Late to the party... came here searching for info on blue jeans, but I recently found out about PACT, which has some nice patterns and colors, and also has special collections supporting various charities.

@ Jess – Yes, Etsy is so awesome! There’s so many options that I didn’t even try to ‘go there’, but you’re right – it’s an excellent resource for ethical underthings. =)

Etsy is also a really great source for underthings. Underwear more than bras, unless you’re on the smaller side, unfortunately…but its definitely not to be overlooked!

@ Meghan – I know, I know. But you figure at Victoria’s Secret you’re paying 3/$25 . . . it’s pretty comparable. Of course it’s nothing compared to the Jockey multi-pack at the drugstore, haha. For me, I’m willing to pay more when it comes to supporting my beliefs. Plus, they’ll last a looong time. I put on a pair of underwear just the other day, and I realized they had been given to me . . . by my first boyfriend ever . . . in high school! That was over a decade ago! So, $10 for something that may last 10 years doesn’t seem so bad, after all.

@ Kelly – Thanks and I agree – thanks Becks!

@ katrina – Thank you, that looks awesome. So many good ideas here, you ladies rock!

@ Valerie – Awesome, that place looks great. I can’t wait to explore their site!

I haven’t bought from them but I did find this site last week. It appears that they try their best to tour their suppliers facility’s to make sure they are fare trade-sweatshop free, and also use low impact dyes.

If you wanted to try making your own bra you could get vintage fabric and use one of the patterns from this place.

@ Allison – Congratulations! That is so exciting, you’re going to have so much fun next spring. =) And compost and line drying on top of it, that’s great! Let me know how it all goes.

@ Sarah – I would never laugh at that! That sounds awesome, I’m totally going to look into that.

@ Becks – YES! Love it, this is on my list. Thanks for the links. =)

@ Lauren – Me too!

@ Kathryn – Oh yes, this is timed intentionally. Great gifts for the upcoming season.

@ Kate – I feel you so much lady. Being pregnant, my Cs have shot up into the DD-Es, and I’m having SUCH a tough time. I know they’re less than sexy, but I’m loving the variety of sports bras available now, because they give great shape (instead of just squishing them flat like the sports bras of my youth) and tons of support. Faeries Dance has some pretty cute ones for super cheap – you should check them out!
