I remember Delia’s! I wanted one of everything. This article brings back that intense urge to rewrite my whole self with new clothes. I still get that urge from time to time. Same urge, different catalogue (website)!

Wow. I’m a bit older so the stores and catalogs and ways we shopped were different, but that feeling you described is the same!!!! I do the same things! Thank you! ❤️

Delia's and Alloy! If I remember correctly Delia's was the slightly more expensive one. I always loved Christmas and my birthday specifically because of these magazines.

YES Alloy was a very close second to Delia's!

So relatable! We're about the same age. I first ordered a Delia's catalog in 1997 as well, as I had learned that other "cooler" kids ordered from Delia's. I passed my first catalog around the lunch table one day, only to discover that this was an older catalog and that a newer one had already come out. Ah! My mom too preferred to buy me clothes from Macy's and other stores that weren't as expensive, but I did get one or two items.
