Paying a high price for clothes does not guarantee quality. Viewers learn the ways to spot well-made clothes.

This program shows what to look for in clothing, and how to test clothing before buying. Learn what four questions to ask before you buy, how to evaluate a garment's fabric and lining, and what high-quality seams, hems and pockets look like. Examine "vanity sizing" and how to buy the right size, what care labels can tell you about clothes they are on, and why frequent sales may mean.
