About
We read the label so you do not have to.
Fast fashion hides behind polyester and clever names. The Soft Edit reads the fabric label on women's clothing, grades each piece on what it is actually made of, and lists only the natural fibers worth keeping. The grade is computed by our tool from the composition, not chosen by an editor and never moved by a commission.
It is free. No paywall, no login, no catch. A service this thorough usually costs money, and we think the people who care most about buying better should not have to pay to find it.
How it works
- 1
We read the fabric label
For every piece, we pull the exact fiber content from the retailer and normalize it to clean percentages, body, lining, and trim kept separate.
- 2
We grade what it is made of
A fixed rubric grades the main fabric A to F. Natural fiber earns the top marks; petroleum synthetics and processed cellulose like viscose and modal do not.
- 3
We list only what is worth keeping
Only A, B, and C make the list. Everything we reject is published too, with the exact reason, so the verdict is transparent.
The grades
- A
All natural. One hundred percent natural fiber, no synthetics, elastane, or processed cellulose.
- B
Natural, a little stretch. At least ninety five percent natural fiber with up to five percent elastane.
- C
Natural, with stretch. A natural fabric with up to fifteen percent elastane.
- D, F
Left off the list. Any petroleum synthetic, regenerated cellulose like viscose or modal, or too little natural fiber to count.
What you can trust
The grade is never negotiated
It is computed from the fabric composition by our tool. No brand, price, or commission moves it.
We show our work
Every piece carries the exact composition and the reasons behind its grade. The rejects are published with their reasons too.
No fabricated details
Compositions, prices, and grades come from the actual label and our data, never from memory or marketing copy.
Reader first
We may earn a commission if you buy through a link in the future, clearly disclosed. It will never change a grade or what makes the list.
