Comparable stuff at better prices in regular stores

I'm sick to death of her boatnecks. I don't like those at all; not comfortable and bra straps tend to show. Her tops are very pricey (I know, I know everything had gone up in price), but too much liquid knit.

Yes, I have noticed.

Tried a pair of her liquid knit pants on sale, interesting fabric and fit well, but Denim & Co, and Dennis Basso have fabrics so similar and I think better, few would notice, but hers is patented.  

Too much repetition of the same pull on style pants and tops, all costing too much for the simplicity of the plain pant and top styles she designs.   

Once in a while she comes up with something, usually cotton, that I might take a second look.

I started purchasing SG from the beginning and continued until I retired.  I have many tank tops with longer jackets and many tops. Love the slim liquid knit pants.  Of course I can't wear them anymore due to weight gain.

I would say my SG purchases rank up there with Locknlock.

Now I browse the shops since I dress very casual these days.

The most repetitive thing about Susan Graver is her sales spiel where she says the exact same thing over and over for like 30 years now! It's always the same. She doesn't even try to tweak a phrase, or say it in a different manner, or come up with something original or new to try and describe her items. She's on autopilot. I swear at this point she can reel that spiel off in her sleep!

I buy for style and color.  I have bought some of her clothing over time. I do feel the prices have risen beyond what I want to pay for the LOOK I am getting.  I  now buy for price and usually somewhere else.

I like Susan Graver fashion.  Not everything, of course.  What I do like, I find that the quality is definitely there.  I am no expert, far from it, but I am thinking that there could be cost savings for her brand when they use the same design pattern instead of coming up with something completely new for every piece.  For instance, I like her button down shirts.  The ones I own are basically the same shape, whether in corduroy or linen blend or a silky poly blend.

Has anyone noticed how repetitive her tops have become. Not only that the prices of her pieces have become ridiculous. Stopped purchasing anything from her

@GOURMET4748   Since you're not a customer, it appears you have no issue with her line and nothing about which to complain.

What are you talking about? You make no sense.

I wore SG for many, many years.  I stopped about 10 years ago when our company adopted a business casual dress code and then shortly after that they allowed us to wear jeans, sneakers etc.  SG pieces didn't fit into my casual life anymore and Liquid Knit seemed old fashioned.  I did buy a pair of SG jeans last summer and I the style and the fit.  I think most of her designs are what she's been doing for 30 years.  Which obviously is what her customers want.  She is the most popular designer on QVC.

The first time I bought anything Graver, was way back in the stone age.  I thought the designs were unique.  Back then Susan often collaborated with her MIL on the designs.

After Audrey Gravery passed, the uniqueness of the designs were gone.  That's when I stopped buying.
