These Marvelush shawl/shrug things....

Another one? I would have rather seen another poncho if they had to do what is basically a rerun.

I don't like the shape of these things at all.

JMO.

If you bought one, I hope you love it.

I don't like how they look from the back.

This is the third TSV this season, I think.

They look sloppy from the back and the front. I like the scarves I got from them last year a two set a rose and a camel color

The TSV isn't a style I can wear, but it doesn't matter - yesterday I saw 91 on my car thermometer, making it easy for me to stick to my determination to wait to shop until spring clothes come in - although I will take a look at the after Christmas sale racks.

I agree @apple1964. I don't like them at all. Not very flattering especially from the back as @brii mentioned. But I hope that anyone who ordered one is happy with the purchase.

I have something similar that they offered last year (and maybe even earlier this year). In fact, I have it in several colors. I like it much, much better than this style. This TSV would add 'tons' to an area where I don't need anything emphasized!!!!!

I'd like to buy one of these bigger oversized shrugs for a gal I know that is 5 ft tall and weighs 250. It would look so much better then the tiny one she wears that is stretched to infinity and meets at the front of her underarm.

Leave those things to the salad and water set. This one that Mary Beth showed this morning was great for the bigger woman.

While I think these look ok, I can't wear anything 100% acrylic. I tried one of these Marvelush things a few years ago and the static cling was just awful.

If someone really wants one of these, they have the same Marvelush on sale on the Q for only $20+ dollars - no difference. Why pay the TSV price? I agree, too much of the same thing!

I have the shrugs, I have two but I don't like them and would never recommend them. They don't stay up on your shoulders, they twist and turn and you are constantly adjusting it every time you get up. I wear mine as a house sweater. But I love the ponchos. I three; black, camel and pink. I wear them over long sleeve tees with slim jeans and boots.

I love the ponchos too. I have two of them.

I just flipped on the Q (folding laundry) and Carolyn was wearing the xl/1x. She decided to show everyone that she could also wear the m/l; well let me tell you, she can't. This thing runs small. The Marvelush lady keeps saying to order your regular size, but Carolyn and the Morning Show duo all sized up for a better fit.

I think it hugs the butt too much. I don't have much butt or hips, but still won't buy one, because of the hugging in the wrong places on the back.

I like these better than the shrugs of several years ago, which looked good on small busted women. They hit you right under 'the girls', and was not a good look for me, who happens to be a little larger in that department. Hides a multitude of sins. I ordered it in the navy.

I saw Carolyn in this TSV and it looked terrible. It looked too small and did nothing to make her look better. I don't like the look or the way it draped in the back. It was not flattering.

Just seeing it now and it is very unflattering! The stores are full of wraps, ponchos and drapey sweaters that are much better looking and at good prices.

This style always makes me think of a bug carapace like a ladybug.

First of all, even if I liked this I think it's horribly overpriced. For as many as QVC will sell, this thing should be in the $20.00 range.

I saw it on my lunch hour on Carolyn. I must have seen it when she put the larger size on because from behind, I thought it looked quite nice. There was nice drape to it on her from behind because she made a point to turn around. However, from the front and sides I didn't care for the way it looked.

I see in the still shot of the model on the homepage, from behind it is much more fitted and somewhat cups the rear-end. I think these are definitely running on the smaller side.

Forgive me, (I'm sure it will look good on others), I'm one (just me) who isn't crazy about anything that doesn't close in the front. Although, on Brenda, on the very first midnight presentation), the sides did seem to match together in the center, more or less. On the other models and hosts, not so much, if at all.

Sorry, but all I can think of with this shrug is the song, "I like big bu#s and I cannot lie."

'The more I'm thinking about it' (them)........As I recall, (from viewing them on their first TSV presentation) they are just way-way too open in the front. I'll have to take a better look later on when I'm more awake (vrs. midnight).
