Bait & Switch?

Worn: April 22, 2013

I bought two new "Coach Tour" dresses from Modcloth over Thanksgiving, this one, in "Violet", and another, in "Spearmint". They didn't seem quite as nice as the "Bleu" I had bought a year earlier, so I carefully inspected them. Every hem and every seam appears to be identical, but the new dresses are made with a slightly thinner and shinier material that looks cheaper. I wonder if the new colors were always that way, or if lower quality fabric was substituted when the style became popular on Modcloth. Don't get me wrong; I still like the dresses and expect to get a lot of use out of them. But my temptation to continue buying more colors in the style has greatly waned.
