Hey There
THANK YOU so much for your reply,I will check them out for sure.
I happened to also click on one of your links on this blog and over time of clicking through I happened to come across a site called ”One Stop Plus” it has a bunch of different clothes and some of them are cotton…(so excited!!!!)

I also am looking forward to checking out the sites you recommended as I need clothes…

Just when I FINALLY had my wardrobe to the point I thought ”Now I have a good sellection” that is when I discovered my severe allergy 3/4 of my wardrobe had to go…(oh,well an educational journey this has been that is for sure,I guess I just have to look at it in a GREAT light now i get to wear clothes that are better for us humans to wear anyway…(as petrolimum products and clothing are not the wisest choices anyway once you start reading what we wear it actually ASTOUNED me..)

No wonder my body was reacting…(it just was WISE)and said I do not want you to wear that stuff…(wink wink…trying to do my best to make my situation the best posible situation considering that it has DEFINATELY been a CHALLENGE and at the same time very educational…)

Hi Laura,
That is unfortunate since polyester blending is so rampant. Near the end many of Cotton Ginny’s products were not 100% cotton. Here are a few places to check out:

http://www.dianekennedy.ca/ is a Canadian designer that deals with eco-friendly fabrics.
http://www.generousfashions.com/fabrics_designs.html is a U.S. company but they deliver here.

Let us know how you make out.

Good luck!

Hey There
I was wondering if you or any of the other ladies happen to know
of another store in Canada that is like Cotton Ginny with cotton clothing or linen or silk??

The reason I ask is because I just discovered I am 100% severly allergic to
poly and all poly products including Polester…

WOW
I have found it VERY CHALLENGING to say the least to find clothing that is only cotton,linen or silk with no added polyester,having challenges with everything from coats to shirts,pants ect ect..

Any and all assistance or options for cotton or linen or silk clothing in Canada specifically Ontario would be appreciated, I am trying to think of where to even start and I come online to start off with Cotton Ginny any ideas ladies offline or online???

Would sure be GRATEFUL for any tips or store locations…
Thanks Laura

P.S.Maybe we should pool ALL our money together and open a store…(wink wink)

I used to work at Cotton Ginny. I eventually changed jobs and ended up at Winners… when Cotton Ginny started closing all of their stores here in Ottawa, Winners did in fact get all of their stock.

what a shame that they closed. their clothes were superior, in style as well the
plus sizes. I have been dropping weight so may not meed plus sizes, but still
want their stores open — online would be okay….Moe pls keep us in touch – thx

That is weird Clare. I would be hesitant to order from the site at this point.

I hear ya! Although for me it was the addition of spandex that bothered me but the addition of polyester especially in the pants. I hate polyester but I guess it was a of cutting costs for them. I only shopped at CG a few times a year, spring and fall, and I am definitely missing the quality of cotton clothing.

I was a loyal shopper for years, then the company was sold and the products became sleazy; spandex in nearly everything. I bought a sweater, not knowing of the company changes. The sweater pulled, the sleeves rode up, buttons pulled out, then the stitching came loose at the neckline! NOT the products I was used to! So after a few store visits to try to find something I liked, I gave up and quit shopping there. I still wear my CG overalls and other old things; the original quality was fantastic! Don’t know who the new owners were, but they should be ashamed for ruining a great company and wasting their money!
