It made me think about the kinds of things I buy. It's a lot harder to find quality clothing for women over 50 than it used to be. A quick read ... I found especially interesting the chapter on thrift stores, and what happens to our clothing after we donate it away.

This is an amazing book! Women have needed a read like this to explain the drop in price, style and quality of clothing available in stores today. Time to get out the sewing machine!

This book was difficult to read because it was so poorly written. It is amazing that it was published. The subject was interesting however her presentation was poorly organized. She writes like a high school student.

I suspected this all along. If everyone read this book and absorbed its message, it would literally change the world.

A well-balanced expose of the cost of the current fashion industry in human exploitation and environmental degradation. Most interesting was the new trends--the cost cutting factories in Asia are now unable to compete for quality goods, so real high fashion manufacturing may come back to North America.

Most people must buy the cheaper imitations because the brand names are too expensive except as for special occasion items; designer items are even more ridiculous because 90% of the cost is that square inch or so of designer label.

A good subject, with interesting but very anecdotal support. Scattered presentation of her material made this less than interesting to read. On the other hand, it was a very FAST read because of that.

Read this book before shopping.
