ALL SIZED PEOPLE

AZ MO — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 07:34:37 GMT

I'm tired of QVC catering to the thin, skinny people. If you're fortunate to be one of those people that's great - I'm happy for you. However, some of us have larger builds and can't fit into those styles - like the skin tight skinny leg jeans that they keep showing. Even on some of the models, they look horrible in them. I have large thighs and the only jeans that fit me were the Dream Jeanes boot cut that were discontinued. QVC start thinking of all sized people!

They sell all clothing styles and all sizes up to 3X. I don't see where a person couldn't find something to their liking.

Because I don't want to wear a size 3 just to fit into a style that doesn't do justice to me. Some people may not care, I do. So that's why.

@AZ MO If QVC doesn't offer what you like, then wouldn't it make sense to shop elsewhere. Plenty of other places.

Speaking as a plus-size lady, I don't feel that QVC caters only to thin women. It doesn't matter to me if QVC offers things that will never work for me. I find plenty of fashions here that fit my body and my lifestyle.

I don't rely just on the items shown on tv. There are lots of options available online that have not been recently presented and those that are never shown on air. I also try to frequently check out the new arrivals.

And finally, I have started stepping out of my "comfort zone" and those "rules" about what things I should and should not be wearing at my size. Granted, not everything I've tried on has worked out but I have definitely discovered lots of "new for me" fashions that I look nice in and are comfortable to wear.

@AZ MO, I'm sorry that your favorite DreamJeanes were discontinued. I know how frustrating it is when that happens. What specifically are you looking for and would like to see offered? Would you like some suggestions for new pants? I'm also challenged with heavier thighs and understand the difficulty in finding pants that fit so perhaps I could give you some suggestions.

@DeniseColo Your response to the OP was extremely kind and understanding .

I applaud you for turning a potentially ugly thread into something positive and useful.

I am one of those "thin skinny" people OP referred to so I cannot be of much help.

But I, too, was disappointed to see the QF boot cut jeans discontinued.

@gmkb -- Thank you for acknowledging my intent. In addition to offering help to the OP, I really don't want to see this turn into a "us" versus "them", "skinny" vs "fat" type of thread. I have learned over the years that people at smaller end of the size range are just as sensitive about certain comments as those of us in the larger sizes.

Disclaimer....I use the terms skinny and fat simply as adjectives with no derogatory meaning.

Over the years I often wondered why QVC catered to older conservative dressing women and really had no variety for someone like me who while I may be older do not want shapeless styles that are just not for me but instead of complaining I shopped places that had clothing more to my liking. Now QVC has styles and sizes for so many different tastes and just because certain styles are not for everyone, there are many others that would suit just about anyone.

On the clothing shows, I see plenty of size XXS models and Large+ models, really tall models and short/petite models. I've always felt that QVC did a great job of showing their clothing on all sizes and shapes.

@AZ MO Sorry that you can’t find pants that work now that the qf style is not available.QVC never discontinues a Good seller.I think most people want to wear those skinny jeans or leggings.I can understand your frustration though.I don’t have a plus size body but I have no butt and a gut so I have problems with the skinny jeans too.The spandex flattens what I do have and makes me look even worse(front bigger than back).I liked the tunic length tops to cover that but now the fashion has become shorter on top so I will soon have to find a new style on the bottom.We all have fashion difficulties but we are also all built differently.I don’t think there will ever be a one stop shop for all.I wish we could have a body scan and then just order the fashion to fit us.

@makenaYou're right. There are lots of other places to shop.

But here's the irony I see in OP's plaint: Although right now, I'm not a plus size, when I was QVC was actually one of the better places to look for a variety of choices. There's not all that much plus size elsewhere - at least I didn't find it within my chosen price range for clothing.

Yes, they show plenty of things I couldn't wear as a 1X - but I can't wear them now at size 10 either! Still picking and choosing and finding limited choices that fit my particular body, but one of my favorite pants came from QVC - a Graver pant at 1/2 the price of another favorite from a local shop!

Now days anyone with a computer can find anything they want. Lots of options exist for all of us! I am very thankful for the variety.

I am pretty sure that Angel said on a show that those Dreamjeanes were coming back in the bootcut...they were just going to update them

I do a lot of my shopping online as well QVC. There is a HUGE difference when you can see the clothes on a model that is moving versus a photo.

My issue with QVC right now is the sizing. It is so inconsistent within different brands AND within the same brand, AND within the same item but different colors . I find the returns so frustrating .

If QVC only catered to small sized people, they would go out of business... I see all kind of models... super skinny, average and large. I do not understand the OP's problem.

Trying to be objective -- Models are varied sizes on QVC and clothes range covers more sizes than brick and morter stores. I'm a 12/14. Never offended by the smaller models. Appreciate petite pants, when I need them. More petite options than stores.

I understand the posters complaint......the largest sizes they usually show is mainly XL and occassionally a size 1X....they never show a 2X or 3X......that would be like only showing a size XS or S and not a size M or L in regular sizes.....just because they throw in a XL or 1X(rarely) in the mix sometimes....there always seems to be a overabundance of XS, S, ................

So i totally understand....and skinny jeans in the larger sizes aren't that complimentary....i usually wear a XL myself so i know...............so i hope everyone looks at it from both sides..............i think the thing that gets to ME

more then anything is having 90% of the models be 5'10"

tall....even the few plus size models are that tall....lately they have brought in a few petite size models which have been a help....but nothing like a 1X petite size.....only XS

S or 1 med size petite model i have seen.....they should show more 5'4" - 5' 6" models....average height .....i just don't see that many 5' 10" women walking around as an average size shown for women......

Happiness Is Inside JOB — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:48:54 GMT

I am a plus size and I think QVC does a GREAT GREAT JOB. I am old enough to remember when only ONE....ONE ...Store sold plus sizes....ROMANS via mail order catalogs.

We plus size are so BLESSED to have QVC, HSN, all the varous vendors....As a plus size, I can get clothes anywhere....target, old navy, talbots, macys etc.

If a person is over a 3X then the best place is other vendors but QVC does a great job. Also I remember HSN used to sell 4X and 5X about 20 years ago and they had to stop, I don't know if the items were selling.

As far as appearance in clothes, it is a personal taste issue. Some people like more fitted clothes, others like loose clothes. The model's job is to show the item, a person does not have to wear it like that.

QVC is great and I'm tell you I THANK GOD every day for QVC!!!

@AZ MO

While someone said that QVC sells sizes up to 3X, that doesn't mean that a style will look good on someone just because QVC offers that size.....I'm a medium and some of the styles look awful on me... a peblum styled top from Issac made me look like I was ready to go to the hospital maternity ward to deliver.....and your right leggings don't look good on all body types...OY!!! I've caught to a little WARNING SIGN--BUYER BEWARE....when I see a clothing style and only the models that are XXS are showing an item that's big red WARNING--..I know that item would look awful on a size medium on up.....and that's why other sized models werent chosen to present it........
