[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I checked out some stores over the weekend and tracked down some recs from this thread. Thanks for the input! I'm listing my impressions in case anyone else is shopping for dinnerware.

-V&B: not really feeling these in person but can't pin down why. Great deal at Bloomingdales though, at 50% off.
 
-Pottery Barn: lots of reviews that PB dinnerware is too heavy and also shows silverware marks, so didn't check these out in person.

-IKEA: used to have some plates from here and they developed hairline cracks.

-C&B: thought I would like Aspen, but the "foot"/ridge felt too high so it was uncomfortable to hold the plate in one hand. Would not like unloading and loading dishwasher. Maybe I just have small hands. The Everyday line actually was most appealing with the lower foot, and I like that they are porcelain. Will probably pick up 8 or 12 dinner plates, some bowls, and get cups/saucers and other items elsewhere.

There is an outlet store at Potomac Mills for Corelle.  It may not really be an "outlet"  but the price was good and they had all of the designs in stock.

-Corelle: still not a fan of most, but found some awesome looking entree bowls that have a more defined look. Would be great for serving pasta and stews and soups. Can't argue with the price! [b]Target is sold out, so searching elsewhere. [/b]I remember eating from Corelle at grandma's and these dishes were very light but sturdy.

-Sur La Table: totally forgot about them but I love this store, so I will look around to see if they have some white dinnerware that would work well with the C&B dinner plates.

-WS: I didn't check them out because I've started to really dislike the shopping experience and service. Last two orders had issues and when I made a big All-Clad purchase here, they refused to honor the promotional deal after I sent in all the necessary forms. Should have stuck with SLT.  :x [/quote]

You can get Corelle on Amazon![/quote]

Thanks - I checked, but they don't seem to carry the specific dish I'm looking for. Looks like Walmart stocks them periodically, so I'll keep an eye there. [/quote][/quote]
