Jackie modeling clothes

Secretariat1 — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 18:06:30 GMT

I'm sure this thread will be widely criticized but, I can't tell you how many fashion items I was this close to purchasing until I saw Jackie wearing them. I mean, if you're going to use plus size models, please put them in plus size clothes, instead of squeezing them into sizes and fashions that are so unbecoming it ruins it for the rest of us. I constantly see her in items that either don't close or even come close to fitting, or in multi layered items that show every bump and lump. When I see this, I lose my enthusiasum to purchase.

@Secretariat1 ITA. I wear a size 2 or 4 and it's a total turnoff for me.

Jackie is so pretty and I just cringe when I see what they have her wear.

I think Jackie is pretty much always dressed less attractively than the other models. They put her in stripes or too many ruffles and pants that clash with the tops. Poor stylists.

Jackie is beautiful. And she looks beautiful in the right clothes.

You're right . . . I've noticed this too - the size Jackie is trying to model is obviously too small for her.

Sometimes they also have her in items too big - it just shows that QVC sizing is all over the place!

I don't recall having ever seen her in clothing that was too big. Plenty of times in clothing too small. I don't think Q's clothing is more inconsistent than any other retailer's.

If you're a size 2 or 4, it shouldn't be a turn off. There is no comparing yourself with someone that is 5'9 and a size 16. (Actually, they sometimes put her in a 14. These are Q size 14s, which are humungous. Even the 12s are big. Vanity sizing. But Jackie is a very pretty lady.

Here's the thing: she is a plus size model who really isnt plus size. They don't use 3x size women, understand? If you're not going to be there to try on the clothes, the best Q can do is present a variety of sizing.

I have a curvy body and I am glad that they show Jackie. That way I don't buy something that looks frumpy or ugly on a curvy body. Money saved! There are other places to shop, after all.

Jackie is taller than average and they usually say she wears a 14. She is one of the few models that even comes close to the average size woman. I look at her to try and judge for myself. I am 5' 4" and XL. It used to be if it was tight on her and I could guess the length per charts I could be safe by sizing up 1 size. That is no longer true. That is also because sizing is so inconsistent and not true to charts. You can buy 2 identical pieces that are different colors and they have different measurements. I seldom buy any more but do trust Louis and Issac. I have many of their pieces. They last a long time so my purchases from them are down only because I am retired thus not needing much. If I watch their shows I know I am in trouble. I often see something different and I buy.

@Secretariat1

nah. No one's getting their panties in a bunch (unless the q styled them) over this thread 'cuz it's a running theme around here!

It's overwhelmingly poor styling. You'd think with all the whining we do that something would have been done by now!

I don't think it's that difficult to put models, AND hosts, in flattering outfits that actually fit properly! The other 2 shopping channels don't seem to have this much difficulty with it...well Gilman jeans excepted but I suspect she insists they wear them the way she does..

I was jsut looking at A235465 this morning. About 12 minutes in Lori Goldstein starts fussing wiht her top to make it a more flattering fit.

Jackie or Jacqui however you spell that name is my fav.

I'll never forget her coming out in Isaac's denim jacket way, way to small.

she had creases up and down her arm , no way could she pull it anyway close around the bust, and way to short. Just a nightmare.

Isaac, asked her "what size are U wearing darling"? she said 14 his face registered maybe you should go back and get an 18. How he keeps his mouth shut is anybodys guess.

She's more the average woman. I'm 5'5 and a L in most clothes 'cept for Isaac's and go up to XL in his stuff because he doesn't allow for a ample bust. She should know to size up in some lines on the Q

When I see Jackie stuffed into something, I can't tell if the item is proportioned right.

I think she looks best in Halston because of the clean lines.

SharkE — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 19:13:04 GMT

She is so pretty and has a beautiful smile. Like I say she is my favorite.

Just needs a little advice and she would be smashing.

It seems silly to put models whatever their size in the wrong size clothing. It's not about their vanity, but about the customer who can't try on getting an idea of how it looks and fits. And too tight clothing makes everyone look fat, no matter their size.

Nothing to do if the clothing is unflattering in the correct size. If it looks bad on the model, pretty sure it will look worse on me.

SharkE — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 19:20:29 GMT

I think Maria is pretty well true to size probably could go up one more, but, when Carolyn says "maria, is wearing the same size as me, a size L" Maria, will shake her head no and say no I'm XL. She's more mature and a Grandma and doesn't have any hang ups.

I applaud her. She wouldn't be happy eating like a size 2 nor would I

LOL

Jackie has a difficult body to style. She does not have womanly curves, but rather is very rectangular. If a body is slim and rectangular it is easy to style--think long and lean. Unfortunately, a larger body has more styling challenges. In order for a garment to fit in circumference, the shoulders become too big, the sleeves become too long, thereby making the garment look sloppy. I believe this is why stylists choose garments that err on the side of being too small.

Clearly some models and hosts need to have ready to wear items altered for a good fit.

Not sure what being a size 2-4 has to do with it being a turn off or not. No one looks good in ill fitting clothes regardless of size. It does seem like QVC doesn't pay attention to how the items fit the models and the hosts aren't any better.

Incidentally, I'm a size 2-4 but my opinion isn't based on that nor do I think it is good to be this size necessarily.

Re: Jackie modeling clothes

songbird — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 19:31:26 GMT

I don't really think QVC has any true plus size. They aren't any around. In the fashion world, plus size is 12-14. They did have one, Tess Holiday who is close to (or over) 300 lbs with a skinny face. But she was a one off joke (from Mississippi yet) and has not been getting any offers or in print lately.
