Why is she so expensive? Her blouses are way over priced and the rest of her clothes.

What about LOGO? $70 and up is norm

Just too much embellishment on her tops now...zippers, sparkles,studs, buckles, etc....the sleeves are a huge turn off for me...ruffles, flounces, bells...she needs to get back to what initially made her successful on QVC. I bought several of her tops to wear to work....no garish flowers but some subtle patterns or solids....would buy them again but haven’t seen anything like that for a long time. The prices are way too high for what I will pay

Answer to both, because customers are obvioulsy happy to pay those prices!

LOGO and Graver booth too expensive now. And the LOGO clothes wear out with holes in the front & sleeves. Graver liquid knit pills....I am so done.

I am not happy to pay that, and I won't.

In marketing, the price is largely determined by what people are willing to pay. Most people won't pay above a certain point for something, and that 'point' is determined by the individual.

The higher the price goes, the fewer people are willing to pay it, eventually sales flatten and the seller knows the top end of the range the buyer will tolerate for that or similar pieces.

I think Qurate has simply been reevaluating the QVC price structures by establishing at what point people will simply say, "no" to something, even when they want it.

Because those are her prices. There are so many choices out there -- pay what you can afford.

I don’t like her clothes at any price.

@Equuleus. Actually those are QVC's prices. Susan doesn't price merchandise.

If you think prices are high now, wait until the latest round of tariffs kick in. They could be as much as 25% more.

short answer because that's what Q wants to charge

every brand has a price point at which they want to sell their product, stores are full of similar things

I think that Susan's clothing line is for the most part very good quality. I have worn many of her clothing pieces for years, and washed many times over. Mine are as she says, no pills, no fading.

I don't think the prices for her clothing are all that expensive. I do know that I can shop at Target, or T J Maxx, and pay less. There is some convenience for shopping at home though. Less of my time, and no gas driving.

I think we pay for the convenience of seeing the products live, modeled, and then of course delivered to our home.

It's expensive because people will pay the price if they want it. I don't need polyester or ruffles on my butt that badly!

I agree her prices are getting a little over the top but my complaint is that I can't find a tank top in her liquid knit in white. I love to wear them under jackets and blouses and have many colors but I need WHITE. Saw a tank top tonight but it had black stripes and was an overlay. Just a plain white liquid knit tank top please.

@sienna123 That sleeveless top you mentioned was $56.00! At least sleeves means more polyester for the price.lol

Yes. Her line has gotten more expensive. Especially over the past couple of years.

All I can say is - the pieces from her line I do have are well done and consistent in sizing.

** I also want to add her denim is great! Enough stretch - but not too much, and does not

end up sagging and bagging. And super soft!

(Love her crop length denim! And, I agree with her about adding a bootie come fall and winter - will be super cute!)

She is out of my budget, has been for awhile. I won't spend that much for her clothing.

I ordered and light pink and a white tank just this week. It was a brand with no stain or something like that, can't think of the name of the brand. Do a search on QVC. Looked really nice too, $41.00, I believe.

Susan’s prices are higher than those of well known designers

like Bob Mackie and Louis Dell O’lio.

Almost all her line is Liquid knit.
