Am I just Cheap? Or Susan graver prices unreal.i know years ago her clothes were reasonable price, but 60 dollars for a French terry to in my opinion to much money .I realize different strokes for people and I also know she sells a lot of clothes on q. I find demin and company prices are high for what they are .I do like somethings on D&C but sometimes the price stops me. I love coupons and get many from jcp and a few days ago with my coupons and my reward I got a bomber jackets for 17 dollars .the 3 French terry tops with lace up sure and one with a lace up neck another with lace up sleves got all 3 for 20 dollars with my coupons . Now I do buy quite a bit from the Q I like I .M. but wate for his sales .I absolutely love LISA RIMA BANDED bottom pants they look good and wash well so I don't mind the price .I would love to see her again she has a teffric personality and makes me smile .

I was just thinking the same thing.... I'm not cheap, but some of her prices are getting up there.... I do like her cold shoulder top, but by the time you put shipping and tax, you are over $60.00... I still have some of George Simonton's "cold shoulder". that he origianlly brought to the Q and love them... and I didn't pay that much for them. I think her prices and others have really gone up these past couple of years. I don't buy as much any more. Also, now that you don't get your shipping back, glad they are finally not charging you if you need a different size...

I agree, her prices can be a bit high. I have lots of her clothing and I have to say it all still looks good after numerous washing and the fit is good too. I don't buy much anymore but I would still spend the money if I really like an item but only is it's made in the USA!

She just had on a pair of jeans for around 60 not counting tax and shp.

way to tight on her and made her butt look ample. I'm sticking with Dillards

Alison Daley for 30 something.

Her prices are equal to prices at retail however, retail marks down and discounts their items on a regular basis.

My local stores have a sale on something almost every week.

Once QVC gets to clearance, the sizes and colors are so broken, I rarely find anything.

I never pay retail. Everything I buy locally is either department store on sale or TJ Maxx, and other discount stores.

As I got ready for work this morning I had QVC2 on and it was a repeat of an SG show.

I was shocked at the price of the item on air which was a liquid knit top with a $60.00 price tag. Then I heard the host say it was from Susan's Artisan line and the rep explained that with that particular line, you will always see some type of embellishment.

In the past, Susan used to do embellished liquid knit under her regular line. I owned a top several years ago. It seems they added the word Artisan to some of the items as a reason to increase prices.

SG's french terry fabric is very nice. Worth the money. Looks great even after many times through wear / washing / drying.

I haven't ordered anything from her line in years...but from what others say, the quality is good and her items last. If people like it and can afford it...great for them! I'm retired now and wear mostly casual clothing....I find great deals locally and other stores' websites, and see no reason to spend that much on tops/shirts when I can get them for a third of the price and they suit me fine.

I agree with you...Susan Graver's prices are out of sight...along with LOGO! I do have to say I at least would wear some of Susan Graver's dresses. She had the cutest polka dot dress this summer, but I refuse to pay that much for clothes!!!

I shop...at the competitor, wait until it hits clearance, they have a $99 & over FREE shipping day & order a few pieces at a time. I am able to have a LARGE quantity of really cute dresses for not a lot of money! <3

@blueskys, no your not cheap. I feel prices across the board have gotten high. Like you said different strokes. I am trying to get myself to shop more at BM . For my budget, I can actually get better prices at BM, and no loss of s/h. I know I'll still shop the Q, but, I am trying to cut back. Wish me luck.

You're not cheap...SG prices have been increasing so much that many of her customers can no longer afford to shop her line. I stopped buying her line for that same reason.

Prices across the board in all Q fashion brands have increased. I remember when it was rare to see a top over $40, but now many are over that price. It seems most fashion items are over $50 now. I wouldn't mind paying that for an item, but I can find similar things on sale for less in brick and mortar stores so that is where I do most of my shopping.

Apparently somebody's buying her up. Alot of her tops are sold out. There's plenty of people out there buying her clothing. Yes, she's expensive, but her quality is excellent and so are her designs. i don't mind paying her prices because of the quality and the longevity of her clothes. I usually order before they're even shown in order to get my colors I want and size because they sell out quickly i noticed. There's bunches of women ordering her clothes. Look like a bunch of people can afford the prices to me.

I purchased quite a few of her basic tops recently: turtle necks in black and cream, scoop neck long sleeve tops, a french terry hooded sweatshirt (VERY nice). The material is thick and the items are well made. With buy more save more, some of the tops were $34 which I think is reasonable for something I plan on wearing for years (10 is my norm for "basic" items). We'll see.
