Intersection of environmentalism and veganism incoming

Someone asked about this in a chat I'm in and it led to a lot of digging with almost no success beyond spending 300 dollars to buy custom clothes all the time. We're looking for stuff that is a) vegan and b) has no plastic byproducts that we can recommend to people of many sizes and c) will not bankrupt you. Like 6ft tall+ women with gigantic feet 12+ womens sized shoes.

Shoes, hats, et al. of feminine styling. Basic shit. Flats. Heels. Thrifting isn't usually an option for people of certain sizing, too.

edit:

Things I've found, again, the point of this is basic essentials shit that is vegan, no plastic, and will fit tall women. Gimmicky things that aren't basic aren't included.

Custom Clothes (expensive):

https://loyalfootwear.com/ - 350 USD for a flat. Ridiculous price, but it is fully custom and has non plastic options. There seems to be no way to ask her simple questions about the products she sells to verify their contents.

https://heartsandfound.com/ - Custom dresses and skirts. Uses various fabrics like linen or cotton of your choosing, unclear if shipping doesn't use plastic. Seems most dresses are in the 120-140 dollar range, which is reasonable for a fancier dress. Has a lot of older 50s styles for dresses. Storefront sells from Vietnam, fabric quality seems very very good, seems to source materials from a cooperative and shuts down during Vietnamese holidays, has a guide for dodging US import fees? Nice.

https://www.eshakti.com/ - Lots of options for clothes, uses various fabrics, can shop by fabric type and luckily does show in detail fabric info, has custom sizing and is not much more expensive than a normal shop. Some of the clothing does look cheap and may use low quality plastic fibers in conjunction with the cotton. Ships from India.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeoLines - Transgender gaffs, can be made cotton but doesn't appear to be fully cotton, but seems to be the best option for non plastic fabrics.

Not custom clothes:

americantall.com - Cheap, but many of the materials contain plastics, look shit, and aren't vegan. Some options are low in plastics or are fully cotton, but there aren't many. Has male options too. The cotton leggings seem to be the lowest plastic content leggings that I can find. Most products that are low in plastics are about 5% elastic and the rest cotton.

longtallsally.com - Lots of cheap garbage but there are some things that aren't plastic. Ships from UK, Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, Romania, Macedonia Bulgaria, China and Vietnam.

Not explicitly tall options:

https://rawganique.com/ - Lots of 100% cotton products, however womens clothing does not seem to be appropriately sized for tall people. Good for things like 100% cotton socks which are hard to find. Has some zero plastic shoes but mostly for smaller feet.


Shoes are currently a gigantic sore spot, need to find a place that has vegan shoes for many BASIC styles of US size 13+ that dont cost a billion dollars.

    Aha! Found a place!

    Womens clothing seems to be still too short so not good for tall people, but for plain androgynous 100% cotton socks this should work. Some of these things also have organic elastic (which uses natural rubber, not petro rubber). I'm quite sure the dyes they're using aren't petro dyes but to be 100% certain just go with the natural color. There are lots of amazon stores that advertise theyre 100% cotton but they are blatantly lying you can tell the sock tops contain elastic.
