A local woman attempting to demolish some of her tax return at Westfields has yet again returned home empty handed, having been faced with the option to either pay $40 for a poorly made top that would probably begin to unravel after a few turns in the washing machine, or spending an obscene amount for a fancy singlet.
Struggling to also find clothes online, seeing as she usually has a 50% success rate on whether it will fit or not, Rebecca Talbot, 32, says she’s turned to op shopping to find reasonably priced, good quality clothing – because if she sees another puffy sleeved, neutral coloured dress or oversized blazer, she’ll scream.
“Oh god, it’s just gotten so dire, especially if you live in the suburbs”, explains Rebecca, “I truly do believe they send all the nicer stock to the cities.”
“Myer is so bad, especially the dress section. Everything is so frumpy? Who’s buying a floor length baby pink dress with puffy sleeves?”
“There’s no tailoring or nipping in at the waist. It’s all just shapeless and unflattering.”
Rebecca says that her cheaper options are either Glassons or Cotton On, which she says is more for the younger crowd, or turning to Dissh, Witchery or Country Road.
“Then it’s paying $150 for basic clothing, and everything’s bloody brown, white or black.”
More to come.
