Eileen Fisher bad quality linen

I purchased a short sleeve linen blouse and it arrived with a snag in the linen, exposing several holes in fabric of sleeve. I had hand washed and hung to dry twice. I caught the flaw the second time ironing it. Fabric is literally like tissue and wrinkles while on the ironing board! Impossible to not look like an unmade bed. Cute for 5 minutes or less. All 18 purchases I made from EF make me look frumpy and old. Not a problem I have ever encountered before, as I'm a size 4, tall and considered a style maven by my friends. Seriously, the only compliment I have received on any of the outfits I purchased was at an Assisted Living Center while visiting a patient! So be warned - if you are of the age that you don't want to look old, avoid EF like the plague. I'm 62. I contacted EF, was instructed to send garment to an "inspection center" where they will review the fabric in 4-6 weeks and possibly give me a partial gift card so I can repurchase one that isn't defective. I am underwhelmed. Where are you Nordstrom???!!!!! They can keep their old lady, garbage quality clothes. Quince is about a third the price and their linen is substantial, not tissue-like. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON EILEEN FISHER. Overpriced, poor quality, old lady styles and worse, old lady fit, on top of the worst customer service I've ever come across.
