Organic and Unbleached/Undyed
Ecoland Organic Cotton Lady's Gift Set / B0010ZE528
I have a lot of skin allergies, so I spend a lot of time looking for unbleached and undyed clothing. This isn't very easy - even "natural" colored clothing is often bleached to be just the right shade of white or dyed to look extra "cotton-colored". These Ecoland clothes are both organic and unbleached/undyed which means that I'm able to escape the allergenic issues involved with pesticides, bleaches, and dyes.
I can't rave enough about the quality of the fabric. The cotton is incredibly soft and gentle on the skin, and lacks the abrasive roughness of bleached/dyed cotton. It would seem that the clothing is pre-shrunk as well, since subsequent washings have not affected the sizing of the clothes. The sizing seems about right - the clothes are a little more tight on me than I would like (I prefer loose fitting clothes), but the fabric is so light and comfortable that I'm not unhappy with the result.
Note that the fabric is comfortable but fairly thin. These are perfect for pajamas or loungewear about the house, but if you buy them expecting to wear them as outdoor clothes, be aware that underclothing can be seen pretty clearly through the fabric. I hope that Ecoland will soon come out with a line of slightly thicker, outerwear clothing for organic nuts like myself.
