Hi! One addition: when we talk about "grams", it means "grams per square meter" of fabric. In case you wondered ;-)

Justine - seriously, you should put this into chapters and then by the end of the series into a book.  You have no idea how helpful this is.

I am so excited for the series! aand a confession here: Justine inspired me to build a capsule wardrobe and moreover, to try to learn sewing for myself! I am not planning to become a fashion designer or anything (not creative and cool enough for that haha) but I just want to have all in my hands: the fabric choosing, the ethical part of not purchasing from fast retailers any more, and being sure of what I wear-at least I can learn to sew basic pieces foe myself, we'll see... anyways, I am motivated and started searching for sewing classes yesterday. But I actually would never come to that conclusion, if I hadnt't been a "Justine club member" :) she is so influential and inspiring!

[faylynaddams]

Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve learned so much and plan on making better purchase decisions based on what you’ve posted.

[staceyyvonne]

So helpful! I've been downsizing my closet but upgrading my clothes because I no long want to support the fast fashion industry.... your videos have shown me how to find quality, that's worth the money, that's made in a healthy environment. Thank you Xx

[vidhijain]

I love the fact that you're talking about this, fabric is so important and the different quality of fabrics can also influence a look

[tristandevereaux]

Very excited for this series!! I'd love to see a later episode deal with the very newest fabric innovations & technology.

[BlairWaldorf]

What a great video series...so many people are into fast fashion and it's so nice to have a channel about affordable fashion that can be translated into high fashion if you want to explore that avenue.

hi Justine, thank you so much for the explicit explanation! I am so much interested in this topic - fabrics, especially fabrics made of natural fibres:-)! When shopping, I always feel and check the fabrics before I try it on. If the fabrics upset me, I will just pass no matter how attractive the dress is...Looking forward to more episodes in this little series!

[debasmitachaudhury]

Thank you so much! I always wondered what does knitted mean while buying something online. I am very excited for this series as I really don't know much about fabric.

[Clarrr]

You sound so excited about this video, it's adorable! :)

[Butterflybleu]

Great video! Tweeds and woollen garments are great for winter wear. Justine would you please consider a video about wet weather gear? I’ve spent hours viewing waterproof coats and there is such a huge diversity in fabrics and prices. I am looking for something to keep me dry, without having to use an umbrella, when walking the dog and also when visiting areas I cannot drive.

Hello Justine, I just found out about your channel the other day. I'm so glad you are doing a series on fabrics as it is something I have always wanted to know more about. Even though your channel tends to focus more on women, as a man, I think your content is fantastic. I love getting an inside perspective on the fashion world. Love your channel and looking forward to the rest of this series!

[soniyab]

Hey Justine! You are creating a class of knowledgeable audience! Lots of love!!😊😍

[karensetchfield]

Ooooh, really Justine, I’m a “granny” knitting on two needles, haha 😄
I can’t keep out of haberdasheries, I’ve got to get my hands on all the yarns - so many different fabrics and colours these days! I’ve got three unfinished knitting projects on the go just now, what bliss!!

Thank you very much for your videos, I learn a lot from them.

[julijanacvejic]

OMG this video is great! I was desperately in need of this kind of advices and informations, because i don't now much about it and don't have anybody to ask. Our grandmothers knew what is what, but nowdays we women just buy chlothes like blind sheeps, without any knowledge and thinking.
I am going more and more to my tailor now and sewing skirts, jackets and blazers i wear. So your series of videos on this topic came in the perfect moment for me.😃
You are soooo amazing, love your personality and work, God bless you Justine!

[lindathompson]

Hi Justine, Yes finally a in depth series on fabrics i can't wait, just what I've been hoping & looking for, for so long this will be very helpful thank you. :-) :-) :-)

[shorea]

Off topic: I love your finger accessories.

[Dibdib]

Thanks Justine I’m a sewer so I know a little about fabrics but am looking forward to the rest of this series. This was very informative 😀💕

[janeann]

I am taking a 3d art class and a lot of the class has to do with knowing and imagining how the material will look on a certain piece. Its been such a challenge. So when I watch this video I have an appreciate about what I could learn. I am super excited about this series. Can't wait! Justine I love your videos!
