My grandma told me to always check the seams on a $5 dress, and she was right

I found a cute floral dress at a fast fashion pop-up in Phoenix last summer, and it looked perfect. She said to turn it inside out and check the stitching, which was already coming loose in three places. I bought it anyway and it fell apart after two washes. Anyone else have a simple check they do now before buying cheap clothes?

Check the fabric weight by holding it up to the light. If you can see your hand through it, that thing is going to be see-through or tear so fast. Learned that after buying a shirt that basically dissolved. Your grandma gave solid advice, we just have to actually listen to it.

But what about sheer fabrics on purpose?
