Barefoot Dreams worth the price?

mormel20 — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 00:32:43 GMT

I am watching Barefoot Dreams right now. They were selling some pants for over $100. These were "sweat pants" type thing. They looked so soft and nice. But I wonder if the cost is worth it. I have never bought any Barefoot Dreams items. Does anyone know if it is work the price. Thanks.

I have some BD items. I do love them all. Some are 4/5 years old, and holding up very well.

I also have some joggers that were close to $100 in price, but I feel like when I wear something often, because I love it, it's worth the price.

I have 2 of the long cardigans that were their first TSV. Neither has ever been out of the house, I wear them as robes and when I get chilly. A robe or any sweater would have served the same purpose. No, I don't think they're worth the price. I've never bought more.

Yes, they are definitely worth it. I am tall so the cardigans fit me well. I don't like anything short in the body because I feel like they look like I shrank them in the laundry.😄

I own 4 BD cardigans and 3 BD pants. I wear them on cold winter days to lounge in. 💕🌺💐

I have some of their cardigans & do not think they're worth the price. They wrinkle easily when folded. Bought some CCBure appliqued cardigans & they are as soft, thicker, warmer, much cheaper & to me nicer than BFD.

You will probably have to buy & try for yourself to see if they meet your standards as many like them.

IMO-I've purchased a few, but, won't be purchasing again. They may be okay just for lounging. I don't want to pay that much for lounge clothes.

My feeling is they are double the price they should be. I have several cardigans. Yes, they are soft but they wrinkle so bad and they don't come out unless washed. They don't wash that well either. The stitching came loose and my friend who sews had to spot sew them. I followed direction for cold water on gentle btw. I would rather spend my money for Side Stitch, they wear like iron and I have never paid full price.

Only you can determine if they are worth it. I purchased a cardigan and I really disliked it . I should have sent it back. However, that's me. I didn't care for the fabric or fit, but the line is popular so 🤷‍♀️ I do think it is overpriced.

I say, in answer to your question, NO. I have two items from the line you are asking about. Both are sloppy, oversized, polyester fabric that my mom's generation bought in the discount stores.

I have numerous BD pieces in different weights and styles and honestly I have to say some are and some are not. My favorite are two crew neck solid color sweaters in regular cozy chic that I wear all winter in and out of the house. Love them. I would buy another in a solid color. Cardigans with no closures are not worth it in regular, have to hold together to keep warm and one has grown to below my knees and has never been hung.

Pullover CC ultra lite Yes. Hoodie NO, no closure. I have enough and other than the pull overs I won'nt purchase any more. They wash and dry great bu I no longer will but regular CC cardigans as IMO look sloppy. Don't wear them out of the house.

That's a decision we can only make for ourselves. I don't even know what you mean by "worth it".

My first and last purchase was the most recent TSV top and although it's soft and cozy, it's not worth the price to me even when it was at a lower price as the TSV. I washed it, tried it on and it fits well but it's in the sweater drawer and I haven't even worn it out anywhere yet.

NO. RIDICULOUS prices for the fabrics - nylon and rayon - NOT high end fabrics. I bought a long open sweater several years ago - new with tags - for $20 at a Goodwill Boutique store.

I own many barefoot dreams pieces, cardigans, tops, pants and scarfs in cozy chic, lite,and ultra lite. They feel great on the skin. The heavier cozy chic pieces are especially warm in cold months. I wear them often enough to say I got my money's worth. I only buy pieces when they are on sale. Only you can decide if they are worth the price, but I do feel they are overpriced for sure.

If you like quality luxury items, then yes, I feel they are worth it.

If you're willing to wait until they show up at Sam's Club.

Good one!

I think yes they are worth it. I have three ponchos and they are really nice to wear.

I live in a four season area, and we often travel to colder places.

I find wool scratchy, and I love cashmere (I wear a liner under it), but sometimes it can be very warm. BD uses a very soft, gentle, cozy fabric, it breathes, and it keeps me comfortable.

BD comes in a great variety of thickness, and through trial and error, I have decided that I really like the thickest, warmest fabric instead of the ultralite.

Because I try to buy the heaviest knits, I do not think the prices are unreasonable, BUT I have always purchased my QVC BD items on sale. I do think overall the prices are a bit high, however, it seems to be a popular and trendy brand.

I find most of the colors a bit subdued, and they rarely carry patterns, which I see as negatives. I have no real regrets about any of my BD purchases, but I only buy occasionally. The fabrics are great for lounging and traveling.
