This is a pet hate of mine - I have a cousin who does this often..

So come on people - own up .. Are you a wardrober ? If so, WHY?

Bloomingdale's takes a stand against shoppers who buy a garment, wear it, and return it by introducing hard-to-hide plastic tags

The store is now attaching what they call a ‘B-tag’ to dresses in visible spots, like hemlines. Once removed, a dress will be rendered nonreturnable under new conditions outlined by the national retailer.

Brit, it's just for the blazers, jackets and the likes.

not the inner wear. we are all gonna buy the same style, the same color and wear it at the same time.

then we changed... :)

Fathi, yes, I was told by somebody who works there.

Good thing i do not frequent designer ware stores.

That's quite a revelation there. Guess the more expensive stores must face this quandary than the lower budget ones.. then again, who knows? Yeah I believe in always washing/getting laundered a new garment before I wear it. Being OCD has it's advantages!

That's really cheap and low1 no, I never have done that and I never will.

I have heard about it though...apparently it happens a lot in Blue Salon and similar establishments here in Qatar.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What is the fun in that ?

The other day, I saw a woman open a pack of children's underwear and try it for size on her offspring...

She then replaced the item back in the pack :O(

First World problems, eh? I'm sure we could tell some kid in Syria about wardrobing and he would just be so MAD!!!

By snessy• 19 Sep 2013 08:57

Great idea! This is why I wash before I wear...agree with all the above comments.

I hope every brand introduces something like that....

I think many do it and they do it with much Dignity... like carry many clothes with them to show other shoppers SEE HOW MANY I HAVE ATTITUDE...

really unethical and very bad thing...

Yes Brit I gladly despise such people :(

Sadly, it is quite common and I agree very wrong.

I would never do such a things, its cheating. No person with even a tiny bit of integrity would do that.

I would hope my integrity was worth more than some garment.

Never have been and never will be! I find the practice very deceitful, unethical and just plain wrong. Personally I would feel quite vexed if I were to find out that an outfit I spent big bucks buying, assuming to be brand new, was in fact already worn by someone else guilty of wardrobing. Kudos to the store for taking such a stand!
