SKINNYTEES TSV

Why did they only offer the 'skinnytees in OS and not offer it to the plus sizes? They do on a daily basis, but not on TSV. They are losing alot of money by just offering it to the smaller sizes. Also, when they offer earrings for pierced ears only for TSV. They need to be more inclusive.

They say one size fits all... they stretch like crazy.

I would have been thrilled to buy multiple sets if the plus size was available. A work colleague who is about my size wears the regular one size fits most, and they look horrid on her. Way too tight with all rolls showing. We are both a size 14-16.

I agree-were is the plus size. I wear a ex-large in QVC sizing but because of my build I have to wear a plus in skinnytees. I would have gotten several of the sets if in a plus.

I agree. I wear a medium or large, depending on the style but I need a plus size in skinny tees. I would have bought two sets. In the video, Coleen, who is thin, was covering her mid section because the tee was so snug.

If the size already exists at the q, it should be included in TSVs. Seems odd it's not, since its been done before.

I don't think they would look very good on me...even if they offered larger sizes....too tight looking. If I ordered one larger.... it would be looser in the waist area...but I am sure it would be too big on top.

Here's my skinnytee story (and I'm sticking to it lol)...

I bought the white (single) tank and really liked it...surprise surprise it stayed put and a o-s missy fit perfectly (as an under garment...I would never wear these without something covering).

So I feel confident and brave and I order the 2-fer o-s missy first checking to make sure the fabric content is the same and it is...surprise surprise the black one (the one I wanted) rode up.

Feeling less confident and having that nagging suspicion in the back of my mind (you know what I mean LOL), I order the 3/4 sleeve. Same fabric content. Surprise surprise the fabric is heavier, scratchier, and it rode up. Not only that, I ordered the 1 plus size due to reviews and it was very tight...much tighter than the 1st white o-s missy tank.

The question I asked myself was, "why do I think the next thing I order from the Q will be the exception to their inconsistent sizes and grades of fabric?" I feel soooooo stoooooopid.

I LOVE Skinnytees and I am not a skinny-minnie by a long shot. They are not meant to fit like a tank top or t-shirt, or even like a camisole. If you see someone wearing one that shows all their rolls and bumps, it's because they are wearing it for the wrong fashion reason. Even if you are a size 4, you will see back flab (and sometimes a little waist roll) because these are meant to be the equivalent of skin-tight leggings. Very close fit to the body, so they are best as a layering item. Carolyn Gracie has layered two on today, under her cardigan. Perfect. That's exactly how I wear mine, or like Jackie the model had on, with short jacket over it. In the spring I love them under my thin tunics or lower cut tops. I cannot imagine seeing anyone wear one on its own with nothing over top (perhaps very thin under- 25-year-olds aside).

One size does NOT fit all in these. That is just impossible especially with this kind of garment. Some women are small enough that they would be able to get away with just wearing one of these as a tank top. Jennifer Coffey posted a photo of herself once before in a skinnytee and pair of yoga pants. She looked great.

The last time they had a skinnytee TSV and offered a plus size version, a few of the larger hosts even commented that they were excited about the plus size version because they couldn't wear the previous O-S version. And these are hosts who have said they are a size large when presenting fashion shows.

Regardless, I don't want any garment that is so tight it shows all lumps, bumps and bulges. Unless you have a large, flowy top over it, or something super thick and heavy, those exaggerated lumps are going to show through whatever top you have on over the skinnytee.

I saw Colleen on the TSV presentation too. They showed a close up of Colleen and I could see her tummy bulge. She pulled her shirt shut so you could not see how skin tight, the tee was fitting. I can just imagine what my bulges would look like, if it was that noticable a a very thin model.

@Trudey ... I too would size up in this type of tee.

There is no such thing as one size fits all/most. I will pass on this TSV ...

The ONLY place I might consider wearing them on their own would be two at a time to yoga. Because, of course, there is no judgment allowed in yoga!

They do stretch but mine also roll up. I have to tuck them into pants so they will lay flat. I'm pretty much an XL in everything and I think they are really too snug.

I noticed Collen had some lumps/bumps also....i don't think going up in size with the skinny tees would work......because i think they would do the same kind of tight fitting style as the One Size ones do...i think they don't show or have them in the larger sizes is because they don't really want to show them on larger sizes like myself. I am a XL or 1X and i wouldn't want to wear anyting so clinging........i think they may be great tops for under sheer tops and used a mainly a modesty item. As a tank under a cardigan or jacket, it showed lumps and bumps even on the smaller women....

Actually, they say "one size fits most." I imagine they don't fit the 1X-3X sizes.

I"m a 4 in QVC sizes. Skinnytees are too tight for me. I used to like them, but I actually think they are too constricting.

I'm 130 lbs, 38D. I like them but they are tight on me. Would not fit if you wear a much larger size.

I am a medium, 8-10, and work out like crazy. I don't have a lot of bulges or rolls, and I don't find the skinny tees attractive. I have a set, but always wear them with a layer on top - BUTTONED UP!!!

I actually prefer the Ts from Target - lots of nice colors and sometimes just $5 each! They don't cling like skiny tees do, in my experience.

I'm not understanding comments about the middle showing. The models were only doing it to show the top. I wear these a lot, and it's usually only the bottom that shows, and how much depends on where I place it. And, it stays put! Love these tanks. Perfect for my shorter tops I still want to wear. If it weren't for these tees I would have to toss those tops.
