Woolworths and poor quality in the same sentence - I never thought I'd see the day!

I bought a dress on sale and a few weeks thereafter, I noticed a tear on either side of the garment. I found it strange since it was my size and I attribute quality to Woolworths products. It was disheartening since i love the design and feel of the dress. The tears could not be sewn because of the type of material. I ironed the dress last night to wear to work today an d there was no tear at the back. Only whilst at work an employee pointed out that the dress was torn at the back! This is humiliating. I cannot fathom how Woolworths could sell such poor quality garments - it's a first!
