I don't watch enough to answer your question, but I do know I appreciate the "click here" garment measurements for each item. I look a bit at how the item fits the models. How long and loose does it look, are the arms tight, neckline too wide, wrinkly, etc.? But the measurements on the item page are the most helpful.

Personally I think she is going to be mortified if she watches that video of herself. It clung to her stomach and looked awful. She definitely needed a medium, at least. The models looked great however!

With Q hosts and models, size is a vanity thing. They'd die before they'd admit to being anything larger than a small. The only honest host is Carolyn Gracie who wears a large but needs a XL.

The size guide online has been useless to me because many fashions are sized differently from each other and to the guide. Barefoot Dreams I need a different size from Candace Bure and Laurie Felt and Isaac and Side Stitch.

These are the only brands I purchase here and I've been purchasing much less because of sizing issues that meant the hassle of returns.

It didn't hang as it should, it fit her body all the way down.I don't care what she pretends, no way does she wear a size 8 in pants. I always wore a size 8 and I'm sure she does not. she constantly is pulling at her clothes.hey JT your not small anymore, learn to live with it. We all grow after babies and menapause.

@ChillyTulipOf course the model looked great, that's why designers use models that are 6 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds. They are human hangers, and everything looks good on them.

She had plenty of room in that small size. We cant help how our bodies are shaped.It is going to look different on different body types, and height also changes how a garment looks on us.

Body shaming is not OK, the comment about her stomach is not necessary. If it doesn't bother her then it shouldn't bother you.

@HLPSince QVC has vanity sizing we all fit into a smaller size using their size method.

If the hosts are going to reveal their size they should be truthful. It does make it confusing when they say they’re in an xs. It just can’t be true. We should always go by the size chart I guess….

Amy Strain is obsessed about size. What they should be saying look at the garment measurements so you get the correct size. Then refer to the models and see how it looks on them.

I wear a small or an extra small on top but big busted so not all tops in those sizes look good on me. Everybody has a different shape and built. Not all things look good on all women the same size.

I often think how could that host be in that size and it must run big.

Completely agree with you , Carolyn who I like watching always say I'M in my regular size LARGE,once again I find myself talking back to television saying think you would look so much better in an XL maybe not in all brands but most, I just wish before she goes on air she would try XL .I wouldn't care what size the tag said I would just want myself to look good.

I think Carolyn often wears what fits in her shoulders -- but then it's too tight in her torso and tummy. I have narrow shoulders and a tummy, so I understand. She (and I) need more a-line styles, or (as I do) go up to fit my bust and waist/tummy. I prefer a looser fit anyway because I don't want anything accentuating my tummy! 😁

@Luvsmyfam I don't generally watch friya (just typing it makes me crazy), but I did see Jane sometime this week wearing a dress that was too tight and she said she was in a small. I do not necessarily think that is her actual size, but I do think that might have been the only size available to her; and, that might be why she says she is in a small, because she is.

I do not pay attention to their sizes as I check the online guide for each item that I might purchase. Then, I read any reviews that are available, and I also look at how the clothes fit on the models. Sometimes I just get a feeling that I should go up or down a size and that usually works. It is definitely hard when there is no consistency in sizing.
