Does Lori Goldstein do anything but the hi-low/shark bite tops? It seems she has only one style and she makes it in different colors/fabrics. Does she have a line outside of QVC or is it more like Denim & Co.?

I have never seen anything but the same old same old from her. Her stuff looks like she gets a shipment of material that other designers discarded and then proceeds to make clothes with their leftovers. Everything has multiple materials, colors etc. she can't just keep things simple.

When she first came to the Q she had lots of really nice and interesting pieces. I have a brocade jacket from her first collection that's truly fabulous and a ruffled handbag too. I don't really know when she because the queen of t-shirt couture but early on, very different. Couldn't find the number for my brocade jacket but here are two other early items from LOGO:

Miss Lori is going to be in big trouble when the bag lady look becomes passé, which could happen any moment.

I was thinking the same thing. Bag lady out then what?

If you have time, look at her line on qvc.com....Make sure to look at the videos, too, for ideas of how to wear her things....Yes, she does a lot of sharkbite hems, but she does do other straight hem things, often with gorgeous lace....The fun part about the sharkbite hems, though, is that it allows her tank tops to show through at the bottom. I tend to be too warm, so I love her cotton tank tops in the summer. Her style isn't for everyone, but I work in the arts and travel a lot, so I really love her clothes. I just keep it much simpler than she does on the shows, but she inspires me to be a bit more creative with colors than I normally would.

I have to admit I think her colors are beautiful. Her different hues seem to be the same value which makes them blend beautifully, even colors that don't normally go together. That's about all I like, however.

I'm not a fan of her clothes...I don't know too many gals who could pull the quirky artsy look off...

A223698 is still for sale and on clearance, and reminds me of one of the jackets in a photo posted above. It doesn't have an asymmetrical hem either.

Just got the 8/1 TSV in Marlot, UGLY. Going back.

She designs (or has designed) many upper end items (=expensive) that don't have the asymetrical hems and she does have a good eye for textures as well as color. I don't layer, can't stand it, but I've purchased a couple of her vests and have one cardigan that I find flattering and unusual. But that's pretty much it for me. I like slightly funky and edgy things but don't like messy and consider all the hems and layers look messy to me.

Her vision is popular right now, but like all things in fashion, it will pass and when we drag these clothes out of the closet in ten years they will look typically 2015.... like al those fashions from the 60's, 70's and 80's etc.....

This too will pass....

@qvcaddition What didn't you like about it? Just wondering whether it was the faux suede, because that's what I didn't like about it.

qvcaddition — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:24:27 GMT

I am average size medium. FIve six, 138 lbs. It made me look dowdy. The material, not the sleeves, looked like a sofa pattern of back in the day. The sleeves did not look like faux suade, just cotton. The color to me more Brown. Even if I went small, to me top was ugly. It got great reviews though.

I have two snub tops, three vests, one sweater. I like them, but very thin and the material seems to grow. I want to like her stuff, but, enough. I usually get compliments when I dress, never with her items, just stares.

MacDUFF — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 16:47:05 GMT

Years ago, I ordered one of her tops in 2 different sizes (med was too clingy, large was too baggy)...it was a muddy brown and chintzy, flimsy material, so it went back and I never ordered anything else.

However, it did give me an idea...I took an old, approx $12 pima cotton long sleeve crew neck t-shirt that I purchased from Kohl's and bought 3 or 4 inches of mesh from the fabric store (maybe $3-$5) and had my tailor sew it on the bottom of the tee...she charged something like $7 to $10. So for around $25, I had exactly what I wanted in the LOGO look in a pima cotton (which, again, was old at the time I did this) and the exact length I needed. I've since done several of these pima t's from Kohl's using different material for a border...chiffon, for example. I still have them and wear them.

QVC Addict.

I was going to purchase that same color! I abstained on Saturday because LORI failed to give us any clue what sizes she or the models were wearing. I WOULD HAVE ORDERED the wrong size according to her suggestion to "order up" when one caller asked. Therefore another $10 wasted.

I'm done with clothing on the Q.

I got my TSV in bittersweet and thought the same thing, sent it back too.

I just got my TSV in the light gray heather and I just love it! Love the very stretchy gray sleeves. I went down a size (XXS) and it fits perfectly. I won't be layering this the way Lori does. Looks super cute zipped up as a top and worn over skinny jeans. Just a perfect little fall top.

Some LOGO items are very nice. I just cannot get over the prices!! I can't believe they get away with selling items for $50-$60. I would buy a lot more items if the tops were in the $30s (which is where they should be!) .

What also gets me is that they keep saying Lori is a famous stylist? Isn't a stylist different from a designer? They keep equating the two and they are not the same thing!! I've never heard of her before she was on QVC. Her name doesn't justify those prices.

@CorrTor If you Google her, you'll see she is quite well known.

As for the prices, please check in the Fashion forum something I posted yesterday (8/6) -- my opinion on a striped top I ordered from her show on 8/3. In fact, the thread title is about the LOGO 8/3 and I ask if anyone ordered anything. The stripe tops are fabulous and soooo worth the money, both for their really cute style and the marvelous fabric used that is oh-so-soft-and-comfy. I'd rather have one of those tops (actually I bought two) at the price I paid than several cheaper tops that aren't nearly as fashionable nor comfortable to wear. They are so worth the price - you'll be paid back in compliments!
