And why is most everything GILI sleeveless? I get it, Lisa has great arms, but jeez, can we have some sleeves for fall/winter, please? A top like this isn't meant to have a jacket worn over it - at least I don't think so, except for outerwear - so shouldn't it have sleeves?

Color me confused.

Over priced and not that attractive!! I like the waist definition, but why are designers so focused on placing extra materiel on the rear?? That look is not a good one on most people...even makes Lisa look large in that area!!

I like the way it looks on Lisa ... but it wouldn't work for me.

Since I wouldn't buy it anyway... price is immaterial.

Ridiculous and yes overpriced. I don't need a bustle on my butt. Good heavens.

and no desire to buy any of her GILI stuff anymore, the quality is, for the most part, inferior.

@ $75, how can it be called over priced? I pay that for button down shirts at Chico's. How can any clothing item be over priced at $75? Have you seen what's in the nicer deparment stores and boutiques? Where do people shop anyway? Not to say that this top appeals to me. Nice color and I like the length. But it's sleeveless, I don't wear sleevless tops. I do like some of the tops with longer lengths in the back but this one doesn't look like it would flatter a woman with some junk in her trunk. The front is so much shorter than the back.

I like the peplum, shirt mullet look....but the round neckline? That's a tough look to pull off.

$75 is pricy for an unknown brand. Color's pretty, though.

Is Lisa channeling her inner dental hygienist? That is what that top reminds me of-- very 'uniformy'.

Cute top and I'm not sure it's overprice, but the neckline is not my taste at all.

I would not even consider buying this.

$75.00 for that where's the rest of it?

It is a pretty top; I like the color and it looks good on Lisa. However, it would look terrible on me . I really don't like the extra fabric hanging down in the back. I am kind of over the weird hemlines, in general. Time to move on.

I think it is expensive, but I only buy clothes on sale or at TJ Maxx with deep discounts. I think we are all spoiled now by the TJ Maxx's and Kohl's of the world. It also depends on the part of the country you live in too. You can buy a house here for less than a lot of cars cost, so it is all relative.

I think it's really cute and not overpriced. I think so many people think that the clothing on Q should be ""practically free"".

I think the color looks great on Lisa and she looks good from the side view........the front view is unflattering and makes her shoulders look small and unproportioned with the rest of her........and a mock turtleneck that is sleeveless?? where do you wear this and when?? Price seems a little high for the "Q" G.I.L.I line, but not for retail. Lisa I bet if you made this with long sleeves, it would sell really big. Just sayin.....

And don't forget, she's a "beauty expert" too, got to be worth something.

I love mock turlenecks, wear them often. Even in the summer without a jacket, I just like the look. And of course in the cooler months they're perfect under a jacket or sweater. I don't think this top looks good with the pants she's wearing, it blends in too much. But it is cute.

I have to say that I find myself more and more buying fashions from HSN and moving away from QVC. They have a couple of collections that offer high end materials with very good prices (IMAN Platinum being one of them).

I have just returned my QVC leather jacket (TSV a few days ago) and got an IMAN's leather jacket for less and much more modern and "high-end". They actually cannot keep anything from her Platinum collection in stock.

Not happy about it - QVC seems to be driving away the actual designers in lieu of their 'own designers'. They are moving towards offering only apparel that they 'control' like GILI, Denin & Cia, Susan G, and the list goes on... I miss Bradley Bayou, DVF, and the way Linea used to be (real leather, no synthetics..) - and that would be OK if they offered pieces of high quality, well designed, modern, etc... but I do not see that happening.

Cute, but I would wear it in the winter so I would want long sleeves, not sleeveless.
