Does anyone else want 100 percent cotton clothes and pajamas? Not this poly rayon span modal and god knows what else junk?
Ok rant over.

@LLLSSS

In the nearly 40 years of watching QVC the fashion products offered weren't typically and in the majority 100% cotton.

Sheets yes, clothes no.

Plenty of all cotton choices elsewhere, Talbots, Costco and other online choices.

A cotton/poly blend is comfortable for me.

Not sure if I'm in the minority but I love a cotton/poly blend like @PinkyPetunia . The soft kind. It's my favorite. I do love Modal also. I steer away from 100% cotton since I find it either wrinkles or is more stiff.

My husband now only buys the cotton/poly blend as well.

Yes, and I buy these products at LLBEAN, JCrew, Old Navy and Macys.

Just bought a great pair of jeans at Old Navy. June selection of styles, sizes and colors.

$32.

Yes, I have become a snob in this way. Not only do I want cotton, I want Supima Cotton. I purchase nice shirts from LLBean. I also purchase some from Lands End. I do not want the other fabrics.

The little more that I pay at these places is worth it because the clothes wear so well.

@LLLSSS. If they offered clothing in 100% cotton, I wouldn't buy them. You're immediately relegated to the ironing board with cotton.

I like the old 60/40 cotton poly fabric content. You get the best characteristics of both fibers and easy care.

I wear mostly 100% cotton and all my bedding is 100% cotton or linen.

I have no problems finding what I need.

I will not buy any poly or poly cotton blends.

I don't buy QVC fashions.

I purchased a 100% cotton sheet set from the Q and regret it. It comes out of the dryer very winkled. My other cotton blend sheets look great. I would never iron sheets either.

I sleep in 100% cotton pajama pants with a cotton tank.

My work clothing is a blend and always looks new. I don't iron so I don't wear 100% cotton for nicer clothing. I don't own an ironing board either.

@San Antonio Gal The more you use and wash cotton sheets, the less wrinkled they will become.

I take mine out if the dryer ASAP and fold, or put right back in the bed and smooth them out while they are still warm.

I use linen sheets too..now those can get wrinkled.

I hang my 100% cotton shirts on a hanger to dry...if the water is cold, I warm the shirts up in the dryer first for about two minutes, then hang. No wrinkles.

Thanks for the tip @Carmie .

I'm not fussy about fabrics, but I do prefer poly blends for layering pieces.

My nightwear is all 100% cotton. Check other sites, it is out there. Including petite.

I do like a cotton/polyester blend for many other types of clothing. Easy to dry and does not wrinkle.

I prefer 100% cotton clothing. I get the pima cotton and never have to iron. I hang it up as soon as it comes out of the dryer and it's usually fine. Higher grades of cotton don't wrinkle as much as lesser grades. I won't buy cotton unless it's pima, supima, etc.

I don’t iron cotton. Immediately when pulled from the dryer I hang them up. Even cheap cotton shirts have come a long way, no shrink issues or colors running especially red.

I too prefer 100% cotton. And I press almost all my clothing. I like a crisp look. I also like a linen/rayon blend. Anything linen is not crisp but the soft wrinkle is a carefree easygoing look for summer.

I have a lot of clothing, way too much really. So my ironing is done in one swoop.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack for cotton pjs at Q. I'm wearing my Stan Hermann 100% cotton caftans until they are shreds. LOL

Costco carried 100% cotton slub long sleeve shirts in a two-pack early Fall online for around $20 delivered. They were sold out except for small size in a blink of an eye.

Always sleep on cotton flannel or Egyptian cotton sheets. Cotton coverlet too. And, I don't use or own an iron.

Glad folks enjoy the polyester so much. But, it's not for me and my skin lets me know. No matter how much everyone tells me it has improved. No Thanks!

I'm ok with a cotton poly or cotton rayon blend.
