Returning to my blog to deliver this urgent message!

...Well, urgent in fashion terms.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM J.CREW FACTORY. The quality is below that of Forever 21. I am totally appalled by the awful quality of the 3 items I've bought there, including this sweater:


It ripped when I was putting it on (without a struggle, by the way- the ease with which it ripped was unnerving). Also, the already low quality of the fabric diminished drastically after I washed it.

I also own a Factory Jackie cardigan that is horribly faded and misshapen (compared to the 3 I have from the regular J.Crew which are holding up wonderfully!), and a pair of shorts with questionably large, weak stitching.

Seriously- my Forever 21 clothes have held up much better.

I hope you are all doing well! I admire the dedication of some of you who have had your blogs for years. I still read them and enjoy your tips and tricks!

I thought I was the only one who realized this! It's completely unacceptable - especially coming from a brand with a high-quality reputation like J. Crew.

I agree 100% with this! Their quality has gone downhill so quickly and I refuse to buy from them now! It's a good thing that I know how to sew because that has saved a lot of my clothing. They are good with returning things, though, (even worn, so they must know there's a quality issue!) so if you must buy something, save the receipt and tags!

I was so happy to see your blog post! Would love to hear updates on how school is going for you!

Bummer about your J. Crew Factory items. :)
