What size are you wearing??

ncmom — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 14:28:43 GMT

Hosts, Please wear the size that fits you best!! Does it seem that some hosts insist on wearing a size smaller than they normally would? I applaud them for trying different outfits during the show; it’s great to show support for the brand. Watching Denim and Co…Julia has tried several different tops throughout the show which is fun. However, it looks like she’s wearing someone else’s clothes…just too small on her. Just my observation today; I know it’s not earth shattering 😂

It is often not readily available. This doesn't bother me as much as everyone claiming they are an XXXXXXXXXXS. They obviously are not.

@ncmom I was thinking the same thing about Julia. At one presentation, she said "I'm a size 6. I am wearing XS." Which is laughable. I want to say "Julia, there's nothing wrong with being an 8 or a 10 or whatever. Juse don't try to fool us."

Mary Beth and Carolyn were the only ones I believed. They stated their true sizes and looked great in them.

@depglass

Your post made me laugh.

All those claims of miniscule sizing also make me laugh.

I am not sure how I feel. The hosts need to tell us what size the models are wearing. I am not sure that it would fall into their job description as host to inform us of their size. Not necessarily their job to do so, as a host and not a model.

Why can't they put a scale on the stage?

They wear what the stylists put out for them to wear. You aren't buying clothes for the hosts so what difference does it make?

Or maybe send out a poll where people can vote on what size the hosts should wear. 😂

I doubt QVC has every size available on set to fit everyone. They just have to " make do" with what they have.

I have seen people out and about in clothing that is too tight and too big and even have seen people wearing sandals with their toes hanging off the front by an inch or two.

I figure " whatever." I am not the fashion police. People are free to wear whatever size they want to. I let them do them and I do me.

How they dress and what size they wear is none of my business.

I saw the show this morning with Julia and thought the top was too snug.

She said she was wearing a size 6 in the jeans and I just thought she was fudging on that.

You're right about some of the hosts wearing too tight things. Maybe their stylist is pulling the wrong size.

@zitawins I agree with you about Marybeth, but Carolyn was not a large..as she always claimed she was wearing.

IMO, hosts do the garments; themselves & their sales a disservice when they squeeze into a smaller size just because it happens to be on the stage.
Many times I hear hosts say how a certain garment was "pulled" for them in their size (which makes sense), that statement leads me to believe that they aren't obligated to just put on whatever is on the rack randomly.

As it is in retail, smaller sizes are used for display & presentation. If they want to keep changing during their shows, they should arrange to have the garments in their size there.

I was watching Julia with Gary today and she really needs to size up one in the clothing she wears. Does not bode well for selling. She looks kinda messy all the time.

Leah also always wears her real size and things never look too small on her. She is obviously not afraid to share her true size ( large) with us.

Hosts don't have that much power.

I'm sure some posters would like this. Awhile back a couple of posters suggested that the models and hosts should be required to give their measurements when selling clothes. I don't think that would go over too well with HR.

Your question has to be one of the top 5 subjects discussed here.

I'm more likely to ask "What wrong size are you wearing?"

They're not fooling me. If their clothes fit too tightly, they are wearing the wrong size whether they say it's XS or Plus.

MoJoV — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 22:22:16 GMT

Same old saw..hosts wearing clothes too small. I guess it's important to say you're an xxxs and a size under 6. Anyway, the tightness of the clothing makes the item look bad in my opinion. But not many care about my opinion. So go 'head hosts, wear what you think looks good.

No one fudges more on sizing than the "hand-flapper" herself.
