Barefoot Dreams

Catastrophe — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 12:07:47 GMT

Just saw this morning a nylon blouse of Barefoot Dreams for $115.98. What country are they living in? With the price of Food, Gas, Medication that is unbelievable.

I agree! I could afford to spend that much for a blouse, but why??? If it were silk, it might be worth it. But for rayon and nylon--LOL!!

For those who love this brand and buy, enjoy!

As long as I can remember going shopping, there have ALWAYS been exclusive and higher-priced establishments selling clothing...

I'll never understand why people keep complaining about prices. They are what they are. There are plenty of people who can afford these prices. if you think the price is too high just shake your head and move on.

@kaydee50 I agree! I bought two brand new pieces of their Malibu Collection from Mercari for less than $50 for both pants and top. The fabric is NOTHING SPECIAL! I don't know how they can justify the prices.

True. I live close to so much retail selling to those whose budgets and values let them spend for what they want. Although the governor opened the whole state up early during the pandemic, the majority of the retail that survived has been what the wealthiest want and buy.

There's lots of empty retail space available, but the majority of what has been rented in those spaces has been to medical services.

We're lucky. We have fast fashion. We can get very cheap clothes just about any store. We have big closets now filled to the bursting point with clothes! I've seen people in third world countries dressed like us. Tee shirts, shorts, pants, tops, etc. Zara store has copies of costly gowns that you can get for a fraction of the cost made in stretchy polyester.

As for myself....I happen to love Barefoot Dreams. They don't shed. They are incredibly soft and wonderful to wear. My decision to buy from them. I could get almost the same thing in Denim & Co. for cheaper. But I don't buy from them.

LOVE the BD brand and purchase it from QVC, boutiques in town, their website, nordstrom, and other online retailers. the materials, quality, wearability, durability, and styles are perfect for me. not for everyone, but what brand is? to each his own..... #iykyk

@sunshine45 I love BFD and wear them all year round. I have heavier for the winter and lighter for the warmer months. They wear like iron. I have some that are over 5 years old and they still look brand new. That is why we have variety of brands to shop. BFD may not be for everyone but what brand is?

@cheriere For you to get that deal has to mean someone else paid the price you chose to bypass.

Wonder why they never wore those clothes, but didn't return them?

I never wonder how any company justifies its prices - even companies noted for their great deals tell us the value once was much, much higher, yet the inside retail world has statistics which show they sold as many as none at that higher price. Analysts say they never planned to sell much at the top price.

Some people feel they can afford to own all kinds of things even if they use them rarely. Whether it's clothes or jewelry or even cars or houses, they have choices most of us just know either our values or our money warn us away.

I don't know that they even paid full price for them. The reason I say this is because the seller is from Pennsylvania and has a ton of new Barefoot Dreams clothing like this. I thought perhaps they were getting them from an outlet or something. I've bought other items from her before too.

I happen to like Barefoot Dreams quite a bit. I'll wear Cozy Chic Lite and Cozy Chic Ultra Lite, but not the original Cozy Chic. I have been able to purchase several pieces (probably more than necessary) when they've been TSV's or discounted. I've never paid full price.

I don't care for the brand at all. I have 3 or 4 cardigans I got talked into when they first started selling on QVC. I wore one in the car and when we got to our destination 3 hrs later was a wrinkled mess. Still haven't got the wrinkles out and never worn any of them again. The prices are ridiculous for the cheap fabric you get.

LOL!!! I wouldn't pay that price for any shirt. I basically wear t-shrts all the time. As long as I can find cotton I'm happy.

I can afford to pay those prices but I refuse to do so.

I choose to let my money grow instead.

Re: Barefoot Dreams

JeanLouiseFinch — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 17:35:07 GMT

I just checked on two items I've had in my saved list and the prices have increased. 😠

I'll keep them there and see what happens, but it's disappointing.

QVC just had a men’s polo shirt for $117!!!! Insane.

Who said she can’t afford it? She simply said the line is priced too high. Read the post before you comment.

What is so fascinating about this line of clothing? Everything looks the same. The only choiced are the colors.

The prices are ridiculous, and the maerial looks too warm for spring and summer. It reminds me of a uniform. The material as stated in the description is NYLON. Nylon is very common and has veen used for many years. Why would anyone want to buy more than one?

Qvc has done a great job convincing everyone this is a luxury brand.
