Do any plus size women hate the spandex in D&Co's fabrics as much as I do??

[IamMrsG]

I dislike spandex in all clothing!  I think it's the biggest cheat made in women's clothing in a very long time.  It's cheaper manufacturing to "water down" fabric content with its inclusion.  Then, to disguise all the pulled fabric across rear ends and crotches, they came up with tunic tops.   Unless you're young and thin, it's an unflattering look.

I don't like spandex in anything.

the tops have a rubbery feeling to me and I wore one at Disney World and it was so hot in the heat...

I'm not plus size and hate spandex! Feels like rubber and doesn't breathe!

I don’t wear plus sizes, but I dislike spandex. I am amazed that qvc shows so many summer tops with spandex in them. They are ?HOT. Years ago, I bought a qvc t shirt that contained spandex, and I only wore it once. Never again. Cotton and silk are my choices.

I will be the outlier.  I like some stretch in my clothing. Just a little prevents clothes from being too stiff and sometimes too boxy.

I am not a woman who is hot all of the time, so a little spandex doesn't overheat me even in 110 degree temperatures.

I hate spandex in most everything especially tops.  Denim & Co perfect jersey 95/5 cotton spandex is like wearing a rubber suit.  I think they are cheap looking and the minute you wash them they pill and wrinkle like crazy.   I don't like Modal, rayon/spandex either.  We can't always like the same thing but I don't know many people who like rubberized clothing.  JMO.

Cotton tees don't favor me. They hang on me like a sack. The addition of a little bit of spandex makes them more form-fitting. For tops that are supposed to be fairly loose, I l like rayon.

I will only wear jeans or pants with a small amount of stretch as well and for the same reason.
