QVC Please

Enjoy Carolyn - but please keep her size on the set. It is annoying to hear her yelling for someone to bring her her size.

You know, I wonder if she's making a statement about the fact that more sizes exist than just the sizes shown on the models.

I hear "the yell" as a statement- "We are HERE, no matter what size we are!"

This doesn't bother me since Carolyn is so open and honest about her size. It's more annoying when a host constantly announces that she needs an xxxxs. I guess this says something about my own weight!

I wish they would bring her the right one.

It makes them appear to be very disorganized not to have her size on the set. She shouldn't have to be constantly asking for it. She may be partly at fault for not making arrangements for the sizes she'll need before the show.

Why don't they have her size on the set? They always have the sizes of Albany and Shawn and the other thinner hosts. I feel it's just as discriminating as if they called her fat. If she wants to try something on it should always be there for her.

If Carolyn is a large then I'm an XXXS. In the real world she is a 1 or 2X. So much for being honest.

They used to say that the cameras add 10 pounds to a person. If so, that could be part of it. People who have visited and taken the tour have said that the hosts they met were smaller in person. They said if I get down that way I should take a tour. Everyone is supposed to be very friendly. The hosts you run into were willing to stop and say hello. The place is hugh. I have mobility issues so I avoid large places where I would hold people up. I need to stay with away from their store anyway. To much temptation.

so true on size creep. I just cleared out some 90's clothes in my attic and tried some on. I wear a QVC 10-12 and could not get my old 16's to even zip.

There am instant dress they were selling on the Q web site. I found it most telling when the description stated "not QVC sizing."

Exactly. It's either disorganization or completely staged for effect. Carolyn has to be one of their best at bringing in clothing $, probably the top sales person for apparel. She's a fantastic host. Suspicious they wouldn't have her size ready to go for her. Maybe the staging people are just too lazy to switch things out from all the" xxsmall" hosts. Nah.

I once heard one of the hosts say that all the clothing brought out are either an XS or S. I'm not sure if that's still the case or not.

I think she plans to try on/wear certain items in each show, and they have those available for her. But sometimes she decides to put on something that was not scheduled as a change for her, and that's when she has to ask for a size. So they may have planned for her to wear a denim jacket to start the show and change into a sweater at some later point, but in the meantime she decides to throw on a fleece jacket that is being shown as well.

@Lipstickdiva I believe that is true.The next time you watch a clothing show,if they happen to give a close up of the garment,I always see XS. My best guess is that most garments look better in smaller sizes.Much like shoes.They always show a size 6/61/2..and that's because they look nicer in smaller sizes...They do show some Bigger Models..BUT I think XL is the largerst I have seen. I have never seen a REAL PLUS SIZE MODEL..You know 1X,2X 3X..Although I am a Medium,my Mother in-law is a 2x-3x and she sometimes would love to know what it would look like on someone who actually looked like her!
