Trick question, the $400 dress is made in the same sweat shop as the $15 lingerie.

Just be naked, same effect, less money in my experience. (Unless you mean like underwear, then unfortunately we're stuck, but everything else, yeah, thrift)

I meant underwear. Which is a shame because bras are so freaking expensive.

TJ Maxx and similar stores have pretty good prices on basic bras. I got three for $18 like three years ago and I haven't needed any others since.

this is funny but it's definitely not remotely true, imo. There's loads of good retailers out there, from small-time Etsy sellers to full-on brands. Goodonyou is a great (albeit, not exhaustive) directory for sustainable fashion brands.

The downside, of course, is that they're often more expensive.
