Has anyone seen any good knitted midi skirts? I have a black one from H&M a few years ago and would like another in preferably not black.

@SoundMachine Please don't shop at Shein, its exploitative, fast fashion rubbish. Literally the worst of the worst of clothing.

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 00:02

@Pinktruffle so is everywhere else unfortunately, fast fashion too that the world we live in! And it's far from rubbish some of the things I have bought from there have been sold in high end shops just for cheaper prices!! Why would you pay more if you can pay less!!
This thread is not really the thread for politics the poor op was merely asking for help!💁‍♀️

@Pinktruffle the quality at shein is the same as every other shop now and telling people where they should or shouldn't shop is really rude and uncalled for

Are you able to recommend some sustainable and ethical clothing brands? Ones without huge price tags.

OP - I have a thick knitted midi skirt from Primark. That is surprisingly really good quality. Although I might get flamed from the fast fashion police for shopping there.

sandgrown · 09/11/2022 00:48

There were some knitted midi skirts in Tesco .

WowStarsWow · 09/11/2022 09:15

Seconding @Pinktruffle. Everywhere, even primark, is better than Shein.

OP have you looked on Shopstyle (clothing search engine)?

crochetmonkey74 · 09/11/2022 09:22

Have you tried Vinted OP?

I got a (vintage but I remember the first time round) late 90s Monsoon one

It's lovely and i remember someone at uni having the same one!

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 10:14

@WowStarsWow how on earth is primark better than shein??? How is any fast fashion brand better than an other! Primark was on channel 4 a few years ago for its "unethical practices", I take it you shop at primark and want to be seen as a better person! If you've got a point make it don't just spout shit!

WowStarsWow · 09/11/2022 10:20

@Puddinandpie I’m sorry if my post was a bit blunt. I know it can be hard when you’re low on funds and feel like you have no choice where to shop. Hope things improve for you. 👍🏻

GettingStuffed · 09/11/2022 10:30

I thought I'd commented on this, I'd recommend Nakd . They have some lovely ones and whatever I've bought from there is good quality and not too pricey.

bravelittletiger · 09/11/2022 10:33

There was an absolutely amazing one in jigsaw I saw the other day- black with a white swirl pattern in. Really heavy and good quality. It was expensive though- I think £195(!) although they've got 20% off at the moment

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 10:54

@WowStarsWow hahaha lol OK if that makes you feel better, wow i think that is what is known as bullying, your a mean girl aren't you?

Thefriendlyone · 09/11/2022 11:03

op I have this one, albeit in a sort of grey indigo colour. It’s very flattering on and I’d advise sizing down. The price here is fab.

bravelittletiger · 09/11/2022 15:04

@Puddinandpie I think that was a sincere apology...I think maybe you've read into that a malice that didn't exist

Lucia574 · 09/11/2022 15:20

Sezane have a great one. So do The White Company.

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 15:58

@bravelittletiger then that's more fool you! Implying that someone doesn't have any money is not a sorry in my book!

Please do not support this awful company. The programme on C4 last night highlighted just how terrible the situation is for their workers.

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 17:36

@Lily073 sorry but I will shop wherever I want to thank you very much! No different to anywhere else you shop, google it! even the very high end shops exploit their workers that's just how it is!!

JaneJeffer · 09/11/2022 18:05

I saw that @Lily073 they manufacture way more clothes than any other company so are definitely the most unethical place to buy from.

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 19:55

@JaneJeffer you do realise that shein actually manufacture clothes for other companies/shops too for example they manufacture for next, boohoo, forever 21, h&m, also high end places like Karen millen, anthropologie, simple retro, cider, loads of other also, I've actually had items items turn up that I've bought from shein with those labels in, they are just many manufacturers outsourced and selling items from many other retailers! I've just love how clever people are and jump on the bandwagon of others rather than doing the research and making their own minds up, you do realise all these channel 4 shows are hyped up to get the views and boy does it work!!

Puddinandpie · 09/11/2022 19:57

It's called an "idiot box" for a reason
