Denim & Co

dmeasy — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:51:05 GMT

I just turned it on. Things are so different today. I used to buy many casual clothes from this line, and I am still wearing many of them. Well the patterns I am seeing this A.M. are UGLY! The shapes of the garments are nil. This word "comfy" in my opinion is another word for big and sloppy. I won't pay the money they are charging for these unattractive oversized clothes. Denim Co is not the same as it used to be, and that is sad.

Ditto.

My last 2 clothing items from Q were 2 sweaters, one by Kim G, the other by IM. Love them. Most Q clothes dowdy and $$$$.

Just bought several items from JCrew on sale.

30 year good customer and Q has pretty much lost me.Better choices and prices elsewhere.

Gary said the "Naturals Collection" has blown up in popularity. I can't believe huge numbers of women want to hit the ironing board again with linen and Rayon. I'm just not interested.

Knowing the D&C demographic includes many older women who don't want to expose upper arms, why do they have one sleeveless garment after another?

@Kachina624 I've been noticing a lot of pretty sleeveless dresses. I won't buy though, I like a short sleeve at least.

@Kachina624 I was wondering why the models were wearing wrinkled clothing. The top appear to wrinkle as they are being pulled over your head. The sleeves were the worse.

What is up w/D&C w/the flowery designs? I do not want to walk around looking like a garden that will attract bees trying to pollinate me.

Re dresses - I've seen some very nice one on Kohl's website for very reasonable prices.

D&C is way overpriced on everything and even when there's a "sale" it's maybe a 10% reduction--big deal!

I have been wearing the naturals collection for a few years. You do not have to iron them. It is a linen blend NOT pure linen of years ago. So dont be afraid of this line they are very soft and comfortable.

I've noticed all the flowery prints too. To me they look very matronly...actually that's not the right word. Most of the ones I've been seeing are downright ugly.

@Mz iMac. I don't know who is designing D&C fabrics, but they're awful. I bought so many pretty prints in the past. I don't like florals unless they're very abstract.

So they can sell you a shrug, shirt or jacket ......

Styles and tastes just get stale and dated. Consumers just get bored. Even RL will reinvent the classics with fit and fabrics. JJill refreshes their stores every 3-4 weeks or so.

Denim and Co is just not fresh and so no compelling reason to purchase. The items are stale and dated. I hardly ever check the programs that I have missed.

Even IM hangs onto the 24/7 pants and pima-pima-pima.

If you read the shopping comments, it seems that many loyal Q shoppers are exploring other retailers --with success.

Lol, that's the truth about selling a shrug! I've never seen so many shrugs in my life as this past year. What really gets me through is often times the shrug costs more than the garment you're trying to cover!

I was looking through an older closet the other day and actually found a shrug. However, I didn't buy it from qvc. It came with a dress I'd bought. It's nice too...coral cashmere that closes with a hidden single eye hook.

Can you EVER imagine a shrug being included with ANY

item lol😃?

After retiring, my closet consists mostly of tees and jeans. When moving my heavier winter things out this weekend and looking at my summer things, I realized my closet is boring and dull. I'll not be buying the same style tees I now have at their current $50-60 prices. I can go to Macy's or Belk's and get the same fabric, same plain tees, for $10. I've not seen anything presented that catches my eye from D&Co but keep looking.

I agree with most of the posters who say that the designs & prints are not all that awesome IMO and the prices (yes I know prices are up everywhere) don't appeal to me either.

I have collected quite a few t-shirts and other casual items, along with dressier sweaters/dresses etc that I can just pull out and wear w/o buying more.

I only go into the office a couple of days a week so those are the only days I put on something that's dressy. Otherwise, I wear a nice top/sweater whatever so if I have to get on a teams or zoom call, I am presentable for work. I can wear jeans or shorts and no one knows it.

I suppose I'm in the minority on this post...I like florals if they aren't too exploded. And I like color!

I just bought A647417 in Beetroot and the matching pant A656751.

I have a lot of the French Terry pants and tops to match since they are very comfortable. While I don't wear the pants outside the house (a pet peeve of mine is sweats/pj's in public), I wear them 6 days a week at home.

Denim & Co. has been a favorite brand of mine for over 20 years and I don't plan to stop buying as long as I can afford to.

To each their own, right?

@timeless Re A647417 Love dolman sleeves but it just proves my comment in another post that when QVC has a "sale" it's a price reduction of 9%???!!!

Enjoy your new items!

Re: Denim & Co

timeless — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 20:36:45 GMT

@kaydee50

I agree 9% is a token sale. But it is a new item, so I suppose it's an introductory offering?

I once heard anything less than 25% off isn't really a true sale price.

Thanks, I will enjoy them!
