Model's size profile

Day1128 — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:25:59 GMT

In the D & Co TSV (French terry pants) the model's height and size were shown on the screen. I like this. Years ago Q did this for a short time, so I'm glad to see this again instead of waiting for the host to 'maybe' say the size/height of the model.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but how would this information even matter? I would think that a model with the same body type would be much more helpful in knowing how a garment would look on you.

I think everyone just wants to know HOW MUCH they WEIGH.................

Don't know WHY that matters..........but total strangers ask me what I weigh..........

All the models are taller than I, and definitely weigh less.

That's the starting point, and it ends there too.

@Tinkrbl44 People just "wanna know".........I think it's human nature.

Seeing that Aida is a size 6 and Meredith is a size 2 is not much of a help for me.

I need to see garment measurements.

@bri20

Ditto .... the models' size and height are meaningless to me.

Maybe if they put up their actual body measurements, it would help. Then I could compare my actual body measurements to the models'.

I pretty much know what size I am in QVC clothes anyway.

I don't think one needs to know the specifics of the model when they can peruse the garment size chart using their own measurements.

I do, however, think it's nice to see the garments on different body types. The Q may have many models of different heights and weights but they're strangely lacking in models with hips!

Yes, Meredith, the petite model, was wearing the petite length.

My shoulders are wider than my hips.........I request a model like that (who is also under 5' tall)

well maybe now people will be satisfied with knowing something that makes no difference in whether it looks good on you or not.

Maybe extra work but I took notes on the info when I first saw this on a SG late show several weeks ago. I an XL and 5ft 4in,inseam 30in. My inseam and chest do not allow me to order a petite. I have added to this info as I hear it. I can look at the model closest to me to help me know if the garment is true to size. I am tired of paying for returns when I have made a purchased based on the size measurements given by QVC[on air and on line] and the garment I receive does not fit and would require more than a simple hem. Today I noticed that the 5ft 9in models att said they had on a 31in inseam and a tall inseam was available. Meredith who is promoted as a petite model at 5ft 2.5in often has a reg length pant on, not a petite when available. I am watching for a "plus" model who is under 5ft 9in. Rebecca is 5fy 8in tall and had on a XL. Dark hair Maria is 5ft 8in and had on a XL 16 top and bottom. There have been times when a model has different sizes top and bottom. No wonder as consumers we have trouble finding a proper fit.

I was so glad to see the information. I am 5' 10" and need to know the length of tops, jacets and dresses. QVC has some models who are much shorter and most items are made for women who are shorter. It is very rare that they tell you the length, so if you know the height of the model, it does help.

The size charts indicate what size will fit but not where it will fall lengthwise. Many of the tops and jackets they offer will not even reach my belly button. Skirts that fall above the knee on a tall model will be the same for me..but some of their models are average height.
