I have literally a closet full of leggings and tshirts and I've purchased both in many different places from many different brands. I do find Spanx to be good and for me worth the money based on how much I wear them... I do not understand Gails claims that finding good leggings and tshirts are hard to find. I could give a list of great quality leggings and tshirts that cost a fraction of what hers do. I guess she is trying to save money packing and shipping herself (and probably trying to gain sympathy as well) I agree with you that kitchen table operation would probably be a nightmare for returns. Sometimes saving money isn't the right thing to do, having a proper DPD is important. I would bite the bullet and try them but I'm in the US
