Your post reminded me of a polyester blouse that I loved and wore to work years ago. I would sweat uncontrollably when wearing it. I didn’t see the connection until the 3rd-4th time wearing it. I was horrified when I went to the ladies room and saw 2 huge wet circles under my armpits that were very visible. Got rid of that blouse immediately!

I refuse to buy high poly blends or 100% polyester no matter what cutsie name they give it. For me, it's like wearing a plastic bag and it looks cheap.

I can find 100% cotton (no iron) and items with just a hint of spandex or poly at a lot of retailers. 

Yes, nice fabrics cost more at some retailers. But I have been able to find everything I want for less than Q charges for polyester.

You do realize bringing in "better" fabrics will raise the cost of the products?

I do believe the Q IS trying to keep costs down.

I can find quality clothes in "better" fabrics at a lot of retailers. Most of the time, they cost less than cheap polyester at Q.

Q is trying to keep their costs down and polyester is cheap. They market it under some cutsie names and high prices to hide the fact that it's cheap fabric.

believe me, they are far from my only resource! 

from the replies, i am not the only one who feels this way, so why get all bent out shape?  

i am well aware of QVC/HSN and their products lines, but you do have to change with the times and not be stuck in the throw away 1980's

at the very least, have a few vendors/lines with better quality overall, i don't think that's too much to ask from a national retailer.

@hkrgrl  "Bent out of shape?"

Not sure how you got that from my post, I was offering information, and trying to offer a suggestion where you can find what I thought you were looking for -- eco-friendly fabric brands.  

I mentioned Walmart for Candace, and a search for other retailers online.

But if you just wanted to rant about QVC, I misunderstood your intent.  Carry on.

It took me about 5 years to figure out that Polyester fabrics did not work for me. I found myself overheated in them, with no warmth provided by them in the winter. So, 30 years ago I decided to stick with cotton and natural fabrics. I don't iron anything; so it all looks beach casual when I wear an outfit, and that's fine for me. I understand the easy care of polyester fabrics, they just didn't work for me. I can find loads of well made cotton and natural fiber clothing online through ebay, and I wait for JJill to have sales. Lands End is nice as well. The Q offers a few 100% cotton items I have liked, as well as linen...so no complaints there.

caarefulshopper, 

to me, your answer came off a little condescending and that's what i should have said, instead of 'bent out of shape.  sometimes tone is read into comments

if you did not mean to convey that, than my apologies, 

if u did, that's fine, i have moved on...

and, no, i 'do not want to rant about QVC', where that comment is coming from is head scratching, my original post is far from a rant...

Happy Thanksgving
