For the most part I find the quality of clothes in many shops are inferior. Material is coarse or poly and fall apart fairly quickly. I'm one of those folks who walk through the shop running my hand over the material on the racks before I even look at the garment. Yep, I've shopped at Rima's and Penny's and they have their uses, but as soon as you wash a few times they start to fade or unravel (except Rima's poly stuff which will clog the dump for eons). Quality clothes are very expensive here, although I have found a few shops in Marigot that can be sort of reasonable.
I expect a lot of choices depend on your budget. You won't find me paying $100 for a dress that will get bleached in the sun, can't be washed, may spend a day at the bottom of a beach bag.
