An observation

Lila4Now — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 14:29:57 GMT

As I was flipping through the channels, SG was doing her infamous "my garments don't cling to your back". Yes, they sure do! Watch the models, all of them lean back and arch their backs to keep them from doing that. In a normal stance they cling like plastic wrap! I feel sorry for the fools who believe her banter. Even on the toothpicks, her tops cling to everything.

Toothpicks? Are you referring to the models?

@Krimpette, You better arch your back when in public. If you don't, her tops hug every lump and bump on your back. They even hug the outline of your bras, if you don't arch your back. That's the reason I have never purchased one. When you catch a model not arching their back, you see lumps on all of them.

@Lila4Now Interesting. I've got more of her liquid knit tops than I'd even want to admit to. I absolutely love the fit. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy as many as I have. To each their own. (Oh, and i don't walk around with my back arched.)

LOL You have never even tried one on yet think this is what you see on TV? A giant top conspiracy to seduce buyers?

Oh good gracious, couldn't disagree more!

I have purchased several SG over the years and have NEVER had them cling to me and I certainly do NOT walk around with an arched back!

I order my proper size and they just fit and flow fine. Her tops do not hug the outline of my bras. I find this so silly! Now Skinny Tees hug my lumps and bumps, LOL

Maybe if they look clingy, they should use Static Guard!

@RespectLife. Well said!

@RespectLife, I've never bought one because I care what I look like. I have seen what they look like on the models when they're not arching theri back. I never want to look like that. To each their own, just my observation.

I'm sure you didn't mean to insinuate that @Krimpette and I, and the thousands of others buying and wearing her tops DON'T care what we look like? Unfortunately, that is what the above post is saying.

Believe me, I care very much about my appearance. My job requires it. If I were lumpy & bumpy, my husband would tell me so!

Luckily, there are a million other designers in the retail world for you to choose from. We should never be uncomfortable in how we fit or feel in our clothing. However, please do not assume that others are walking around like sausage casings in this line. It just is NOT true.

I went through a phase of buying SG liquid knit and I found myself never wearing her tops. Yes some of them do cling and I also don't care for the feel of the fabric. I know it's supposed to be the number one selling fabric on the Q but it never felt as comfortable to me as some of the other lines here.

@Lila4Now Very presumpuous of you to make accusations about a product you have never purchased. If the models arch their back that is just a usual model stance, not an attempt to hide anything about the article being worn. Also you say you were just clicking through channels, but I'll bet you actually watch Graver.

As far as referring to the models as toothpicks, the models on QVC are of many different sizes and shapes from thin to plus and tall to petite.

My suggestion would be for you to actually purchase an article before commenting on how it fits and looks. You may be pleasantly surprised to find them comfortable and complientary in appearance.

I have at least 100 of Susan's liquid knit tops, they are my go to tops and No, they do not cling and are very comfortable and attractive. I love clothes and putting together good looking outfits and get many compliments on what I am wearing. Got two yesterday and I was wearing Graver liquid knit!

As the saying goes "Put your money where your mouth is" In other words, don't knock something if you havn't tried it.

I have many SG tops and jackets in all different colors and styles and mix and match to keep my look fresh. I am a plus-sized curvey woman and can attest that her clothes do not cling to you! I work in a professional corporate office and get compliments all the time on her clothes. The big plus is they can be washed a thousand times and never fade and never loose shape. I am still wearing items I purchased 5 or so years ago.

How rude to describe the models or anyone else for that matter in such a derogatory way.

Re: An observation

cowtownlady — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 18:28:12 GMT

Let me join the bandwagon of SG Liquid Knit wearers and say I have no problem with the fit or clinginess. I am a 3X, probably at the top of that size range, and have dozens of LK tops. For years I wore the Carolyn Strauss line at HSN which was nylon/spandex & poly/spandex. When that line was DC'd I came over to liquid knit and like it even better than CS. As for the models pose, it is just that - a pose, and not an attempt to deceive or conceal a fit flaw.

Wow. What a hurtful thing to say. What do you refer to the plus size models as?

I just purchased SG tank dress that was on fashion day last friday...fits very nicely, not to deep in the front, armholes are the right size and it does not clling at all and I am very body conscious.

The only thing I am not wild about is that it is long, which I knew when I ordered it...I will probably have it hemmed. I don't like short dresses and not a fan of maxi dresses but this dress fits nicely, just long. I will wear a jacket with it since it is sleeveless.

@suzyQ3. I totally agree with you. I was very thin most of my younger life. (Those days are gone forever, by now.). I heard every derogatory comment/name you can imagine. I can only feel sorry for people who stoop so low as to make such hurtful, rude comments.

A rude and insulting post, by someone who has never bought nor worn a SG garment. That says more about the poster than it does about the line of clothing or the models.

I don't have a lot of SG, but I do have a few things and they are nicely made and I've been complimented on them. However, I guess I just don't care what I look like! (According to your subsequent post.)

(Could you be any more insulting?)
