[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't anyone know how to use a sewing machine?
Am I the only one who can sew patches, take in hems, shorten sleeves?

I think that dryers are more harsh on clothes. If you have an item you like the I recommend hanging it to dry[/quote]

When the fabric itself is cheap/poor quality to being with, my ability to sew patches, adjust hems, etc. (skills I possess) is irrelevant.

46YO here and agree with all of this including that it has been this way for some time. Items I bought 20 (or more) years ago from these types of retailers (Gap, Ann Taylor, J Crew, etc.) are completely different quality even just in the fabric itself as compared to similar items from the same places today or even 10 years ago. I think the PP who put it as decline/lack of decent midrange is right. There is very little difference today in fabric quality from the retailers mentioned as compared to what is considered cheaper (Target/Walmart level I guess?). Style may be different or color choices but actual quality not so much.[/quote]
