Not all textiles are made to be worn -- and plenty of those that are are children's clothes that are outgrown.

FWIW, these are at least shared by some people. More than half of the clothes my baby wears are used, sourced from Facebook groups for local exchange/givaways, and as she outgrows a particular size, we just box those clothes up (except for the few we want to keep for the possible second), and pass them forward to someone else in need.
