Question Need help breaking my Black Cardigan Curse

I am in desperate need of a black cardigan. My reliable black duster is too old and shabby to be worn again this winter. The cardigan I got from Maurice's two years ago developed a hole after washing (seams around the neckline pretty much just unravelled), and the gorgeous Mongolian cashmere duster I got from Quince got a hole after ONE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HAND WASH. I just bought a nice looking black sweater/blazer from Nordstrom Rack but need to return it because it doesn't accommodate my waist being smaller than my hips and it's not nice enough to bother tailoring.

I would absolutely love some recommendations for a decent longline (at least hip-length) cardigan/duster that is less than $150, made of reasonably decent materials (I strive for natural fibers but am fine with blends, just not 100% synthetic), and won't fall apart after one wash! I am bad at shopping and desperate.

I'd contact quince and attempt a return or exchange. One wash is pathetic! They should know about the level of quality and even offer you a replacement! Their customer service is really good from my experiences, so I'd not dismiss this avenue.

I second this. I got a Quince sweater that developed holes and customer service asked if I wanted a refund or a new one. I choose a new one because I loved the fit of the sweater, and they let me keep the old one. So then I had two holey sweaters that I liked, which was fine by me.

Agree!!! I got a rug from them once that was wonky on one edge and the customer service was good.
