I think it only became more deeply ingrained when I started wedding dress shopping last year and realized that unless I wanted to spend several thousand dollars I was going to be a polyester bride. It is mainly the price for the synthetics that bothers me. She made a bunch of polyester and rayon shirts specifically to imitate the look and feel of silk and then charged prices for them that would get you a silk shirt elsewhere. I also have a serious beef with synthetic nightgowns~skin needs to breathe at night!Chic and Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11828581990867130296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480219479562867021.post-42939540838142580022007-09-09T23:32:00.000-04:002007-09-09T23:32:00.000-04:00"beat it with a stick" lol that line is classic.<BR/><BR/>honestly, I can understand the shoddy workmanship spiel, but I don't think there's anything wrong with synthetics... of course, I'm biased..Gloriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10319093045566102387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480219479562867021.post-56315299709329649062007-09-09T18:36:00.000-04:002007-09-09T18:36:00.000-04:00They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so thanks for posting yours.

While I was there I checked out the label's on the Mizrahi and discovered he actually does use quite a bit of synthetics. But still, a larger percentage of his clothes were available in cotton or silk, than the Vera Kohl's line. I then looked at the Libertine line and found that every piece was made with natural fibers! Silk! Cotton! Cashmere! This is what I'm talking about!Chic and Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11828581990867130296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480219479562867021.post-37802976819014522122007-09-09T11:53:53.656-04:002007-09-09T11:53:53.656-04:00it's good when target brings famous designers in to design lines...because they have good quality merch. I have always thought Kohl's was cheap looking crap so it would only make sense that the Vera Wang follows suitCarolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15189660647644122883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480219479562867021.post-81158640961543656442007-09-08T22:36:48.826-04:002007-09-08T22:36:48.826-04:00I just re-read it. It is a bit harsh, but I was pretty bitter because I'd been looking forward to this line for so long!Chic and Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11828581990867130296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480219479562867021.post-70430974623893691222007-09-08T22:18:00.000-04:002007-09-08T22:18:00.000-04:00Wow that was some review!
