I own a silk dress from Reformation, and it kept ripping at the seams. I had to get it fixed 3 times, and I gave up on the fourth time it ripped. If I pay over 500 for a dress, I expect it not to fall apart. It was way too fragile and delicate and not wearable. What a waste of money.
I remember looking at their website and seeing that their patterned dresses didn’t line up at the seams and that just seems unacceptable to me when the price is that high
Dry clean only is a ticket to the world without taking complaints from customers. 80% of clothes can be washed at home without any problems but it's easier to tag that it's your fault that stitches were flimsy. Recently, I've seen wool blend with silk suit and normally it would be dry clean only but the designer not so popular and more honest. It was machine wash with care as it should be.
I'm a Fashion Designer that makes everything in my atelier in the US/ México border, I work directly with Indigenous Artisans in Mexico and everything is made by hand. All artisan work is paid above their asking price, and I only using high quality natural fibers. I also use real sterling silver and shell buttons. I have a hand painted silk/linen blend blouse that is hand painted for right under 500 including tax and free shipping. I have had people tell me my clothes are overpriced and they could get the same quality for so much less.
dry cleaners still wash a lot of clothes in traditional washing machines... they are just a little more careful about the chemicals they use but you can also do that at home with a little bit of research.
I feel like reformation’s quality has decreased a bit after it really popped off a few yrs ago I.e. before influencers started wearing them. Not saying their increase in main stream popularity is a bad thing but I feel like higher quality but “still affordable” depending on your income type brands start cutting corners when their consumer base increases even tho the prices stay relatively the same…

"Sustainably made in Overseas" 😂😂
Thank you for a true review! I thought they were pretty overpriced for the qualityof clothing they provide.
Also, if you have to dry clean it every time u clean it, is it really more sustainable?

They look cheap to me

sustainability should always involve complete transparency about suppliers and labour!
‘Overseas’ 🤣 why don’t they be specific
I LOVE that she calls out high end or expensive brands when they're poorly made and not worth it

My biggest pet peeve in fashion is unnecessary bows
