Just saw this show on the guide tonight. Host did provide the inseams on the ponte pants , but I didn't catch the lehgth of the knit dress . Alot of laughing and DB had alot of excitment of being back in studio tonight ,

Wish they posted on air some of the garment measurements as they did back in the day . They try to say " order your usual QVC "size but this does not always work . Also watch dress lengths as they vary

Just commented on this subject on another thread in here. Unfortunately, less and less about the garment is discussed, especially when hosts are paired together. Sure, you could go online to get more details, but why should you have to? It's the host's or hosts' job to give all the details.

These days I feel it's a waste of time to even watch the video. They don't describe any of the details, but most importantly, an accurate description of the fabric. Is it light heavy, how does it feel? All The hosts can say is, you've got to get it, it's gorgeous, you can wear it out to lunch with your friends, blah blah blah

So far all the "fashion forward Fall clothing" is no different from years past. So tired of messed up jeans, crooked hemlines, cropped pants (in winter?!?!), lounge clothing, jeggings, leggings, ...looks like I might be shopping in my closet alot this year!!

Remember when they use to tote their measuring tape for clothing and rulers for jewelry?

@CalminHeart and don't ever forget that it would also interfere with what prompts sales. Years ago when I watched more, I remember Jeanne Bice telling the host to skip the numbers. She insisted they were boring, but I suspect she also had knowledge of what pushed sales. Like it or not, plenty of the Q's TV buyers tune in just for that personal touch. I hear that frequently from callers, but not a day goes by that right here in the Forum someone doesn't ask about a host's personal life or comment on it.

Even during my first few years watching QVC before the Internet, I bought almost no clothes - no matter who the host was. Until I'm desperate, I'm highly unlikely to buy more from QVC no matter what the hosts talk about.

If they don't describe the item and suggest going to the website, why have the TV presentation at all? I don't understand. I've felt for quite awhile QVC and all the shopping channels should just become online retailers. Why not???

I watched the D&C repeat show this morning with Kerstin, one of the hosts I just don't care for and usually do not watch, but I wanted to see what they were offering. She proceeded to talk about all kinds of personal stuff, i.e., why she loves summer, doesn't like autumn although her daughter does, etc., etc., but not much about the actual clothing presented. Gary even seemed to be speechless, he seems to like to talk about the offerings. I understand we can look online and get the information but am thinking there's not a lot of reasons to even be on the TV any longer. I'm not interested in the hosts or their lives or their silly banter. I even had to look up how to spell "Kerstin". The reason I've always shopped the Q for clothing is that they used to explain the actual size, fabric, etc., something that most online stores do not. I'm a bit disappointed and am wondering if I'll see the end of TV shopping one day soon.

Disenchantment and disappointment could be showing up in latest customer count declines:

As of 6-30-2023 total QxH customer count down 12.8%

Existing customers: down 13.7%

These days I shop mostly from Items Recently on Air. But truth be told, not doing much buying.

Interesting but not surprising. Us older folks are either dying off or can't afford the prices. I wonder if anyone under the age of 50 is buying anything from shopping channels.

This complaint has been repeated and repeated and repeated....and the chit chat shows continue and get worse. They obviously don't care. The hosts act like they're doing a talk show starring themselves. Heck with the merchandise. I actually heard Kerstin say "who cares?" when a co-host asked something about the item being sold. Plenty of talk shows around and with more talented hosts if I want one.

I'm done with commenting and complaining about something that will not change. Who cares?

That's where they are headed! They are slowly morphing into online retailers with lots of "fun" programming all over social media. That's why there is so much emphasis on the hosts, their families, vacations etc. Personalities draw younger shoppers in, younger shoppers actually but stuff. In 10 years, tv shopping as we know it won't exist.

I never hear the inseam on pants, and that is all I want to know. So if some one told the inseam I'm shocked.
