The better criticism of polyester is from a sustainability and usability standpoint. Plenty of people avoid polyester for environmental reasons, and/or because it's not breathable, it can cause skin reactions, and it sheds microplastics.

"I'll buy from sustainable fashion brands when they're more size inclusive" is a sentiment I see very often. Thing is, they very much exist, and they need your patronage. When you don't purchase from them or even signal boost them, they close up. Businesses need customers.

The "budget" I'm running on is "I respect the labor of garment workers and I buy clothing way less often in order to save up for pieces that I really, really want." You can always wait for their sales or search these brands on secondhand resale sites, too - I do this as well. :)

It would be very difficult to achieve the iconic silhouette of a Selkie dress with any other textile within the same price range. Even silk organza wouldn't hold its shape as well and would be wildly more expensive.

Again, though, this doesn't make a garment "overpriced" for merely being made out of polyester - THIS is the rhetoric I take issue with. We should have as little polyester in our wardrobes as possible, and a lot of things are made out of it when they don't necessarily have to be.

Now, let's talk about why polyester is probably the best choice for Selkie's designs, given their price range. It begins with color choice - the vibrant, intricately-patterned designs intrinsic to Selkie's "Brand" are best executed by a colorfast textile like polyester.

@jovisuwall exactly - and sometimes, polyester is the best choice for a garment! it would be so insanely difficult to achieve selkie's pleats, puffiness, or bright, vibrant colors with anything else for their price range

Hot take: grandma clothing doesn't really exist, you just lack what it takes to recontextualize the garments you're finding into actual outfits. That's a skill that can be developed. Also, this is just untrue - if anything, thrift stores are overrun with past microtrends.

"you can get cheaper clothes, just go thrifting" Thrift stores generally have stuff mostly older people have thrown out, not online fashion trends popular amongst younger queer people. There are 6 charity shops literally on my road and they're all mostly grandma clothing lol.

Now, by and large, you see influencers showing off collections of things like Stanley cups. Fads / trendy items that they are actively trying to sell to you. They don't feel genuinely passionate about these things, they just have an affiliate marketing code.

*Brand that is clearly using sustainability as a gimmick voice*: While certifications are great, we find that they tend to be focused more on profits than on actual sustainability, which is why we decided to have absolutely none of them at all :)

I've noticed that it affects the way that people see collections as a whole - they see it as something you bought in an instant vs something accumulated over time. If you have a large collection of something, it must mean you're wealthy vs it means youre passionate and dedicated

They trained you into apathy by convincing you that there was nothing you could do about it, so you might as well do whatever you want. Thus, consumers continued to buy their products whilst shouting, "you can't blame individuals, blame corporations!"
