks and feels like after washing 😅
@@is2daytuesday I googled :) Turns out, you’re right! :)
The black one with flowers:
97% cotton, 3% elastane
The patterned one on Mamma Maples:
97% cotton, 3% elastane
The black one with two types of fabric:
100% cotton
The pink one at the end:
97% cotton (poplin), 3% elastane
Doesn’t the fact that it’s all cotton also mess with sustainability? I may be remembering completely wrong, but I’m sure I saw a statistic that cotton clothing took more water than other
@@vickimaccallum water maybe, but cotton is biodegradable. Synthetic fibres (aka plastic) most often just go to a waste place and sit there on the ground in a pile.
Mia hope you see this, double check those pockets. I work in fashion, welt pockets are sewn closed in production for stability during garment construction. You *should* be able to see if you can pull open the pocket if there is a stay stitch. A lot of people, men and women think their back pockets are fake when they are not. Since these are fully lined pants there's a good shot those pockets are real.
My sister left the vent on her coat sewn shut for months before I pointed out that the thread needs to be removed 😅 it was like I had given her a whole new coat
I always see if I can rip “fake” pockets open
Is the thing with the hemline similar? Since it's only held in with a couple of threads, I feel like it has something to do with that or tailoring.
However a lot of pockets are not deep enough too
@@faultyfox669 my SO literally has a suit jacket he didn't know had functional pockets for two years. I was picking one out for a work thing and he mentioned it. I tore it open and his head exploded
THANK YOU SO MUCH for calling out the fact that corporations are doing the overwhelming majority of waste, pollution, emissions, etc. shifting that blame onto the consumer with "reduce, reuse, recycle" this and "sustainability" that is just letting the biggest perpetrators off the hook to spare their profit margins. mia is truly woke in the best way 🙌👑
Just a comment on the dress pants pocket situation - often times dress clothes like suit jackets and pants have pockets, but they lightly sew the openings shut and all you have to do is break the threads and then you have a pocket! I'd be interested to see if that was the case with those pin stripped pants 😁
Love that you're talking more and more about ethics and sustainability!!! ❤️❤️ SO many more people need to understand and shop responsibly
Ok but why do Mia and mama maples look amazing in EVERYTHING?! 🔥
Because she’s a size 0 lmao it’s not hard to figure out
Fr real im 14 minutes into the video and every look has basically been a slay
The prices are beyond ridiculous.
However, the pink pant set looks fantastic on you! The floral full length dress is beautiful on you! Mama Maples looks great on the dress you got her!
I have a pink trouser suit just like that (except the blazer is a full normal blazer) and it was under £100 for both from NEXT. The price Mia paid is beyond ridiculous.
That pink pant suit looked horrendous.
@driverjayne Agreed ..bad fit, trousers looked like they had shrunk in the wash.
@@jennymichelle81 I agree with both of you. Many ppl seem to be raving about that suit, but I thought it did nothing for her. I like the concept, but the execution was lacking, and it makes her look shapeless... and not in a cute, gamine way. Thought everything else looked great, though, including the dress on mom!
All of these clothes are overpriced. Cute, but wayyyyy too expensive.
If I’m gonna spend this much money on something it better be specially tailored and absolutely immaculately made with thought and care.
With gold thread and diamonds.
Mom being so thankful is everything. She is such an angel
The charge on your order wasn't on the size of the box; it was calculated on the VALUE of the order.
And unfortunately that rate is nearly extortionate for apparel that wasn't made in the US/Canada/Mexico. If the clothes had actually been manufactured in one of those countries it would have been zero duty fees and slightly less tax also according to the Canadian govt website for estimating duty fees and taxes.
MIA! GOOD NEWS! PROB NOT FAKE POCKETS! A lot of garments are finished with pockets being basted shut, but this is a non permanent stitch. So they should be functional! Usually you can easily open them with a seam ripper. This is common on trousers like you tried on and blazers too! ❤
THIS IS LIFE CHANGING thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Is the thing with the hemline similar? Since it's only held in with a couple of threads, I feel like it has something to do with that or tailoring.
The hemline did not have a basting stitch, which is why it a was so floppy
Something is telling me that those particular pockets are actually fake 😂 the temporarily stitched ones come in a very high quality kind of clothes, which these are clearly not. At all.
