Best/Worst Season to Shop at Gracie's

[Underneath The Stars]

Have to say I hate unlocking the T&T Emporium during the summer because she sells the worst items during this time, but at least you can save bells when Fall comes.

I don't care for the Trump series she has during her sales. I think the giant cards are ugly. Unless you're doing an Alice in Wonderland theme, then they're okay. But aside from that, they're terrible. Not super excited about the Sweets series in the fall, either. Or the Gracie series in the summer. Basically, I only like Gorgeous and Princess.

The card series during sales is one of my least favorites along with the sweets and gracie series. The gorgeous and princess series are the only ones I like, which I think is in the winter and early spring. I'm not a very big fan of Gracie items surprisingly.

The only Gracie furniture I really like is the Gorgeous series, although I wish you could change the red to a different color so the pieces would be more versatile. None of the others really interest me. Luckily, I unlocked her shop during winter so I didn't have to wait all year to get what I wanted.

She does have some nice dresses though. I really like the butterfly dress that's on sale now.

I hate the fall season of her store the most because the sweet set is so ugly and same with the clothes she sells.

i really enjoy the gorgeous series, but like some bits and bobs of the other sets as well. the ice cream wall lamp and the macaron music player and some other stuff. i dislike the card set as most do. d:

This thread was so needed. Imo, it’s when Gracie’s stuff is in. The set is pretty bland and basic, there’s not much variety or interesting pieces that make you want to buy it tbh. The majority of it is just standard home stuff with Gracie’s pattern slapped on it. If the pattern was interesting then sure, but it’s just circles on a blue background so it’s really not my cup of tea. I feel like you could recreate the same thing in able’s and then customise it at retail using the alpine. I’m so glad it’s currently going out of season in my Gracie’s. The clothing isn’t all that good either, there’s only one or two pieces that I really like.

^some of the wood grains are nice on the Gracie set but yeah, they look cheap for what they are. And the blue, green AND orange motif means they fit with absolutely nothing but eachother, if that.

All of her series in general would be so much better with customization. But no. I would like some variety with the Princess and Gorgeous set specifically because they are so unique, but their colors just don't fit my houses.

I would say that the winter is the best season for GracieGrace. The Gorgeous Series is my favorite furniture series in Animal Crossing. It also has the best selection of clothes (despite spring having better shoes) sold at GracieGrace.

Summer on the other hand is the worst. The Gracie Series is boring and overpriced (even most of the GameCube furniture seres are better looking), and I’m not a fan of the clothes provided.

I would say the card and gorgeous series are my favorite. The card set you can customize to black so it makes it a little more versatile then some of the others and the gorgeous series is well...pretty gorgeous.
The princess series is more classic and it works good if you have a cute or classic theme. I don't care for the sweet series and it's hard to find matching normal furniture.
I really don't like the gracie sets. The wood color is nice but her design is pretty tacky. It reminds me of overpriced ugly brands that people only wear because it's expensive. Like already worn and dirty looking Jean's. Or spending 60 bucks on an abercrombie and fitch hoodie where you could get the same thing at target for twenty bucks without the giant ugly logo.

Why does everyone hates the Gracie set, what is wrong with it?!

 

[Stackhouse]

The only furniture of hers I like is the gorgeous sofa.

The rest is crap.

 

[Hsn97]

To be honest, I?m not a fan on any of the furniture or clothing that she sells XD

I think the problem is, it's too simple. It looks too much like the regular furniture but she charges out the wazoo for it. Also, the colors are kinda hard to match with other furniture. It really only goes with itself. It's not that it's ugly furniture, it's just that it doesn't appear to be worth what she charges for it. And then it's in the store for a whole season when something else could be there.

I like the sweets set the most but the princess series is nice too. Honestly, I don?t mind the Gracie set, sure it?s not that special but for some reason I think all her sets fit well for their respective season. It?s not the first set I would buy but I like the design of the furniture and the dark wood. However, I do agree with the others that this series would be much more versatile if the pattern was customizable or just a bit simpler.
My least favorite of her furniture sets would be the card series because the different items just look so - similar. All of them are made of cards of the same size, just arraged in a different way. I don?t think it looks good in a room. The campus series suffers from exactly the same issue for me because most of the items look like notebooks (even wallpaper/flooring). However, unlike the card series, there are a few items that look unique in that set, which redeem it a bit in my opinion. The only good thing about the card series is that you can customize it, I wish they would add this option to the other sets...
I?m also not a fan of the gorgeous set, it looks a bit too "showy/tacky" for me and I?m not a big fan of combining black, red and gold in anything. *yes that goes for my country?s flag as well*

It?s hard to talk about the season I like the most in terms of clothing/accessories because I don?t remember well what is sold during which time of the year. I would probably say my favorite season for clothing is spring because gracie has a lot of cute dresses and some adorable accessories like the hair-bow wig and heart-shades. (✿❛ ֊ ❛„)

I've never liked her fall catalogue.

When nintendo updated the game last, they changed the price on the gracie furniture, so its not a super high price anymore for the gracie set. Also you can mix few furniture with the gracie set, like just change the color on the natural furniture set.
So I say the set can be mix with other sets.

 

[Stackhouse]

I don't like that you can't put items on top of most of it.

For ? of a million bells for a single item, I expect to be able to put something on it.

Complete and utter waste, the entire Gracie shop, except for the bell spending badge.

Gracie's serie is basically alpine series refurbished to dark wood and Gracie's tank as cloth
(even though I have the full serie)
