A627202 QVC, Please explain

ellaphant — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 19:34:03 GMT

Why does a XXS shirt have a 40" chest? Again, too big. Another sale lost.

Did you look at the picture of the item? If so you'll see it is a very full, pleated/gathered type of top. You will also see that every bust size is larger for that same reason, in other words it appears to have a very good reason to have those measurements.

Some item styles are oversized and described as such. Those styles will have larger measurements. I happen to like some tops like that.

No. there is no reason an xxx should be 40". Ive seen other tops also 40" in xxs. I'm petite and weigh 105. That chest size is huge.

The fabric is woven with very little stretch which means you need the extra room for easy of wearing and comfort. Otherwise it might feel restricting.

I like.all cotton. Most stretch fabric is hot. 40" is ridiculous for something called xxs.

It's actually pretty common for that style. Check Free People and Anthropologie, a lot of their smallest sizes are oversized and flowy.

I once bought a terry robe from ShopNBC (or whatever they were calling the place at the time)...and I had the same thing happen..."small" was actually 46 inches wide at the bust.

I cut the thing up...and used it as car-washing rags.......

I always look at mesurements and if they seem off to me I pass. Sometimes I will take a chance. I read the reviews and not many talk about the size being too big on them. Some like the garment and some don't. Good price but an easy pass for me.

songbird — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 00:50:09 GMT

I didn't see that. I'm a XXS and 40" chest is just way.....too big. For tops, I always check the chest measurement. Even though XXS always seems to fit. But if the chest says that, I just don't buy. Somtimes if they say 33" chest I go up to XS. But even that seems to ge too big. I don't have a big chest, and I hate tight tops.

Bust measurement is always larger than a person's bust size. I've notice 8" is fairly common in shirts, especially fuller designs.

I looked at the video. It is not oversized and the measurements seem to be off. Rachel the host is wearing an XS. It also has a lot of spandex in it. It is possible there is an error in the measuremebts.

Peace Love Workd makes a lot of oversized tops. I'm a Q XXS and rarely can wear her clothes in that size as they swallow me up

@ellaphant where did you see the XXS shirt having a 40" chest? These are the measurements I saw:

amyb — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 14:13:18 GMT

I'm a size 2/4, and wonder about the XXS/XS chest measurements, often, myself! QVC's sizing is the hardest of all my online shopping, to nail...tedious to try to figure it out, and so inconsistent both brand to brand, and within a brand! I get that some tops' style are oversized, but not all, some chest measurements are just to big in those small sizes. Imo....and I've looked a LOT of measurements over time here!!

I only get the things I really really want and can figure out my size, and HOPE I'm accurate. I hate returning anything with the ship costs deduction.

@Boehm Collector you must have entered an incorrect item number.

You also listed XXXS.

The size chart below the picture of the item number I listed has an XXS @ 40" chest size

Boehm Collector — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 14:49:23 GMT

@ellaphant I went to item number A627202 as listed in the thread title, I've checked it several times.