Huh, interesting.
That dress was an Eh for me and as soon as MaMa Maples put it on .. I LOVED IT!!! It looked soo good on her!!! She always pulls it off EVERYTIME!!!!
That first dress looks AMAZING on you! I have to say, I know you don’t like red, but it really is your color! Anything with red really flatters you nicely 👌
The fact that they‘re so obsessed with being „natural“ and „non-toxic“ and then they wrap their overpriced see-through clothing in plastic 1000 times😭
You and your mother are so cute 🥰 Your mother really is the sweetest, warmest most open person and that's were you get it from, love you guys ❤
I've been binge watching some of Mias older videos and have realised something:
She can sew
She can build
She can decorate
She can bake
She can Crochet ( I think)
Mia can do so many things and has so many skills it makes me want to learn loads of skills all in one go. You are definitely my comfort youtuber x
Mia is incredibly talented and inspiring. But hey, why not start one or a few of these new hobbies/talents? You can do it! 😊
I really liked the tone of this video. You weren't shaming people who might buy Goop, but definitely trying to hold a brand accountable, especially for the little improvements they could make! Other than being a great vid, as per usual, I just thought that extra research, etc. was really cool.
I can't be the only one who thinks that last dress (color as well) was made for Mia. She looked so good in it!!
I honestly think everything looked amazing! Especially with your hair you look so sleek and stylish in a very fancy way. Love these looks and I think the dresses actually both worked really well on you.
Your mom can honestly make anything look good... That dress was looking great on her!!!
Some of the pieces are very nice, however the prices are INSANE! That dress looked so beautiful on your mom! And I loved the first dress and the cashmere sweater was very pretty!
I'll be honest, I came to this video expecting ugly clothing but I loved the look of almost everything in this video. However, without checking, I know for sure they don't carry my size (plus size) and can't afford the prices but I really enjoyed this video and seeing that Goop actually has some really nice-looking clothing that all looked great on you and your mother.
Mama Maples looked INCREDIBLE in that dress!!! and Mia in that floral dress!
your mums laugh sounds so similar to how my genuine laugh sounds (like that laugh that is just uncontrollable and releases pressure from a tight chest, that laugh you knew you needed in that moment and got) so every time I hear her laugh it brings me an unmeasurable amount of extra joy because of how similar it is to my genuine high point. idk how to really explain it any further other than her laugh brings me the most joy than anyone else's laugh could and this is the first time i heard someone sound so similar
Mia! The first dress is absolutely STUNNING on you. It looks so so good. I hope you keep it!
The dress for your mom looks amazing on her ❤
The floral dress really looked super good on you, keep it for a wedding or some formal dinner!
Good LORD. The navy blue drop-waist dress actually left me speechless. Firstly, the way the top and skirt were sewn together creates such an unflattering line on the body that I am AMAZED you looked so good in, but also, the super soft thin material on the top with the boxy scratchy skirt just remind me of those dresses that used to be popular in the 80s-90s that were like a drop-waist blouse and skirt in matching fabric, and if you took the blouse off, there was just like a tank-top that the skirt was sewn to to keep it up?? I'd see them in thrift stores a lot as a kid because nobody wanted to buy them, and this dress looks like a less attractive/incomplete version of that. Absolute NONSENSE.
I could not disagree more. I adore that style. It’s Japanese minimalist fashion and they always make it look good. The relaxed fit looks calm and graceful.
She looked like she was wearing a sleeping bag 😩 it’s so ugly
It was awful, wasn't it! She looked like a bag lady or a 60's earth mother. Baggy and loose with the 'waist' practically round her crotch...massive no for me! 😅
i’m obsessed with ur mom she’s so cute and sweet and pretty!! and the dress looks great on her
One of the things i love about Mia is her honest review is a legit honest review❤
That dress is PERFECT on mama maples ! She looks so fun and grand !
I just discovered your videos like 2 weeks ago! I have absolutely binged them once I did! You & Mama Maples are literally the purest, kindest souls! I love the videos with her in them as her laughter is definitely contagious. 😂 So glad you’ve stayed true to yourself after all of these years! Thanks for all you do Mia & Mama Maples! 🤍 you’ve gained a new fan for sure!
