This dress sucks!!! Swipe to see the disdain on my face…. The history of cheap, low-quality textiles dates back centuries, but it gained prominence during the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. With the advent of mechanized production, textiles could be mass-produced at lower costs, leading to an abundance of cheap fabrics. This phenomenon was further fueled by globalization, which enabled the outsourcing of textile production to countries with lower labor costs. The rise of fast fashion in the late 20th and early 21st centuries exacerbated the issue, with brands prioritizing quick turnover and low prices over quality and durability, contributing to the proliferation of low-quality textiles in the market.
