Loved the variety. Would be nice if you had some retro Smith College styles, or a few that said SMITHIE. Did not like the cuts of the t shirts. A nice boxy 100% womens men style tee would be great.

I love when I can catch a sale and pick some classic up. I have not been liking the shirt cuts as much. Wish would go back to more substantial weight cottons on the oxfords or the longer polos with a boxier fit than the slim fit. They are not ver forgiving. I like a dress $#*! that look heavily starched. Also wish they would troll through the early years and re rerelease some of their more beautiful clothing for the 80's and 90's, like super thin silky sweaters and sofe cable knits. All cotton suits w/o lycra or scratch fabric.

I do buy as many of their bedding items as I used to as the cotton percale just does not seem as soft or get as soft and velvety. I hate sateen and the fact that everything sticks to it, so avoid that like the plague. I used to only buy their sheets and Shabby Chic's as I love the feeling of vintage cotton sheets that feel cool and buttery soft and just get better and better.

Wish that there was more plaid pretty bedding as my kids like that for the dorm. I am not big on cabbage roses or their ruffly stuff or the embroidered or embellished linen, but do like some old romantic patters more like liberty prints, and anything 70's-90 Laura Ashley or modern things with dots, stripes, and definitely
simple good quality thick solids. Lately the bedding too fussy for me. Wish they would bring back some of the Indian block prints that used rough borders around the motifs as part of the patterns.

Mainly i want their bedding to look like something you would use in a beach house on the Vineyard, or prints that Jackie O' and Diane von Furstenberg would sport on a wrap dress.

The homeware prices on frames, pillows and dinnerware are obscenely inflated.

This is the best salt in the world! I was reluctant to buy it as we had bought so many raved about posh salts and been disappointed that they were not as good as Morton table salt. The Maldon salt is worth every penny and utterly delicious and special. It adds incredible taste to foods particularly fish, soups, salads, sauces, meat, poultry, mushrooms root vegetables, and anything where you are tossing together a lot of
Interesting vegetables, beans, rice, or pasta dishes just bring them up a few notches. The only thing I am not as fond of it on is eggs as it has a granular quality that ends up reminding me of egg shells, so stick with Morton there. We have switched from Morton as out table salt. I felt guilty I had decades of brand loyalty to that company, as had my mother, grandmother and great grandmother. We sill buy Morton and use it for recipes, eggs and certain things. It an outstanding salt as well and in all the years my family used it there was never a single issue with it's quality. But the taste of the Muldon in a good quality wet salt grinder is addictive. We tried it as it had some many 5 star reviews for chefs and foodies, and I can see why. It's good stuff. Robust and takes the taste of your meals up several notch and adds a special magic. Highly recommend!

I love there food and the site is incredibly well organized, the descriptions adequate, I bought a lot of food items including meat from them during the early weeks of lockdown. My only gripe is I wish that some items like bread did not have to have special shipping. A bagel is still good 6 days later, maybe give folks an option whether they want it over nighted or can deal with it being a little less fresh, as long as you give them a warning, that it will go bad soon. A stick of a smoked meat should not have to be shipped so expensively. A lot of the soups shipped in winter from a cold warehouse, to a cold postal warehouse, and delivered by a cold truck, to cold porch in many states and will survive just fine and could go 2 day shipping, especially if you are going to be microwaving it to kill anything. Their shipping is very expensive.

Innovative, stylish, well mannered, creative, playful, fantastic quality, Have been in love with this store since I was a teen and wishfully trolling through the aisles at Goodwill and the Salvation Army for their products. I an't afford to shop there much, but every time I do the place puts a robust smile on my face. The sales like Boden are amazing! They buyers have an eye like no one else. It's always fresh, innovative and tasteful and anything you buy you will still love in 15 years or 25. I don't think anything I have bough from liberty has ever gone in the dust bin, it's always something friends will be happy to take. Outstanding quality and design that is forever timeless and elegant.

