Complaint Review: Fashion Bug

I went in to Fashion Bug after work on Friday 8-16-02 and spent $30 dollars on a shirt. When I got home I noticed a couple of loose stitches and thread hanging from the inner shell.I wore it for a few hours the next day to a wedding and then wore it to work the next Wednesday.

During the day I noticed there was an inch long hole in the seam of the sleeve and the hemline of the inner shell had several runs starting in it. I went out that night to return it (no tags or receipt) and was refused because it was dirty (i like white shirts but i always manage to get something on it). I asked if I washed it and brought it back clean if they would take it back they said no because then it would be worn and washed. I have since found the receipt and will wash it and try to return it.

I expect a certain level of quality when I spend $30 on a shirt. I'd like to be able to wear it several times before I see anything fall off or come undone. I have bought other things from them before and the same thing has happened with the hemlines (they come undone). Each store Ive been into has a rack of damaged returns for sale.

As far as the style of the clothing theyve got a good thing goin on but when the wal-mart clothing line is cheaper and better quality it makes me wonder if I should go for the fall apart expensive line of Fashion stink Bug or the Back to School rack at Wally World.
