Plus Size Ladies; What Do You Wish For From QVC in Plus Size Fashions

Mindy D — Fri, 08 Jan 2016 00:53:44 GMT

I recently put on a lot of weight. I have been sick and not able to move very well, but my appetite increased from my medication. I wish QVC would carry some of their best sellers in 4X.

I am an XL or 1X in QVC clothing. This topic has come up before. I think when people start writing to them and requesting 4X perhaps they will try it out in certain styles. XXS was never available and now it is in certain makes.

I am sometimes a XL and sometimes a 1X depending on the garment.....what i would wish for is REAL Plus size models.............1X, 2X or 3 X..... and to stop calling models wearing size Large or X Large "plus" models.....and a petite plus size model would be a great also.

@kelsey17 That's exactly how I am! I've complained about not having real plus size models for ages!

They make a big deal about how they sell to everyone, but they only have young models for makeup and the girls are so think in their clothes.

Clothes look very different (or can) when you see a size 18 or 20 versus a size 4 or 6. Same thing with shoes.

I wear a size 10 1/2 but since they don't come in that size I either squeeze into a 10 or flop around in an 11.

A size 11 shoe looks very different than a size 6 or 7 even.

Another thing I'd like to see are rings that are at least a size 11. Many of QVC watchers (myself) are old(er) and I have arthritic fingers and hands. Sometimes it's difficult to get the ring over the knuckle.

I'm just saying offer more of a variety. People don't just gain weight in one area, they gain it everywhere.

QVC you can talk the talk so how's about walkin' the walk! (Wow! Did I just say that?).

I think there should be more plus size models. That really wear the fashions being shown in 1x-3x size. So when they share the size of the clothes the model wears it is accurate to the plus sizing QVC is selling. Also, I wish all the vendors would have to provide all their fashion or shoes in the standard size ranges that are typically sold on QVC. GILI doesn't offer a full size range and some shoes only go to size 10.

I've been watching QVC for over 20 years. Many years ago there was a line called Fashion Formulas. I had several of their pieces. Nice quality, comfortable, knit tops were what I bought from them. As a plus size woman I buy most of my clothing from Woman Within online.

I like the fact that all clothing is available in plus sizes, the good with the bad so to speak. Instead of being limited to the back section of B&M stores, with fabrics that looked like window dressing, I appreciate that I can choose from so many types of garments. Thank you, now I do want more plus size models, not just an Large or XL, but some 1X & 2X and not all tall ones either, lets see some petite 1Xers, we know we are plus size and that we aren't going to some how appear itty bitty, but we can take it -- please give us someone that looks more like us.

IMO - no one who is plus sized wants to be - or should be wearing sausage skin tight clothing. When you look at the QVC size chart and it says a 3x person has 57" hips then you look at the hip measurement on the clothing items and it is 54" or 56" - how ridiculous is that? A few years ago QVC changed their sizing and that is when I went from buying almost all my clothes from QVC to rarely buying any. I would like them to go back to their previous sizing.

I'm an xl, sometimes a 1x now and I love that QVC has any and every style I could possibly want. I was once, many years ago, a 3x and I loved QVC then because I didn't have to shop in Lane Bryant and Roaman's and walk around in the same clothes every other plus size woman was wearing. That is when my QVC addiction started, I was a 3x but I could still be a fashionista.

I am an XL-1X now myself.

I agree that more plus size models would be great.

The other thing I wish for is more/better long pants. I am only 5'8" but I'm all legs so I need a 34 inch inseam, maybe 33 inches. Some of the Qs talls are the right length but they are ALWAYS way, way too high in the rise. They come up to my armpits. Uwearable. I have never had this problem with tall pants at other stores. At Lane Bryant for example, the talls are a little too long and I have to have them hemmed an inch or two and they still come up just to my waist. I have also had luck with the fit at Eddie Bauer. But at both this stores it seems like my size in the talls is so rarely in stock. Would be great to have the Q selection if they fit right...

You will never see 2 or 3X models on QVC. Their aim is not for you to see how you would look in clothing but to sell it. A larger woman simply doesn't show off clothing to its best advantage, so they'll do a token XL or 1X and call her a plus size but that's as big as you're going to get.

QVC really should consider the 4X suggestion. I just read that plus sizes are becoming "the norm". I've noticed that the "oversized" Denim & Co. pieces are the first to sell out.

Although I am not a plus size, I understand why it is important to have some models in the largest sizes sold, it just makes sense to me. HSN has a blonde plus-size model, she looks good!

It's why I like to see Meredith model some things, even though I am several inches taller, we're similarly endowed on top and not all tops look that good. If she looks cute in a top, I know I will, too. Seeing the itty-bitty you-know-what club models wear something doesn't help me at all. I mean, really, what doesn't Katia ever look good in? Well, maybe some SG ankle-biter pants.

I remember when the Q didn't carry a lot of XL. The sizes in most cases went from Large to 1X. But enough of the XL women spoke up and they changed it. Now there is XL in just about everything.

Plus sized ladies keep advocating for yourselves. The rest of us are with you.

Mindy D, just saw your post/thread. Haven't read all the way thru...but while it was on my mind-just wanted to wish you well. Hope you are feeling better and on your way to healthy restoration!

More tall pants w/inseam of 34", dresses at least 45" from top of back to botom of skirt.

If Susan Graver is continuing to be exclusive to the Q, she needs to have more tall pants. I think she doesn't do so because it cost her more to make longer pants and her profit line isn't as great with talls.

SG needs to make her swing dresses about 45" in length.

Definately longer jackets. I don't like the ones that cut me off and I will not layer with something "peeking" out from underneath.

Joan Rivers jackets/blazers as with QF are very pretty, but too short for me and probably for a lot more ladies. The jackets need to be offered in a 29 1/2 inches to 29 3/4 inches in length.

I have previously read that the Q is hiring plus size models which is great. However, they also need to be short, not just 5'7" and taller. There also needs to be busty plus size not just large hips. Depending on the manufacturer I can wear from an XL to a 3x and as far as I am concerned the Q size chart means absolutely nothing. These cannot even be considered standard size measurements. My other issue is length, please stop making lengths in 28" and above. Unless you are 5'8" and above a 28" length looks terrible on a short person. I may be short and wear a plus size but a 28" length is ridiculous on me. I have a Quacker top I purchased years ago, 1X that is 26" long and it's just perfect.

I don't mind not having a plus size model; she will simply never be my shape anyways.

I appreciate that QVC has plus sizes in all lines and I get more selection here than in certain b&m stores.

But, since this is a suggestion thread - it would be great if armpits didn't go down to my navel! Seriously, why do they make armpits so huge? I'm not small by any means, so I have no idea who they are cutting them for if they are too big for me?!?!? Yes, I do mostly keep my arms covered, but there is sometimes the occasion to be sleeveless. But, I simply can't because the cut is soon off!! Probably send the most back because of this.

I'm sitting here watching the LIz C. show and when they were presenting the denim jacket the host got all rattled when she asked the Liz C. vendor if she was wearing the xsmall and the host said "no, the xxs" and the gal said "oh, well, I could probably wear that too if it was out I have on the Xs" and you could tell she was upset because the other older gal had on the xxs. LOL

get over yourself, ladies.