Great selection, and the way one can just click shop for cotton and style etc. A very well designed site... in fact one of the best I have been on in years. Clear every great navigation. Truly a delight. The only two things I would add to the screening out catagories would be to put in search for bras "without lace" and search for bras "without metal." I have an extreme nickel allergy so can't have metal next to my skin without redness, itching and irritation, have always dreamed that I didn't have to wade through lots of lacy bras that I find scratchy, or panties. I also dislike scratchy stiff firm waist bands that's something else I would like to screen out of my searches as I only shop for undies w/o annoying scratchy
waist bands. I would have also have liked to see more all cotton plus size bikini panties and bras. Plus sizes women generally want 100% cotton as they sweat more and have issue with yeast, so seeing more 100% cotton plus size undies and bras would be great, if any other lines have size equity in colors like white, cream, pink, tan and nude. I found the size charts confusing as I don't always know my size and weight. I prefer size charts that are just 0- 4X as I almost always know my size or close to it. Clearer pictures of fabrics would also improve shopping as many of the pictures are blurry so so micro shots od the fibers would be good. But really well structured selection and website. I would rate it an A++. Incredibly impressed at how quickly I could get what I wanted to do, done.

It's about time that a company brought size equity and style together. Hurray for JCrew for forming this company. The colors ways are glorious and styles fantastic. I love that one can see how the garments will look on different body types. Their exchange/return policy is great. My only peeves are that dislike about their clothing, is that I wish they had more 100% cotton clothing items, and that the cuts across one's back and upper arms are too tight at least for me. It's as if they were being cut for tiny women. I love soft, breathable, all cotton garments and don't like anything overly clingy. I don't know why all larger clothing lines seem to think larger women want to wear garments with lots of lycra, or poly blends, or want tees that cling. The styling is tip top, I just wish they would ditch the dependence on poly and lycra and depend on my breathable fabric choices like soft jersey. All of their styles are incredibly flattering, and slimming.

Keds are as good as they always have been. They hold up well and are light and comfortable. Love them. They do seem to sell out really quickly, far too early in the season.

South Moon has the cutest clothing! I love the sweatshirts and shoes. The prices are expensive though for trend clothes.

  • Dockers

1/19/18

We bought Dockers for my elderly father and he loved them. My husband also wore them for a period, but the styling didn't seem to keep pace with the times so he no longer wears them, but they wear well and are affordable, solid items of clothing that have a widespread fan base. My Dads things went through many washings at his nursing home and held up.

  • Hanna Andersson

1/19/18

Hanna Andersson clothing may be outrageously priced but it NEVER wears out. The dresses, skirts, pj's, snow clothing and hats looked almost un worn, long after they had many uses and a gazillion washes. Their cotton tights were the only ones my incredibly texture fussy kid would wear without complaint. The leggins held up better than any other retailer. My daughter always descibed the snow suits as warm and light. So I would highly recommend their clothing, if you can afford the price point, and certainly if you plan on passing items down to the younger children in your family.

  • Stride Rite

Every child in my family was raised wearing Striderite shoes. I happily followed suit, and was equally pleased. I was actually sad when my daughter sized out of them. They always wore well.

  • Timex

1/19/18

Timex watches are great, although there has been a slight dip in quality the last decade or so. Prior to that I would get years and years out of them and the band quality is also not as good as it was. But for the price point, they are wonderful.

  • Amazon

6/4/17

We often order via Amazon, it's quick, easy and they always have anything we want. S We recently started streaming some of their web series like Catastrophe and I Love $#*!. I can't wait for their new seasons to start. Both are thoroughly entertaining and hilarious, and beat with HBO and Showtime have been showing as of late, other than Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies and The Night Of. The movies choices are also great. So I've been quite pleased with Amazon.

I love Family Search and have found so many things on it. The staff are always incredibly sweet and really try to help. It's amazing that it is a free resource to us all and I will always be graretful that it exists.
