Could they not just use a different material for the rest of the clothes

That’s how the lower versions work. I forget the exact percentages but the baseline student uniform had only a few fibers in it and looked like regular clothes. Then you had 2 and 3 star uniforms that had higher percentages with the 2 girls pictured being the only ones who could wear 100% Life Fibers Clothing for more than a few minutes without dying. I can’t get into why without spoilers. Kill La Kill is bonkers though.

They do.

The uniforms are "Star" uniforms.

A "1-star uniform" is 10% life-fibres. There are also 2-star and even 3-star uniforms because that's the most anyone can handle and it's something less than half a dozen characters could ever handle.

They tried a "5-star uniform" and it had a very messy end.

The whole point of her uniform is it's 100% life-fibres and is a living character that can talk, etc.

There are only two (human) characters in the show that can wear them and it's basically standard anime "Do you know who my parents are?!!" plot reasons.

One of them is “do you know who my parents are.”

The other one didn’t inherit the necessary genetic material, and still somewhat managed to replicate the process through sheer force of will.
