There are some beautiful options in fair intimates. The care, thought, and time that goes into these little lovelies is evident. These are not the pieces that come six to a bag and slide through the checkout without a thought to one's wallet. These are most likely the type of pieces that are thoughtfully bought over a period of months and appreciated as little works of art.

Ideally, I'd love for these to be items that could be composted at the end of their lives as useful garments, but many of them do involve some sort of elastic or nylon lace. I've chosen to list pieces with differing ethical standards, so delve into these brands' about pages, consider the fiber content, and make thoughtful decisions. While intimates are (for most of us) necessities, they may also turn out to be the foundations of not only our outfits but our values lived out.

Sewing one's own intimates is also a possibility. Fabric scraps or old t-shirts can be turned into useful bits with the assistance of these lovely patterns:

Love! I wear a lot of pact undies after a recommendation from you awhile back, but my few base range bras always make me feel like a queen.
