Just this year alone, I have received 4 items with holes in them. They have been from different brands, so it's not just one line that doesn't do quality control. All have been poor sewing jobs along seams and not actual holes through the garment.

2 items I have returned, 2 I have just fixed myself.

What is going on? Is it just me or have any of you have issues with this? It's not like I'm paying $20 for this stuff, either. They are not cheap...

@MM13   that's beyond disappointing.

Most likely the only reason I haven't encountered the problem is that I made my last online clothing purchase anywhere from QVC a year ago February.  

I always have purchased the majority of my wardrobe locally, but now I am even stronger in my belief I will do that as long as I can - although for the rest of 2021 I am going to try to buy no more new.  My contribution to me bank account and to the environment, the latter another story for another thread

Wow! I'm so sorry this happened to you. That's crazy and unacceptable.

I've also noticed crooked stitching, pulls on sweater knits, and sloppy hems, but never an actual hole that I can remember. 

Another reason I prefer to buy in person so I can examine the garment closely, but I haven't bought clothing in person in over a year due to the pandemic.

@millieshopsI aspire to have that kind of self control!

@wilma  Your dog is so cute!

Thanks. That's my dog, Wilma, who passed away in 2016. Still have photos of her around the house & on my iPhone & iPad.

No, it's not only you.  

Could you tell us the country they were made?

Aww, I'm so sorry. I lost mine last year and am still heartbroken. They will never leave us!

Let me check...

@Foxxee  2 made in China, 1 made in Vietnam, and 1 unknown as I returned it a while back. (I had another color in another item I sent back.)

Thanks.  I expected all to be made in China, so I'll have to keep an eye on Vietnam.
