Recent maxi TS from HSN

Tinkerbell3 — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:15:07 GMT

I'm not an HSN shopper, but was interested in the maxi after I read about the TS on this forum- I had previously ordered another maxi (different designer) TS a few weeks back which I kept. This was my 2nd clothing purchase and my last! During the presentations, the maxi looked adorable and I loved the pleating down the front. It arrived today in a massive ball and smelled horrendous (sound familiar?)- To iron this would take an hour! I'm not willing to accept merchandise that arrives this way. It's so disrespectful to the customer.

was this the pleated one? I just so loved the colors but didn't have a place to where it.

Uh oh. I ordered one in black, but have not received it. Doesn't sound good.

I was reluctant, but I noted it was mostly rayon and I like the drape of that fabric. I've had all rayon clothing in the past and it washed up so nice.

I'm hoping this won't look like a shop rag when I get it!

I received my neutral striped, it too is wrinkled. However I am taking for hemming and they can press it. I'm leaving the tag in otherwise, I'd through it in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet to dewrinkle.

Loved the design but none of the color palettes "spoke" to me. I have come to love dresses, especially maxis, now that I'm retired. I look forward to all your posts on this one. I am awaiting the Colleen Lopez Seaside Escapes maxi in black. The one thing I can say FOR HSN is that I haven't waited long for anything I've ordered on waitlist!

This type of fabric is SO easy to take care of. Like Mustangshar said--I just throw anything I have like this in the dryer for a few minutes with a softener and it comes out perfect. If I liked it otherwise, I wouldn't let wrinkles deter me from keeping the item!

I would never let wrinkles deter me either. Its kinda ridiculous to think something being shipped to you will come wrinkle free. Just saying.

My two should be out for delivery so I will let you know later today. I got the sunny yellow and the coral.

Just a thought. I would try throwing it in the dryer set on low with a damp towel for five minutes or so. Then take it out and hang it immediately. That should take out any wrinkles.

I'm dying to get mine but they went to Maine by mistake via FedEx.

Oh no, I am waiting for my dress. I ordered the neutral stripe. I returned the Nikki Poulos TS maxie, it was very heavy.

It's not just HSN. I received a Joan Rivers jacket from QVC yesterday. It arrived in a ball at the bottom of a plastic bag that was muddy and looked like it fell off the UPS truck and got run over! I thought, "this is what I paid almost $7 in shipping charges for"?

I was thinking the same thing. I'd either throw it in the dryer to get the wrinkles out or spray some Downy Wrinkle Release on it.

I received my coral and yellow a couple of hours ago and I must say they are a perfect fit. I could not be more pleased. The colors were a bit of a surprise to me though. I watched the presentations on two different televisions because I know that yellow can be a tricky color to wear. I thought it would be more of a sunshine yellow, but this dress seems to have a little green undertone. (Think mustard). I was a little worried until I tried it on, but then discovered that the color works well with my fair skin tone. I think they are both keepers and only wish I had ordered the ivory before it sold out early in the day. Hope everyone loves their dress - - mine are hanging right now to let the wrinkles fall out. OP is right - - they do have a funky smell, so I might wash them before I wear them out.

My neutral stripe should be delivered today or tomorrow. This color combo really caught my attention. I can't wait to receive it! I will wash it before I wear it as I do with all clothing items.

I got my Neutral dress and it fits true to size. I like it and I like the matching cardi I bought. I actually bought 5 Hot in Hollywood items and love them all. She is great!

If it has an odor, wash the dress. If the odor remains, then ship it back. Wrinkles are easily steamed out using a hand held steamer and the article of clothing hung on a hanger.
