Then you have to use quick fabrics such as jersey, cotton poplin or polyester satin.
These are not refined or sought-after fabrics (like silk crepe or cotton jacquard) because it would cost too much!
Finally, clothing is made in countries where the cost of labor is low and the number of garments made by the hour is the highest. In addition, garments are made in very large quantities to ensure the presence of clothing in every store in the world.
