Cotton poly blends

I'm so glad to see they are bringing some poly/cotton blends to D&Co. I much prefer them to the cotton / spandex they traditionally had. I hope they continue to make more and more poly/cotton blend tops.

I like it too. Have a lot of summer dresses and tops in it. Soft, comfortable and comes out of dryer wrinkle free.

I really don't like the amount of spandex they put in tee shirts, blouses and jeans. I think that blend is why we 'hear' so much about back fat etc...because of these clingy tops w/ spandex.

I also think since women's blouses got rid of the back pleat and went to just darts...the blouse has to 'fit' better and be made w/ a more substantial fabric. IMO...the spandex just allowed mfgs to 'cheapen' the quality of the cotton they use to make nice dress shirts.
