Are Organic Clothes Worth The Extra Money?

Although cotton is soft, cheap, and practical, it's also grown by using pesticides (more than any other crop, actually). Regular cotton production also requires more water than does organic cotton. One mom discovered this when she attended a preview for an organic clothing brand (Crummy Mummy).
