To the critics, what exactly would you all say if you were selling a clothing item?

I doubt it would be "This would work only for [insert size, height, coloring, etc.].

I rarely hear it, but I do know Jill B. said on air several times in her Q career not to buy something if you are “a certain shape” and if you don’t like “such & such style”. IMO she was pretty honest when selling clothing items. 

Just last night, I heard Jane T. with Gary from D & Co. say not to buy a certain maxi dress they were selling if you are petite, because the dress had a very low point on one side of the hem. 

Guess there’s hope for truth telling in sales.

@wilma, when I used to watch, I do remember similar comments. Note how they are framed: They don't say that an item would look good only on a certain body or on a certain skin tone; they mention that an item might not be for a certain shape.

It's a subtle difference.

I’ve heard that, and I understand what you are saying. Hosts and vendors say lots of things to get us to buy.
