Quaker Factory Shows

Gertie524 — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 01:01:58 GMT

Just wanted someone else's opinion. It seems that Angel spends so much time telling us what, when,how and what colors go with what. I've been dressing myself for a long time and, I think doing a good job. She should use her time selling. I don't want anyone to think I'm being nasty cause I'm not. Just wanted to know if anyone sees this,too

I don't understand what more she could do. She tries to give people ideas, they are one of the few who tell if it is all cotton, has some spandex, the length, etc.

I enjoy her shows way more than some of the other items. I find them interesting and informative.

I'm not especially a fan of anyone. I'm just saying I think she does a good job.

I can't stand the way Rick just about jumps through the screen trying to sell things. I change the channel right away.

I have been asked if I wanted to talk several times when he's been on. I always say no. Same with a few of the others. I buy quite a few things from QVC but I doubt that anyone is interested in hearing me talking on the TV telling them why I buy the stuff.

I appreciate when she speaks thoroughly about the items. I would rather see that than the lack of information and silliness that is happening at QVC Plus on the Wed. nights program.

I know someone that only buys one color because she says she does not know what goes together. So she should watch and get ideas. Only thing if she does not think it looks right she won't buy it.

She is selling when she does this. If she says "Look at this color with the blue!" someone might buy both of those items because they do look good together. She's not trying to tell you how to dress, she's selling.

I also appreciate when she says, the blue in this top is not the same as the blue in the dream jeannes so it's not an exact match, but it could work tonally. Good to know it's not an exact match in color. I think her color descriptions are very good and helpful and she's honest when something isn't quite a match which I appreciate. I think Angel does a very good job. I could do without all the eating / food on air (Jeanne used to do even more than that) and I think there's less of it since Angel started losing weight) and all that dancie/kicking stuff she does but I have no real complaints about her presentations.

@Gertie524

You are also probably aware that colors can look different depending on your television and/or how the broadcast is being sent. That's another reason Angel is doing a good job because she has the benefit of seeing it live and in person. She's not telling you how to dress; she is showing you how the colors actually are. Then you have the information you need to make up your own mind.

Not a QF fan, but I did notice they had Meredith the petite model on today. I guess they want the petite women to know we can wear their short version even if it isn't cut for a petite. I would have liked to see where the waist hit Meredith or if she had to roll the waist to get the jeans to fit in the rise.

Well then, you've got no problem. For anyone who likes suggestions of which colors go with which others, she's doing them a service.

I agree with some others that it's not that easy to judge the colors from the TV. They don't always come across accurately. Angel knows the line extremely well and she takes the trouble to point out color variances; also features of the items (pockets or not, fit, fabric).

What else do you expect her to do? So, no, I guess I don't "see" your point. She is selling!

It is hard for me to see the colors in the embroidered tops and I have a 60" TV. I like when she pulls out a pair of pants and you can see how it 'goes' with a certain color. I also agree with the other posters.... I want to know if the blue top is the same color as the blue pants. She does a wonderful job selling Quaker Factory and I enjoy watching her unless she is with Albany. Then I think they just get too silly.

I don't get into all the sequin stuff. I did buy the nautical sweater.

Angel is one of the most likeable venders they have. I will probably never buy a QF item (you never know . . .), but I enjoy watching QF shows. She has a nice way of presenting herself and explains the items well (IMO). Even when she upsells.

Re: Quaker Factory Shows

Angel does a nice job.

She is a sweety. The information she supplies us I am sure is helpful to some.

I also do not own any QF items, but like watching her.

I bought a pair of her "short" jeggings. The ones with the rhinestone zipper at the bottom. If you're a real petite, you'll find it doesn't work with the crotch too long and rear long. The waist comes almost half way up to your bra. Also, they get bigger as the day goes on. The only time they fit nicely is right out of the drier for about l/2 hour.

They probably work well if you're just short.

I really think the OP knows that and just wrote an inadvertent typo.

If anyone has been watching QVC for a long time, you know that today at least it's improved over the way tall models used to wear pants that most viewers assumed the models had pulled lower so the hems would at least get close to their ankles. But then the pants looked saggy in the crotch area. And in those days, all the models had to wear high heels, with everything. I'm glad those days are over.

I can answer that. Yes, you have to roll the waist on QF's short pants. They do nothing but give you a shorter pant. Your rise, your length from hip to knee and knee to ankle will be the same as regular.

Angel has explained many times, Jeannie said she was not petite, she was short. That is why no Petites.
