Tight clothes from another perspective

QVCkitty1 — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:00:56 GMT

First off, I don't care what size the hosts are, it's none of my business. If they choose to misrepresent their size, that is their issue, I can measure myself. However, why wouldn't QVC want to present the garment in the best way possible ?? When the outfit looks good on the model or host, I 'm more likely to take a second look, and imagine how it would look on me. If the presenter looks stuffed into her clothing, at first glance, I more than likely will not give it another look. JMO.

On that same issue - I was people watching the other day and noticed a fairly large percentage of women, especially youngish women, wearing jeans and other pants and tops that I considered too small and unattractive. That included several who were wearing clothes that looked quite new as opposed to old that they might have outgrown.

Maybe I'm more out of what's ok in fashion than I even thought I was.

I agree. When the hosts are constanly having to pull and tug on the jacket or sweater to keep it together in the front, not only is it distracting, it looks like it does not fit well.

@millieshops Don't worry...You are NOT "out of what's okay in fashion." Some women, e.g., Robin Roberts, Lara Spencer, etc., look very good in tight-fitting clothes. That doesn't mean that it's for everyone.

Well-fitted clothes will never be out of fashion. : )

As far as daytime show ladies go, I think Julie Chen always looks so nice, and her clothes look perfectly fitted.

IMO, if it doesn't look good on the models, it isn't going to look good on me and I immediately discount buying it.

ITA. I hate it when I see women wearing jeans so tight with their hips hanging over & rear hanging out the back. Looks horrible. I would be embarrassed to wear such a thing. If you cannot get your gut & rear in your clothes please buy a larger size so you have something to put it in. Reminds me of a plumber with their rear hanging out of their pants.

Chiming in! Lastest experience. Hot in Hollywood. First off!! I'm not trying to be anyone but ME! Size 16! Not 14! Large is sizing down. Purchased large in bootcut, Couple days stretched out bigtime!! Returned immediately. Last night missed Shawn presentation of HIH baby bell. Watching the video give Q credit having Jacqui model she's close to my body type except hight I'm 5'5, Jacki wore medium still looked loose in her lower leg area. What's the point? Not concerned with vanity size. When spending $$$ on clothes expect to have some longevity, Realize nothing is like it used to be. Come on, Please less than week?!? 😏

That is up to the wearer. I have better things to do than go around looking at what WOMEN wear or how they wear it. Shallow to say the least.

Women building women....pfffttt.

This thread is not talking about any lady walking down the street. Of course, she can wear anything she likes, anyhow she likes. And I frankly do not look at nor care how someone is dressed in stores, streets, restaurants etc.

This post was about models and hosts selling clothes shown a TV shopping channel. One of the reasons to have real, live models in a clothing presentations is to show how the fashion item fits that size person. If the model/host does not wear the clothing properly, it could hurt the sale of that item. I do not see how a stylist can allow a model/

host to present a poorly fitting piece of clothing.

@QVCkitty1 So true. When I see something pulling through the shoulders and the sleeve/shoulder seam in the wrong place, and it's stretched across the chest ... I immediately know it won't fit my wider shoulders.

"Fitted through the shoulders and upper body" is a giant clue to NOT buy it!

I totally agree on tight clothes looking unattractive on hosts (and models). If a jacket or sweater cannot be closed on the top AND bottom, it is too small. No amount of buttoning it in the middle will make it attractive. And constantly pulling on it doesn't help, either.

Let's agree that leggings are not attractive on large size women. LOGO tops cover the bum but not the front.

And this goes for the men, too. The Pee Wee Herman look is not attractive----skin tight pants and pants and jackets that are shrunk to 2 sizes too short! The C Wonder wore clothes directly from Pee Wee's closet! Bunching at knees and bulging at crouch are not good looking.

Well, I am not for all these tight pants for "other reasons". This should probably be posted under wellness.....but.....since I am here....just let me say it as delicately as I can. It's healthier for women to have some air circulation. I haven't had a ladies problem or bladder infection in many years. I chalk it up to cotton and getting rid of my "ski pants" (remember those, ladies????) and peg legs. Think Marilyn Monroe with her dress blowing up....air...air....and more air!!!!!!!

I noticed the other day while watching, one of the host's had on a white dress that was so tight you could see the outline of her, well how should I put this, private parts, front and back. Then while watching the "IT" presentation with the young blond model presenting, her white dress was just as tight, showing everything too. Why do these women want to wear dresses this tight? They are not flattering at all.

I believe all of this is subjective. What might be considered the "right" way to wear a garment is solely based on individual taste. The same applies to the way QVC models wears garments. Don't the often times show how many ways an item can be worn?

@corita, NO it will not hurt the sale of an item. No way in the world women can look at the stats of a model and determine with certainty how it will look on them. Every woman would need the same stats for the comparison.

@happygolfcartrider, They aren't flattering to YOU. Someone likes them (the women) that's why they buy and wear them. To each her own.

One thing I have to say: Susan G's items seem to fit all of the models. Not too-tight arms, etc. Nothing has to be stretched to button. I'm just 'putting it out there', so to speak. And, personally, I don't think she would allow any of her items to be worn on air if they were 'too tight'. She's one (her personality) who would definitely (and nicely) 'speak up', and it wouldn't happen again. Just guessing, of course.
