Frugal Clothing: M. Mac

It isn't often that I recommend a specific brand or store, but I sometimes (after years of trial) will tell you about a sure fire money saver.

For the last five years I have purchased cotton knit dresses from M. Mac.  They are located in California and their clothing is completely made in the United States.  The dresses I have purchased are of a very high quality, last for many years and hold up beautifully to machine washing and drying.

I still own the first dress I bought from them and it still looks as good as it did when it was new.  It is printed with M. Mac's most popular screen print, the rock fish pattern.

I tend to buy their maxi dresses with short or long sleeves and a modest neckline.  Here's one of my favorite designs:



M. Mac has started selling their dresses through Amazon, so it is easy to order.  I will provide a link below.  Some people may think that a price of $60-70 (American dollars) is expensive, but for a dress of high quality that will last for years it's actually inexpensive.

I would rather buy one or two high quality items a year to add to my wardrobe than ten pieces from a big box store that will have to be thrown away after a year of washing.  I plan on sharing more of my frugal clothing finds in future posts.

God bless,
Pam

  1. Do fill in the neckline? I always seem to have to if a v neck, but I am short so I always feel the come down too far.

    I find clothes in the Land's End catalogue.

    1. I am short and short waisted also. I usually order the curved neckline and I don't need to wear a camisole for modesty. Land's End clothing is also very good.
