Organic Cotton Top

I just bought a few organic cotton items and they're all very rough and scratchy to the touch. I got some bedsheets & napkins. The handkerchief is flannel and very soft and so is the tank top. But all woven cotton ended up really UGH! The napkin is rough on my raw lips it hurts. (My lips are chapped and peel so...)

What do I need to do without chemicals to make the cotton soft? (I can't use regular detergent, I have severe chemical sensitivities, it's awful!) --NO FABRIC SOFTENER, PLEASE-- Sorry for caps, that stuff makes me vomit, I kid you not, I can't be near that I might as well live with rought & scratchy.

What is enzyme wash? Do I just open a digestive enzymes capsule and add it to some water and launder like that? Will the enzymes "eat up" or digest the rough stuff?

Or will the cotton naturally soften after several washes? I use Dr. Bronner's soap to do my laundry due that I can't use even 7th Generation detergent is loaded with toxic chemicals, UGH!

Thanks for any suggestions! :0)

try using vinegar in the rinse water. and it will soften the more it's washed.

www.zappos.com Product Description: Lolë Size Chart Shed those layers and welcome that summer sun with the Lolë Hug Top. Planet-pleasing, stretch ...

Are there any specifics, like organic cotton so it breathes or do you have to have lycra style? Are there different colours you should wear / shouldn't wear? Help!

I've googled for hours at a time and getting nowhere. I'm looking for either woven fabric by the yard in a pastel green aka mint green (aka "baby blanket" green) or any women's clothing already made in color mint green. (preferably tops but anything really at this point).

I'd also consider the shade known as dusty green aka seafoam green.
NO blue, please. (A lot of daltonians out there invariably wear brown and blue these past few decades on St Patrick's Day and try to pass it as green!) ;o)

Any help greatly appreciated. I've tried all the google links I could find. I know it's gotta be out there somewhere. Heck I might even consider knit by the yard, even though I'm looking for organic cotton which is woven and not jersey/knit. Thanks!
Just wanted to add: I'm VERY chemically sensitive, just in case anyone was about to suggest dyes or chemicals on the fabric. that's why it's ORGANIC cotton. Thank you :o)

And also reasonably priced? Like for trousers/jeans for under £30, tops for under £15 etc in UK?

I'm fed up of my New Look and Dorothy Perkins stuff fading and I need some new clothes badly.

Also, reasonably priced organic cotton/Fairtrade clothes on the high St in Romford, Essex would too be very helpful.

try this site lots of uk shops you might not of heard of http://www.must-haves.co.uk I love it.

Chapter 1
Longing for you, I found my self under the moonless night sky. The walk to the lagoon didn’t take long. My mud stained New Balance’s covered the once familiar terrain easily. Feet sinking into the mud, and slipping on the moss the trees that rose to the night sky disappeared and opened into a sandy clearing. Squinting, I could make out the lagoon.
I took my shirt off; the perspiration had already dampened it. One by one my garments hit the sand until there was nothing left. Just skin. I waded in. One foot in front of the other I made my way out. The water was so calm against my racing heart. You should be here I thought, I paused and then continued on. When the water reached my neck, I floated onto my back and stared at the sky. There was no moon tonight. Just stars, each one held a promise, promises I intended to fill.

Chapter 2
Walking up the wooden steps, I was heaving my back pack bulging at every opening was slipping off my shoulders. One hand on the strap the other the railing, the last few steps were less of a chore. My door in sight, my pace quickened and upon turning over the floor mat was relieved to see my key still in place. My door swung open slowly revealing my dark loft. I turned on a light revealing my high ceilings. I dropped my back, now unzipping at the seams on the brown leather couch on my couch at the other end of the room and made my way over to the kitchen counter.
The flight wasn’t long yet I was still glad to be home. Tomorrow would be busy and I needed all of tonight to prepare. Green tea in hand I made my way to the bed room. Trading my worn blue jeans and red v neck for low cut black sweat pants and my favorites top-an organic cotton, faded yellow, with “love one, love all” across the front I made my way back to the couch.
I sat Indian style and the wooden floor began to chill my feet as relieved the bulging backpack of its belongings.

Thanks!
