LIQUID KNITS

I HAVEN'T ORDERED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ANY OF SUSAN GRAVERS LIQUID KNIT TOPS. HOWEVER I DID MOST RECENTLY PURCHASE A TOP IN THIS FABRIC AND WHEN I RECEIVED IT THE FABRIC WAS NOT THE SAME LIGHT AIREY FEELING AS MY OLDER TOPS. THE FABRIC FELT A BIT THICKER AND WAS VERY SCRATCHY. HAS SHE CHANGED THE FABRIC ON HER TOPS? THE TOP STATED IT WAS POLY95%/SPANDEX 5%.

I bought several liquid knit tops earlier this summer and find no change in the wonderful fabric. They never wrinkle. They wash like a dream. They never lose their color. I'm a real fan of SG's liquid knit!!!!

Unless the product is AS IS or on clearance I don't buy. Price high and I can get the same quality and look elsewhere.

I've tried a couple of the liquid knit items - I found the fabric to be too flimsy and limp. I don't like fabrics that wiggle when worn.

The liquid knit crop pants were too thin to wear outside - but make really nice pajama bottoms. They'll last forever!

I have heard her say at times "summer" weight or "winter" weight liquid knit referring to certain clothing items in her line. I know the butterknit is a bit more beefy too. Not sure about the TSV though it is really cute but I am not in need of any more LK tops.

The gals in the Fashion forum would likely know for sure. They're on top of all things fashion over there!

I only own one top in SG's liquid knit...A397427...I have the black/blue. I love the top, but not a huge fan of the fabric.

I have about six liquid knit SG tops from over the years . They are easy to wash and hang up to dry, never wrinkle ( they will snag so I don't put in dryer) but are also incredibly hot when it is hot and humid outside. I can't believe she still claims this fabric is cool and wonderful in the heat. It wears well in the fall and winter here in Texas, but as soon as it warms up, these tops go to the back of my closet.
