I only buy pajama clothes from target now.. and even then they fall apart after a few washes. It's so terrible.

I looked last time I was there and it was just sad. The PJ section was always so fun and girly and now it's neutral colors and very thin fabric that does not hide the parts that which need hiding.

My walks through their clothing department lately has me saying over and over that their designers need to be fired. No, I don't want bland neutral colors for my undies, pajamas etc. I want cute little colorful sets they used to have w tanks, tees and matching shorts/pants. Now just a sea of negativity presented in bland colors. Yuck.

I get that, I'm a guy though so I just get sweat shorts but they pill, the ties fall apart and they just get overall ratty so quickly. I should stick to Uniqlo which I can't say they have very girly stuff but they do hold up well.

As long as they fit a human body and can handle more than 10 washings, I'm happy! My husband has commented on itchy fabric and weird fit too.

Whether guy or girl their quality/design has tanked. Not spending the money I used to spend there on their clothes.
