I wore a Bob mackie sweater to church today. A254141. It got a couple compliments during coffee hour and one friend who knows i shop QVC as she also does - asked me if it was a Bob Mackie sweater. She said he is always so cheerful and pleasant to watch and his designs always make me feel lighthearted. I have to totally agree with her. I always loved his designs on Carol Burnett show and way back when he did designs for Sony and Cher's TV show. Of course , he can be outrageous with Cher and she just pulls anything off perfectly.

I used to own the Bob Mackie fleece jacket that is dark green and has fall colored leaves embroidered all down one sleeve and across the front. When we were moving to Fl I had a bunch of winter clothes I was giving away and several of my friends said they wanted that jacket. We had to have them pull straws for it.

I love Bob, but think he is better as a costume designer.

Agree. Master at costumes. I do own one of his tops, but the rest still look "printed on" to me. He is a doll and I enjoy watching him.

I think he is the epitome of gentleman.

My mother had a number of his less busy QVC tops and solid bottoms. They were well made for the price.

i used to have a red cotton long sleeve blouse of his that had a ribbon design embroidered around the collar in black and white - it was so pretty. I wore that blouse so much I actually wore it out.And now that i don't have it anymore I do miss it.

His clothing is very good quality.

There's one top of his that I see fairly often on women, especially down in AZ. It's striped and has a smallish flower on one shoulder. I enjoy watching him.

I forgot to mention I had that green one with the fall leaves. I lost weight and had to donate it.

I love Bob Mackie as well. I have quite a few of his older pieces...they are distinctive, well made and I always receive compliments. I love his sense of whimsy with class, both in his designs as well as how he approaches life.

I have several of Bob's items...many are from past years. I like his sense of style and his clothing is well made. The Bob clothes I own are not trendy - they are very handsome, sensible and can be worn forever! I do not like clothes that are "too" gimmicky - too blingy, too many color combinations or too many decorations. I really like seeing Bob's presentations! He is knowledgeable, funny and tells great stories of past dresigns for well known celebrities!

No one does color better than Bob. That's the primary reason I love his clothing.

My girlfriend bought several of the short sleeved tees with the pretty flowers on them. They are very cute in the summer with casual bottoms.

that is SO TRUE kachina! so many brilliant shades!

i really miss his scarves on qvc. he hardly does them anymore. they were true works of art.....if you didnt want to wear them they could easily be framed or displayed. they could make an all black outfit really stand out.

I had a few of his outfits when I was teaching. It's been dozen or more years since I purchased from this line. Some of the things offered are similar to items I purchased way back when.

I always enjoyed watching Mr. Mackie.

Love his tee shirts and pants. Comfortable but different.