Mama Maples is SERVING in that dress! Absolutely gorgeous piece, and it looks perfect on her.
I love your vibe with, formally, Alberta common sense. You are my favourite RUclipsr!
I’m so glad you’re putting this out there and calling them out! This stuff matters!!
love these kinds of videos! Note for next time - can you mention what the fabric or each item is. Because I feel like if the pieces are made with natural fibers, it also increases the value imo.
Miaaaa you should try and recreate the pieces yourself, make them by hand. I would absolutely watch that!!!💕💕
the grey sweater thing was beautiful. :) and mama maples looked stunning in that dress!
Okay, but the floral dress and the last pink dress look so so so good on you!!
When I think of Goop I always think of the questionable candle scent 😅I thought the "parachute" dress was adorable on you! $525 is painfully not worth it, though D: Happy New Year, everyone!!!
Mia could make that same dress in a couple of hours for a lot less money! The company name is perfect... It all is an overpriced pile of goop.
As a former sewer, I wondered if you considered the addition of sizing to certain garments when they're created. Heavy cotton is quite stiff when new, but after laundering becomes soft and supple. I'd like to know the type of fabric used to make these clothes, according to their labels, and also where they were made. 😁 Happy New Year to you, Mama Maples, and all the rest of the family.🥳🎉🎇🥂
I got really curious about the floral dress Mia showed (more for checking the dress pattern than for buying tho), and according to the website it's made with "comfortable Italian stretch-cotton: 97% cotton, 3% elastane" and it needs to be dry clean 🤔
I just want her videos to be 3 hours long. She's so adorable, funny and you can see the effort she puts in every video! Love to mama maples tooooo always! ❤
The way that mama maples looked in that dress!! She was pulling it off so well!
I watch your videos as a calming background video while I do my work 😭 love you so much ❤
Always love Mia giving facts and coming for the brands throat😂 I love those earrings!
Duties aren't based on the size of the box; they're based on the value of the goods. The duties were high, because the clothing was expensive.
Dude that’s fucked. Canada getting shit on with all these shipping duties all the time
@@Jacqueline7 Yeah...every time I order from my favourite clothing brand (BlackMilk from Australia) I'm paying $25-50 in customs fees so I have to add that to the cost of the item when considering whether or not it's even worth it lol
Can I just say that I love Mia's little changing-corner😂
mia hahah you saying you’re gonna take a nap straight after this is sooo relatable!!! this video was amazing as always and so fun to watch!! you always make me laugh and smile :)) you and mama maples looked STUNNING!!! but yeah i do agree with all you said about the packaging and the prices and all that 🤝🏼💌🫶🏼
Your mom looked adorable in that dress, so so so mod!! What a cute nod to 1960s fashion, I love the print too
I love that mama maples is so committed to wearing her colors now. That blue was poppin!
Seeing the learning curve and passion go into learning about sustainability over the past year has been BEAUTIFUL, WE LOVE THIS
Love that you care about the packaging and the impacts these companies have on our environment. I would love to see a clothing/jewelry and ect company that is ethic and you do a review in them. They are so hard to find!
Hi Mia, I love your review videos of these brands, it's really helpful! I think when you're giving a description of the clothing, along with the feel of the material, it would be great info to read the tag to share what the material actually is, the different fabric content percentages and where it was made! So we can all really know what that canvas-like material really is! 😄
I just had to get osme surgery and i have been in bed all day not feeling good. But I decided to Watch some of your videos while I try to crochet, and it has cheered me up so much, thank you so much for making videos. Also could you make another crochet video, they are so funny 😄❤🤩
i don’t usually like the shape of dresses like that dark blue one but it really looks great on you mia!
Your mom looks like a paper doll in that dress in the best way possible! ❤
She needs her own review channel at this point😂 we love her so much. Or a mother daughter channel too😂
I’ve never ever cared for gooop but YOU SLAYED EVERY ITEM IN THIS like I would never gravitate to pick a lot of these but u looked absolutely gorgeous in like everything and the shape and everything just beautiful!! Like the first dress and flare style pants are def top picks.
I completely agree ❤
That dress looked INCREDIBLE on your mom! Fit her perfectly! 💜
Each and every dress looked so so so so pretty. You should keep them all. It was just so good ❤
