This book was recommended to me because I have severe eczema that comes and goes, and sometimes, certain clothes trigger my eczema and make it itch worse. The urge to scratch is irresistible. When my mom told some people about this, a very kind woman she knows recommended this book to see how it could help me make better fashion choices that would ease up my eczema slightly.

This book deserves five stars. It opened my eyes to the injustices faced by those who make our clothes and those who wear the clothes. I never realized how dangerous the fashion industry is and how it ruins the lives of many fashion consumers, mainly women, and hurts them in all aspects of life. Toxic fashion causes diseases and health conditions in all parts of the body. It hurts women more than anyone else. Alden Wicker impressively writes a very entertaining and factual non-fiction story using anecdotes, statistics, laws, measurements, and details of her travels and investigations. The author is an incredible writer. This book raises awareness effectively by telling us the truth about fast fashion. I found it hard to read about the conditions of the factory workers who dye clothes and the stories of women almost dying because of the toxic chemicals in their uniforms, which are linked to incurable, chronic diseases.

Please take this book as a wake-up call to be more careful about your fashion choices and how they affect your health and lifestyle in general. As a person with eczema, I'm going to be much more cautious about skincare products as well, because as the author explains, some things that are designed to "help" can just be more harmful.
