Bras reportedly made from soy bean casings have been launched. Organic clothing online retailer FaeriesDance.com now offers bras that are reportedly made from the soy bean casings discarded during tofu manufacturing.

According to FaeriesDance, the bras are made from a new fabric called Azlon. The said fabric is reportedly developed using the fibrous outer casings of soy beans which would otherwise be thrown out during tofu manufacturing. When reclaimed and mixed with organically grown cotton, the casings are then processed using a closed loop system. The said system makes possible minimal waste and also guarantees no chemical residues.

According to FaeriesDance owner Adrienne Catone, Azlon is good for the environment since the fabric is organic. Catone also shared that a few years ago, her company found soy fabric panties. These were reportedly mostly conservative styles with a boy short and high cut brief from Canada-based Dream Designs.

The bras made out of soy casings are now available at Catone’s online store. Prices start at just $25 per bra and $16 per panty.

FaeriesDance is an eco-friendly online retailer that offers sustainable apparel and intimates. Named after the mythological woodland creatures that live in the heart of the forest, FaeriesDance also offers organic cotton lingerie. The company says part of their goals is to provide a complete environmentally conscious shopping experience for their customers and to sell more eco-friendly clothing, accessories and intimates such as the soy lace bras and panties. The company also says that they use other sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics as well as dyes.

Knitwear for ladies’ fashion only really became popular in the 1920’s.  Of course women knitted before this time but only for underwear or sportswear.  In fact, polo neck jumpers received their name from polo players and the word ‘sweater’ is supposed to have derived from fanatical 19th century health fiends who exercised dressed in wool.  The V-neck also became synonymous with cricketers. Furthermore, on the golf course, both men and women wore brightly patterned knitted tops, often in a marked, large check design.

A rapid progress in technology meant industrial knitting machines were introduced in the 1920’s.  Textile workers operated knitting looms and produced huge quantities of jersey material.  This was then cut up into shapes and sewn together.

By dint of further advances in knitting, the 1930’s bore witness to knitwear becoming more elaborate and chic.  A fashionable woman would look coolly glamorous in a short sleeved knitted top.

The beauty of today’s knitwear is its adaptability and adjustability: a knitted cardigan can assume an open look to allow the T-shirt, top or shirt underneath to be visible; a knitted jacket can be worn closed with a pretty pin or tasteful brooch, or to draw attention to the buttons which in themselves can be a pleasing feature.
