i have noticed that i have bought a new shirt, it is cheap i think. it cost me $2.50. but i have noticed some damage in color in some parts of the shirt. but it is hardly noticeable. so i get to use it also.but i don't mind as most shirts are more expensive. some have cheap price also but the material used are not that wonderful. the one i bought is 100% cotton and cool to the body. so i just am happy still with it.

It is always good to buy our own comfort garments. I always see comfort than price of the garment. Its nothing wrong to buy a garment will small defects. If the feel is good.

If you buy things which cost less than others, then it stands to reason that you're going to find some kind of impact in the quality of the product. Personally, I don't really mind if there are a few bits of damage if it means that you can get it for such a good price, as I don't really like spending too much money on clothes that you're only going to wear a few times like I do because I get bored of things rather easily. I like to shop at bargain shops as it means that I don't have to spend as much, and this seems to work very well for me.

Hi hotsummer, even i observed in some of the shops they keep a board saying sale on discount - with minor damage. They tag the original price as well as discount price too, i purchased some time back one saree and made it as dress. It was very nice indeed with beautiful colour and printing. I liked it but it has some damage, the damage part i cut it off and remaining cloth i used for making dress. That was my favorite dress. Saree worth Rs. 200 after discount but after making dress it look like worth Rs. 1000/-. Choosing material is important. Have a nice day.

that's good and I think there's nothing wrong in buying cheap clothes. Now people should be more practical and when we are a wise buyer you might notice that some branded clothes also uses same materials as the cheap clothes the only difference is that they are branded.

While shopping your clothes first of all you must meet your comfort. This is what you have to see first. Make sure that the clothes which you selected is great enough fro you and also you should make sure that you have a good smile on you face for getting it. The money of the material doesn't matter any more.

We are also buying clothes with slight damage at a cheaper price. I love those cotton shirts and we always wait for the garment sale.
