All this cheap fabric

Whosits — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 00:57:04 GMT

I am so tired of these cheap bad fabrics QVC puts out. Do people not know that polyester fleece is not warm and carries static electricty like crazy. Even if you do not need warmth these fabrics are not cool either. And all the high levels of spandex! It's become impossible to find a garment without it. Cotton stretches, rayon stretches, other fabrics stretch you don't need to load it with that cheap filler. And if it's too reduce sagginess, you still don't need such a high percentage. I'd love to see wools, cotton's, do you even know there is a cotton fleece? cotton modal, cotton flannel, courderoy, tencel, bamboo, rayon. Fabrics that breathe, fabrics that really keep you warm or cool as needed. But their profit margin would not be high then.

@Whosits I'd definitely recommend that you shop somewhere else.

I agree, Issac is almost always has natural fabric (except the spandex jeans...) and I think Logo also has really good fabric a lot of time. But I can't buy much as much as I'd like too because she designs longggggg and I am only 5 foot. There are things here and there, the Irish woolens, etc

It's not just QVC. The designers have to buy the fabric that is available. Not many make their own fabrics. It is disgusting to me too. I do like the pima cotton and have several of Isaacs pants. That quality is hard to find in B&M stores also.

The fabric in the brands I buy at QVC feels much better than what I am finding in the B&M stores, unless you go really expensive and high end. The brands I buy are Susan Graver, Issac Mizrahi and Denim & Co. I go to a B&M department store, touch the material and I'm not buying that rubbery stuff. There is a nationally known brand whose tops are $62 and pants $54 and their material in the tops are is and the pants really feel cheap. I'll stick with my QVC brands. I do also buy a few Joan Rivers and a few Bob Mackie.

I agree and it isn't just QVC. I am so sick of thin, flimsy tops that show every lump, bump, and dimple. I do like Isaac's pima cotton. C. Wonder also has some nice pima cotton tops. I do shop many other places because I am picky about fabric, style, and the cut of the top.

I hate the super thin fabrics, just awful. They need to go permanently.

Rayon is awful. It looks/feels good in the store, but washing in cold water and hanging to dry ---- it keeps shrinking until it no longer fits. Such an awful cheap fabric.

I won't say I'm not shopping on QVC anymore, but I am much more cautious when I see something that I may like.

First the price-Even if I think that I love it I have to stop & consider those prices. I didn't need to do that a year ago. Prices have increased about $10 per item & that makes a big difference to me. A $30 tshirt was a bit more than I liked to spend, but it was worth it to me if it looked nice & I knew it would last.

A $40-50 tshirt! Ummm...I'm gonna have to really, really love it. And, be fairly certain I am going to love it enough to keep it so I don't have to pay $10 to try it on & have to return it.

2nd-If I saw a top I liked I really didn't look at the material much because it was typically cotton, or primarily cotton. I didn't buy SG because I know I don't like the look of her fabric, but now all of the lines are doing modal, polyester, spandex...ewww. Not that they don't have their place, but usually it's not what I am looking for. Maybe for $7 at Kohls, but not for $50.

Qvc & it's vendors are smarter than I am, so they do the business. I just decide if I want to participate.

@CalminHeart Snark? When someone is totally dissatisfied with all the goods a merchant sells, you think they should keep shopping there? I'd love to hear your definition of snark. Nobody said she's not entitled to her opinion.
