All of my Denim and Co. items are well made and I enjoy them.  I also enjoy CCB, Peace Love World, and Barefoot Dreams.  

 

To be honest, unless it's something I HAVE to have, I buy on clearance or sometimes as is so I rarely pay the original Q price and Denim and Co. usually has a reasonable clearance price.

I have noticed a significant increase in Denim & Co prices.  Possibly brands such as Isaac, CCB, Graver, Logo, etc had slower price increases over time, where D&C seemed to leap to higher costs more slow and steady.

 

 The point I would like to make is not about costs.  Its the references to "old lady" clothes.  What exactly is so wrong about looking like an old lady?  Especially if one is an old lady.  Be an old lady and be loud and proud!!!  It's not something to be ashamed of or want to try to pretend you are not.   Sorry if I have upset anyone here - I know that the old lady comments were not meant to be mean.  I've got "a thing" about standing up to agism when I see it.

@PhilaLady1 ..........Oh yes the age comment and all of the other "old lady" comments are meant to be mean.  Its derogatory and meant as a negative.  Dont kid yourself.

I really like Denim & Co clothes, although I mostly purchase tops and rarely pants. In fact, I rarely purchase pants on line at all unless I am absolutely sure of the fit in a brand I know. I don't care for Isaac Mazrahi or Candace Cameron Bure fashions and would never buy them for the name since they don't hold much interest for me. I will say I've never bought a D&Co top that I was unhappy with or that I thought was made from sub-standard fabrics. Oh, and I'm an old lady so...

I tend to agree with the OP. Denim & Co. is a very casual brand, so pricing should reflect that. For me, I prefer Issac's clothes because of the material and styling. D & C charges $40.00 for a top that I could buy for half price at Costco or Kohl's. Kim Gravel's line is one I didn't care for.

I've also noticed the higher prices for Denim &Co. They used to be my go to for quality, reasonably priced clothes...now I seldom buy and only when on sale. As for other lines, IMO, Belle is extremely over priced; CCB is too trendy for my taste; and Isaac is over rated. I'm not one to buy something because it's considered "designer wear".😏

I have not had any quality issues with QVC clothing and I purchase over a wide variety of brands. I like woven tailored blouses with jeans or leggings. I buy very little D&C & have nothing against the brand. But, Susan Graver woven blouses, Side Stitch, Joan Rivers & Laurie Felt are my go to for blouses.

As far as “old lady” & fashion, well I am one. I buy age appropriate and one can tell I’m an old lady, visually, not by the clothing I wear. Even toddler’s clothing has large floral design. Some people like flowers and loud prints no matter what their age. If you are of a certain age you are an “old lady” no matter what designer you wear. So no need to disparage people because their taste may be different. I’m happy to wake up each day & feel good. I mean what’s the alternative. If you don’t like certain brands don’t buy them no need for “old lady” comments.

We are amidst inflation and costs on everything have gone up, including clothing. I also purchase a lot from JJill & a plain blouse on their website is $258. And, you pay S&H but I see now if you purchase over $100 you get reduced shipping.

@Effie54  The style of clothing should not and does not reflect the cost of materials, labor and shipping.

 

I agree about Costco. They have great deals at great prices but they are waaaay bigger  than QVC.

I just don't understand why people complain about prices.  There have always been and always will be things I cannot afford or am unwilling to pay the price for.  Why complain about it?  It is totally your decision whether or not to buy new clothing.  And don't say you are surprised.  Just look at what you pay for gasoline and that should tell you that everything else is increasing, too.

I'm older myself...but I wouldn't wear D&C, Liquid Knit or other styles Q presents as I find them Dowdy  and unstylish.
