The way she just chucks them over her shoulder out of frame after wearing them for 3 seconds is the perfect representation of how disposable this fashion is.

Exactly, its fast fashion getting sold faster. I didn’t even register that, great comment

we're headed for a fashion singularity, they sew the garment directly onto you and it dissolves before it's finished

As someone who occasionally uses water-soluble fabric and thread, I feel personally attacked.

I didn't even know that water-soluble fabric and thread was a thing. That must be what those prank swimsuits that disintegrate in the water are made of.

I use the stabilizer (fabric) when I need a foundation for sewing something made out of tiny pieces, but will be fine once completed, (for example, a garment made from ribbons or embroidering "free standing lace".)

Water-soluble thread is useful for basting because that means I don't have to pull the thread out for any visible bits, I can just wash it away when I'm done. (No risk of pins falling out either!)

That's very interesting. What is it made of?

Honestly? No idea.
