Is it me or are clothes sold today poorly made?

[bleedingheart]

I buy a lot of my kids stuff at Kohl's and lately I have purchased some stuff at Chico's on sale for myself...but I have to say that I am shocked at how poorly made most clothing is....

I bought the following items for my daughter and all of them have seams that have come undone after one washing...

two turtlenecks
one summer top
a little dress


for me..

two cotton tops
a pair of jeans and the fabric seems less sturdy than normal denim.
I bought a really cool dinner coat at Chico's last year that had tassles...all of them came off ...just fell right off the damn jacket...


Now I have a sewing machine and have repaired many items but I am finally getting fed up with this bullshit.
