QVC & button front blouses

151949 — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 16:03:28 GMT

Every time I buy a button front blouse from QVC it won't button around the hip area and has to be returned. It fits properly in the shoulder & bust so I don't want to size up. I should also note I don't have this issue when I buy blouses elsewhere. I have noted that others also state this issue in the reviews. I wish QVC would pay attention to sizing issues like this. As a side note - I do not have this issue with Susan Graver blouses.

I've noticed that, too. Seems most of my D&C tops have a smaller sweep on them than other brands in my closet. And if I size up to accommodate my hips then the rest of the top is too big everywhere else.

That happens to me too and not only with D&Co. But I still have some blouses from years ago that fit perfectly.

I don't even try anymore! This is always the case for me, and in stores I don't have the problem so as with others, I don't order button front blouses at all from QVC even though there are many Linea ones I would love to have.

With almost anyobe's button-front blouses, by the time they fit my bust and my hips, the shoulders are way too wide for me. I did buy one Denim &
Co button-front in 2016 which worked well when I first received it. Now that I've lost pounds per my doctor's orders, it's too big even to weart as a light jacket.

Were the sizing measurements provided online accurate? If not, that's a "defective" return and shipping should also be refunded.

It could be that the blouses have regular or modified princess seaming, which is a designer mistake, IMO If you're tucking it in, you can always leave the bottom button unbuttoned for more "give". If that doesn't work, by all means leave comments on the vendor's facebook site. Or return it. Or both.

For many decades, I have not bought a single button front blouse: can't stand the see through side view between the button closures.

I had noticed this on seminar leader and that was the end.

Don't miss them at all because I have so many beautiful pullover tops, tunics and sweaters.

Oh geez - the point of the post is not that I'm upset over need9ing to return it - though I am - the point is that QVC needs to address why this happens with all their brands except Susan Graver.

There were some Denim & co blouses on this morning in pretty colorsfor a very good price. I would have bought a couple if I thought there was any chance at all they would actually fit.

I have the same problem, bust fits fine, too tight around the hips. I have gotten a couple of blouses from Iman and Wendy Williams and they work great for me.

Well, one other thing I always do is check the garment measurements. Unlike QVC which overkills with the measurements, HSN"s are straightforward, and I can check what the "sweep" will be.

@151949 Do you pay attention to the "click here" garment measurements before you place your order? That should alleviate return problems. Perhaps some styles just aren't for you. Not everyone can wear everything.

I have a problem with that too but the problem is my larger middle than I used to have. It is old age spread. Not the blouse--the wearer! LOL! I think Susan's clothes are cut for "more mature" ladies. . .

You're in denial. Since you have this problem with ALL button down shirts, it's obviously not ALL shirts that are the problem.....it's your body. Leave the bottom button open.

Look for traditional shirt tail blouses rather than the even hemline all the way around. That should accommodate your hips

I agree. I buy lots of button down tops and cardigans. I check the garment measurements every single time and that makes a difference. I'd never order anything based only on size. The garment measurements tell you if/how something will fit.

I clearly stated in the original pist that I only have this issue with blouses purchased from QVC. So I guess your right -n I just don't have a QVC body.I'm better off buying elsewhere, and I do.

Sounds more like the seminar leader was wearing a blouse that was a bit too small for her (not enough wearing ease).

I've been conditioned over the years to stay away from the crisp button down even though I like the look because I'm an hourglass and I always have the issue of gaping over the boobs if it fits in the waist. I think the invention of spandex is the best thing to happen to the button down shirt!
