If your looking for a top quality, warm, feminine fit down jacket, check out the Marmot Venus down Jacket!
Patagonia is more expensive and the fit is a bit baggy and the stitching is not as detailed so it appears to have less down. I returned the Patagonia down jacket when checked out the quality and fit of the Marmot down jacket. I now have two Venus jackets x-small and they have keep me warm in Colorado snow and in California coast chilly evenings.
With Patagonia your just paying for the name, with Marmot you paying for the name and quality.

You certainly have a right to your opinion and I agree with you that the Marmot Venus is a nice jacket, my wife owns two of them along with one Patagonia Down Sweater. But, to say Patagonia is not a quality product is just wrong. My wife and I have worn our Down Sweaters for a couple years now and have had zero issues with the down, stitching or zippers. Same can be said with the Marmot, they are both fine pieces of gear.
