Kim Gravel Sizing

LuckyA — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 00:20:41 GMT

When Kim Gravel had the TSV last week I bought the dress, and other items. What is wrong with her sizing. It should be explained better The petite was way to long,. I wear XL in all of QVC fashions and these were huge. I also think some of the styles are shapeless and boxy. The are beautiful but for me not sized correctly.. she should explain her sizing b better. All of the items are being returned.. it's a shame.

I agree about her sizing.

After watching her for a while I decided to try a few items. I ordered tops and bottoms in my Q size. I returned all. Many things look cute on the models but just don't work for me either.

I also bought 2 TSV dresses. They were huge and returned. I've worn her clothes before but lately they seem large and boxy.

I think her tops run large and most of the neck lines are too wide/open for me. I usually size down if it's one I like.

The best way to judge whether something will fit is to compare the actual garment measurements, found at the end of the text describing the garment, with something from your closet that fits well and that you've measured.

I find that many of QVC's petites are too long. I'm 5' 4".

Agree @LuckyA . I ordered it, but then I saw that Shawn was wearing XXS, so I knew it was running very large... So I cancelled. You are right, they should really discuss sizing trends better during the presentation!!
I find her clothes often run large, so I carefully look at the garment measurements-

I rarely have a problem with her clothes, but never purchased a dress. So sorry, because she did say on multiple presentations to order your normal QVC size. I also try to check the garment measurements but still they don't always fit and have to return. Just my thought but I think it's across the boards on all brands.

Interesting post because I like her styles but I am short and she rarely offers Petites. I have sent too many tops back as they run bigger than other qvc sizing brands In Susan Graver, Isaac, and Denim and Co. I wear a Small.. In Kim's tops a small is a little bigger. Regular tops are too long in body and sleeve length. I will not order anymore in her line unless it comes in Petite.

I ordered a swim suit and sized up 1 size, as Kim recommends. When I received it, it was the wrong size (a size bigger) and still didin't fit! I've gotten 2 of her cotton slub dresses and they fit great, but I had no luck with the swim suit at all.

I agree about her sizing. I can never get a good fit. Her tops are to small and the next size way to big. Her pants for me run big. I dont get it. I dont have this problem with any other vendor. AND, I love her clothes!!

I size up for KG's tops. My regular size, XL, will fit but I like a little extra room. I gave up on KG's bottoms. Flexibelles were too tight, even if I sized up one. I ordered different bottoms which were "silky" (like a Susan Graver liquid knit) and they didn't fit, even sizing up and down.

Her line is definitely on the large side, I always go by the actual measurements on the garment and usually go down 1-2 sizes on Kim Gravel items and the they fit perfectly. Definitely utilize " click here" measurements at end of description and you'll get a perfect fit!

Her sizing has changed, I bought leggings a couple of years ago, they fit perfectly. I bought some this year, they were huge and went back. I bet I have spent $50 in returns this year, so I am now really cautious about what I order.

@Catch71 I agree. I'm tired of sending items back. Until she offers tops in petite sizes I will not order. I have commented on her chat many times and no response. I guess she is making so much money there is no need to respond. I know I can purchase petite's elsewhere but almost every other line offers some petites.

Swimsuits are the hardest thing to fit. Today I mailed an Isaac suit and 2 denim and company suits. Hate wasting all that money returning. When I am exposing that much skin, it has to fit just right or Im not wearing it.

Very rude of her not to respond at all.
