Huh???

Tinkerbell3 — Mon, 19 May 2014 05:15:59 GMT

I'm a little perplexed by QVC'S choice today..........No "designer" TSV.... Instead, a terry skort by D&C ...on a "fashion" day !!! Hmm..... Too bad!

Re: Huh???

IMO that is one of the worst D&C items I have seen. I mean the TSV. As for the stripped shirt they are now showing the price is crazy. With s/h it will be about $38. What are they thinking.I have seen enough. Now I will turn the channel before someone tells me to do so.

Have to agree. French terry in the upcoming heat...the 90's and over 100 degrees! French terry... in shorts then an additional panel! That should be good and cool!

I ordered a similar french terry skort ..... and it was as hot as all blazes ...... no way I could wear that on a summer day! I sent it back.

Really? This looks like a boys t-shirt that you find in a bargain bin at Woolworths/KMart (it's actually much worse in person= video)- This line baffles me- SOOO outdated, cheap looking and just....yuck!

why does almost everything have embroidery on it? also, why are t-shirts so high cut on qvc. would a more plunging neckline kill them?

Nothing special about D & Co, imo.

Fashion Days are not Designer Days....

I saw this shirt in turquoise on Rachel Boesing on the morning show a couple of weeks ago--she was wearing it with the khaki How Smooth Capris, and it was a perfect match. It looked so cute on her, I bought both pieces. With some turquoise jewelry, and maybe some turquoise wedge sandals, I thought it would be a good-looking outfit. And I was right! It looks totally different in person than it does in this picture or on some of the models. It is very flattering in the fit, looks nothing like a boy's t-shirt from the bargain bin, it is not outdated (you see these striped shirts all over the place), not cheap looking, and not "yuck"! In fact, I tried it on for a real "fashionista" friend of mine, and she loved it!

So sometimes you just have to take a chance and hope it works out. I guess the main reason I bought it was because it looked so nice on Rachel, otherwise, maybe not. But I'm glad I did. I know a lot of people "look down" on Denim & Co, and I don't like everything they do, but then I don't like everything in anyone's line. I've found some really cute things, including the How Smooth jeans line, and their jean jackets are made and priced better than much of what is out there. This is certainly a better looking outfit than some of the totally outrageous, over the top prints and styles I see from some of the other REAL(?) "designers" on QVC. JMHO...

I agree with you. Last night, Susan Graver brought in a edgy/kinda sexy top, and it sold out in a few minutes-5,000 of them! It would probably be a good idea to bring more of this type of option in for fashion.

Joe Zee was on earlier with this cute printed top. I know he's just a stylist, but he seems to have great design sense, and knows how to dress a woman. I love a soft blush/pink color for spring, and the lace print is gorgeous. It also comes in a matching skirt, and that print on print look is really trending right now if you like that sort of thing.

As for the D&C skort, I like the idea of a skort, but that french terry fabric makes it totally loungewear and matronly. I wish there was a more classed up skort out there, something in like a great cotton stretch sateen.

Denim & Co. is often the TSV on Fashion Day; no big surprise there. Not something that interests me, however.

Totally agree - the french terry fabric doesn't work for me. I love sateen, it's great in the summer and holds up so well. Wish they offered it.

What designer would they use for a summer fashion day anyway?

They save the high class ones for fall fashion day or fashion week.

BTW whatever happened to Marc Bouwer or Pamela Dennis?

I thought that man said they were incorporating Sport Savvy

with D&Co? I haven't seen any sign of that yet.

If I don't like something on QVC, I don't scout the boards to see how many threads I can get on to put down what I don't like. I just don't bother with any of it. I do like some of what Denim & Co puts out, as apparently thousands of others do. I like "some" of what most of the designers have, and wouldn't be caught dead in some of it. I don't like Women with Control, but I have never posted on a thread about Women with Control just to say how much I don't like it.

I guess I'm on the wrong thread, because I also find Gary informative and somewhat charming.

Have a nice day, everyone! Maybe you can find something you do like-apparently a couple of you have.

I own a lot of D&C, but do not care for the TSV. Seems like it would be too hot for the summer. And I was surprised at the programming list today....no Quacker Factory or Susan Graver? That's a first I think, at least for SG. But I'm sure she's having a nice time in London seeking the newest fashion trends......PLEASE bring some back with you.

This event was not advertised as a designer day so I have no idea why posters are up in arms about the brands featured today

Re: Huh???

chrystaltree — Mon, 19 May 2014 15:55:24 GMT

No one designed todays TSV skort???? Really? Someone just closed their eyes and wished into existence...???
