Models covering up clothes with a sweater

doun2earth — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:06:05 GMT

I love, love love QVC. I watch it all the time and order frequently as well. However, nothing makes me more crazy that when the model is wearing a outifit, and then they throw a sweater on and cover up the entire ensemble. How are the viewers supposed to get a good look at what they are buying if its covered up??

I've said this so many times - very annoying.

Or their long hair.

I hate when they do that. It doesn't make any sense to me that QVC expects people to order clothing they can't even see half of, due to all the additional things they throw over everything.

I suspect models do this when the item does not fit them properly and/or they are not wearing their correct size.

I agree that it is annoying and it seems to be happening quite often. However, on the flip side, it is saving me a bundle, because I will not buy clothes if I cannot see the entire item.

I've wondered this myself lately. It is annoying that's for sure. I also dislike it when they are showing handbags and never show the inside. Shoes are another one, they don't show the bottoms or the lining inside. Don't the hosts ever go into stores and look at clothes/shoes/handbags and look at the enitire item before buying?

I just assume there's something wrong with the fit/cut of the item so they are covering it up. It's "do not buy that" flag for me.

I also hate when they push sleeves up....sometimes you can't tell if it is long or 3/4 sleeve if not in the product description......or even having those huge necklaces covering the neckline.........

I agree. I noticed that with the plus size models they are sometimes the only models covered up and figured the garment does not fit them properly and/or they are not wearing the correct size.

I'm glad you brought up this subject - it's a pet peeve of mine too. I especially hate when they cover up a blouse with a large, billowing scarf. I want to see the collar!!! the shoulders!! the neckline!!

I always assume the collar lays 'funny' or there's something else wrong with how the blouse is made and they are covering it up. As soon as I see a big scarf, I turn the channel.

@doun2earth

Excellent point .... but please take the time to post this in the Suggestion Box section .... this is worth repeating, IMO.

Absolutely drives me NUTS when they do this!!! I find myself even yelling at the tv sometimes. I know, I need an intervention.

It would be good if they showed just one model without a cover and style the others with the additional piece(s).

@ECBG. I agree but given the choice they will use the model that the garment fits. I enjoy H by Halston when everyone models the garment and 1 model is selected to be styled from a rack on the set. At times the item does not work, they say dont like this and take another. We all know how to add sweaters, jackets, scarves and jewelry. Not every model needs to be embellished. I would also like each model to slowly turn around so we see the garment at all angles. Regardless of size with chest or not and with booty or not totally can change the fit. I have both. I do not want the buttons on my house to gap open nor do I want the top to sit on my booty and draw attention to it. I am sure other ladies have other reasons they would like to see 360 degrees of the garment. There is plenty of time allotted for this for each presentation. There will still be time for chit chat.

In the past year or more, I've bought one cross-body bag from QVC. That's it as far as apparel goes. I don't care whether the models stand on their heads. I won't be watching. I get all my clothes at HSN these days: Iman, Marla Wynne, Sporto, and Naturalizer, to name but a few of their excellent lines.

I've only seen one instance where a dress was totally covered. It was a Halston dress and the model had a cardigan over it buttoned from the bottom to under the chin. That dress must have been a hot mess to warrant such a cover-up.
