HOW ARE YOU PLANNING ON MAKING 2015 A SPECIAL YEAR? PLUS, WHAT IS DUO-STRETCH?

Hello Denim Divas,


It’s January! As I sit here working on this new blog post...it is very cold outside! Winter is here, and it looks like the cold weather is hitting many parts of our country. This is a good time to nest at home, read a good book or make some of those New Year’s resolutions (I make them and then break them!!!)…like getting active again! 2015 is going to be a great year!!!


Denim & Co. offers you a lot of choices when it comes to being comfortable, casual and even active…clothes that are real!


Many of you may know that I have been at QVC for about 8 years. I started as the designer for the Sport Savvy brand, which is no longer here at QVC. However, we had so many customer requests to bring that look back that we created Denim & Co. Active, which includes many of the same fabrics that you love form Sport Savvy.


Duo-Stretch was one of those great fabrics that we wanted to bring back because it was a customer favorite.


Duo-Stretch is a cotton rich fabric with 10% spandex that has a 2-way stretch for control and comfort. A sporty fabric with a more polished hand that can give a customer some control and a smoother shape without being binding. This is not a shaper, but it’s but a great casual fabric that will give you all the comfort and movement you want while still looking polished. As usual, this fabric is machine wash and dry…easy care.


There are so many different ways to wear the styles that are available, so we put together a few for you. Please check them out and let me know what you think…



Look #1: Running Errands on Weekends


We are all busy, right? It’s Saturday, and you have a lot to do. Put on your Denim & Co. Duo-Stretch pants, a great top and scarf and some comfy shoes. You will be done with those errands in no time!
