 It has been so difficult to choose what's the right undergarments' to buy for every season. Now with this eco bug of sustainable and green living its even more difficult.  As a person to start doing the right thing for planet is the first step. I choose to wear only natural fiber. This made my life a bit easier . Rather than going gaga about high end brands, I search for natural fiber clothing in regular stores. That's going one step closer to sustainable lifestyle. Every wondered What underwear should I wear. To start with departmental store shopping.  Walmart is the best place to find all the undergarments with are 100% cotton underwear from Hanes & fruit and loom are the best. Walmart also has few bra which are wire free, lined simple everyday wear bras.  Amazon prime has Fruit of the loom women wire free cotton bralette 2-pack. These would be your sustainable socks and underwear brands Now choosing organic with GOTS , fair trade  PACT - wear pact has the best choic

Going Local

-
One of the solution for being a part of this sustainable fashion movement and green living is going local #golocal .Always attend a local fair and flea markets in your town.
During holiday season a lot are arranged, these days even in local farmers markets people are setting up thier stalls with their handmade items.To be more concious of what you are buying check if they are sourcing the raw materials or goods from local vendors and suppliers.If they are then the complete supply chain is local. In my view this is 100% green lifestyle product.

Yesterday for the first time iRA Threads visited a local flea.

I drove 15 miles to find the place. A lane filled with fabric,upholister,rugs,spandex stores. From a blog got to know fabrics or super textiles is the shop to try first. Spent around 2 hours and picked up amazing gauze,cotton fabrics and 2 rayons for a total of 24$. They had so many cotton solids. Superb quality.There reminant basket had a lot but didnt have patience or energy left so got one blue rayon for skirt sewing. Felt so happy for the cost. In my view the store is great. Each fabric was 3$/yard. 1$/2$, You wont find many. Lot of choice of spandex, solid knits and wonderful printed rayons. Best is I get my favorite ,amazing cottons and muslins etc.I went to the place without any expectations and no idea i

Why don’t we all relate and create this cocoon for our clothing. Hmm here flows my thoughts 💭 about this, long sentence with lot of hidden correlation of birth- life. Cotton Seed -Nurture( plant) - Flower- Cotton- Human Intervention->Spin (Charka)- Weave(Loom)- Knots - Cloth ****Tada that’s it **** So the fashion industry or designers come in Play for making better textile tools for weaver to use, use natural dyes, create awareness of color schemes, show and give some ideas of motif with this awareness of culture and humanity.
