Another fan here. I own a lot of EF because the quality and style of the clothes perfectly suit my sophisticated casual lifestyle. As others have mentioned, the fabrics are luxe and hold up to washing (I hand wash EF) and years of wear. What I appreciate most is the fit. I'm a size 16-18 and EF is one of only a few brands I can count on to fit me consistently, particularly in pants. The EF shoes I own are also winners. Though I try to buy on sale, I've learned that if I madly love something at full price I should just buy it already. I've never regretted those purchases.
Sounds like I should check out those home goods items! I have seen them in Garnet HIll, but never ordered any.
