Susan Graver $$$$

WOW!! 59.00 before tax & shipping for faux velvet top?!? Realize I'm not hating on SG, Observation. Wonder how Qvc comes up with the price?

Everything I've ever purchased from SG (over the years, at least a hundred items) has lasted forever. So it's well worth the money!

I personally don't want clothing that "lasts forever." I get bored with my clothes way before they wear out even much more reasonably priced items than SG's.

$59.00 is too much and more than I want to spend. But the truth is that everything is more expense and more than I want to pay for it these days. I am an average person with a VERY average income. So I recently decided that if there is something I like, I allow myself to purchase it, but only occassionally. I am buying much, much less than ever before. No more than once a month I'll buy one item - something Graver or from another brand. And often that once a month treat is a QVC "as is" item.

I love her line of clothes and have many, many items. However, once tops went over the $50, I have curtailed my spending.

Failed to make clear, I have no problem investing $$$ in quailty. This morning ordered 4 Wacole bra's 58.00 to 70.00. Obviously, SG has loyal customers, Big money maker for Qvc. I do, Purchase from Qvc realize everything costs more. Choose carefully, Where my money goes. Special thanks, To Qvc Bill to Ship. Would be lost without it. Happy Holidays Qvc and Team Qvc customer service. 💗

@Sweet_SerenityI hope I can still post here after I tell you I've never seen anything at Ross nearly as good as what I've bought from Susan.

Maybe the Ross near me is different, but I've never seen clothing there I'd buy. I have gotten a few minor deals on some kitchen items, but overall that Ross is a dirty mess.

Experience with Ross, Depends greatly on area. Example, Winter in Boco Roton, The Ross located there has better quality then one here Upstate NY. Location Location Location! 😀

I used to buy more clothes here, but prices have gotten outrageous. To risk $9.95 to try it, I just don't on pants or jeams at all. I'll try a basic top if it's either As Is or Last Clicks like others said.

Cannot complaine where located Ross that I like to go sometimes , it's very very close to Beverly Hills, CA.Store has some nice tops, cotton or something else.But this is not for long time, may be season or two. Cannot compare to SG. I am not even talking about her tops, they last for long time and look like new, what I love more it's her French terry jackets. You cannot find this one anywhere. They good for work,look dressy and classy and again have them for long time.

Funny fact,sometimes ago I was watching JTV. Hosting one of top host, sorry don't remember her name and she had on one of SG jacket,I recognized because I have the same one.

Forget the price. Forget the s&h. It is the quality that is going downhill.

Re: Susan Graver $$$$

Dusty1 — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 17:12:40 GMT

I've stayed pretty quiet about the pricing here, but I have had to start paying attention. It used to be that if I saw a top I liked from D&C, I would just click buy & be done. I know the brand fits me & the quality is usually great. I saw a top last week & clicked on my size & the color I wanted to try & then saw that the price was $46. Plus S&H. I had to say no to that. And another top was on clearance. From $42 to $36. Clearance? No. And it was probably never $42 to begin with. Probably an inroductory price of $35! I ordered 2 pairs of D&C knit pants on Lunchtime Special. I have 1 pair that I love, but these 2 were thinner knit & cut close to the body so they were not attractive on me. They were $16 a pair + $3 a pair to ship. To send them back would be $6.95 (No cheaper to mail them myself. I weighed them.) So $12.95 to try them on & return them. I am going to have to explore other options.

Is it just me or are Susan's prices getting higher? I just can't pay $59.99 for a fleece jacket! It seems like everything of hers is higher priced these days. Will stick with Denim & Co.!

Why are most SG tops 59.00? Magic number? Just saying!😉

Perkup — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 17:58:48 GMT

My price range depends on what I am buying, the quality involved and the

number of times I expect to wear the garment. Truth is, the types of clothing

that SG offers is not what I would expect to wear that often. I don't care for

prints in general, and Susan's are usually too garish for me. I do buy her

pants from time to time, but lately our local Belk can beat her in fit and in quality for the price. I have purchased a couple of pieces of LDO, and for me they represent a good buy.

As for Ross, we are in the highest income area of Louisiana (that's not saying very much), and our local Ross store sometimes offers good things at

reasonable prices. Recently I saw a Dennis Basso jacket that was very nice and quite inexpensive. Also some high end dresses and tops that were very well priced. I only go in there a couple of times each year, but the quality is

perhaps better than some of the Ross stores.

SG always says her clothes will last forever and ever.....who wants a 20 year old top or pants? I certainly do not. I would rather have a reasonably priced item( low cost) wear it for a couple of seasons and donate it to goodwill....and buy new fresh items. What fun is it having a closet full of old clothes that last for ever?

Re: Susan Graver $$$$

kaydee50 — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:24:16 GMT

That's exactly what I said in my first post on an earlier page. I don't want clothes that last for years. Decent quality at a decent price which, IMO, SG is not.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. $50.00 is just too much for a top. i do not want to spend that much $$ on a top.

When I retired, I gave all her clothes to a charity. I can't believe I bought liquid knit pants and tops. They did not last very long after you began washing them. I now buy all my clothing at Kohl's or Target. The pricing is great and very reasonable. At Kohl's, every Wednesday in my area you get a 15% discount for seniors. Also, they have many coupons you can use. They are very customer friendly. I saw a coat on D&C yesterday that I really liked but I could not see paying almost $100.00 (including s&h plus tax). Carolyn ordered one. It was one of the only items that even interested me.
