PSA; Genuinely horrible quality from UO this past year :(
Someone posted about this a few weeks ago but I thought I’d share that the quality is just abysmal for what I paid recently for two shirts.
The first was a long sleeve kimchi blue shirt with a print and attached lace, was on clearance but retails for $40. The lace ripped on the bottom of the shirt upon putting it on… the second time I wore it. I loved the fit so I went and cut off the remaining lace and left the mesh bottom, and am hoping I can make it work. If anything else I can remove all the layering lace on the arms too and wear another lace shirt under the main tee but on principle, that’s ridiculous.
I also recently got the luckiest one cami in the same day, paid $40. It’s pulling at the seams already by where the armpit is and I wore it once. It’s such a cute top and I will sew the seams to reinforce it if it tears but it’s still ridiculous for the price being dropship quality essentially. I know it’s fast fashion, but I do not experience this level of literally falling apart before I’ve even washed it at other places that are fast fashion, most are at least good for a while before there’s issues. Free people has been like this too, and they’re owned by the same parent company. Which in itself is ridiculous considering how expensive FP is. I’m just really frustrated, I’ve loved UO for ages but I’m going to hiatus until the quality vastly improves.
