Seersucker & long sleeves???

151949 — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 13:42:34 GMT

Why would you make a big shirt from THE quintessential summer lightweight,cool fabric - seersucker - then make it long sleeved?

I can get a SHORT SLEEVE seersucker camp shirt at Blair or Woman Within for $25 - and that will be where I'll be buying them. I wonder who does the buying for QVC? This seems like normal common sense to me - summer fabric - short or at least 3/4 sleeve.

I love the camp shirts from Woman Within, they are well made and reasonable.

Here's why.........many of us love long sleeves so we can roll them up a couple of folds.I have several from years ago from Susan G and wear them every summer. Wish I could find more - but wouldn't buy this new Joan R's because of the print and colors. These are awful - I'd give my opinion but might offend some. And the price! Not worth more than $32 (max)

I like long sleeved seersucker shirts because I like to roll the sleeves up...it is a flattering look on me. I'm considering the new QF shirt...pretty colors.

I think rolling up sleeves looks sloppy and I don't like the way they feel - it irritates me all day long! And you really can't roll up a long sleeve to be any higher than 3/4.

Because some of us wear long sleeves due to sun exposure issues. Seersucker is cool yet long sleeves over protection.

I am the woman on the beach with the long pants, long sleeves, big hat, sunglasses and huge umbrella. I've worn gloves a few times. If I could find shoes that the sand wouldn't destroy, I'd wear them to too while on the beach.

You just never know what the needs of others may be.

This is going to be my last post on the QVC site, because I can not stand how the least little thing becomes a duel of words. Even some of the Book Club posts show one poster trying to outdo the other.

Long sleeve seersucker? Causes a headine of three question marks? Why? If you don't like it, don't buy it!

Yes,everyone is entitled to their opinion - the usual retort - but every opinion does not have to be expressed.

Sloppy, not sloppy, how dare QVC offer a seersucker shirt in long sleeves - on and on and on -

Diid any one ever see businessmen and women in their seersucker suits in the summertime? With long sleeves? But, who cares!

I have the (A253761) older version, long sleeve Joan Rivers seersucker shirt (not plaid) and love it! I'm cold natured and can easily roll the sleeve up past my elbow and use the button tab to fasten. I like the look on me. I also like the ability to roll the sleeve down, when the air conditioning is blasting in public buildings. I wore the navy striped shirt just this week.

I have received catalogs from Woman Within but never ordered. Do you find sizing similar to qvc and what about quality? Would you think an xl or 1x here would be comparable? I do like seersucker for summer. Thanks for info.

@coco14 There are actually some relatively pleasant, laid back, relaxed posts here.

Try TV & MOVIES, GARDEN, KITCHEN, RECIPES......

Somehow those topics usually don't attract the kind of violence that rolled sleeves can engender.

I thought the whole idea of seersucker was that you could do long sleeves even in the hotest weather. Like seersucker suits on southern lawyers .

I said on another thread and I will repeat...I think Q should offer choice of sleeve length in many of ithe tops.I hear people like a variety of lengths for a variety of reasons.

And if it was a seersucker tank, you would be complaining because retirees shouldn't expose their arms.

Always something to complain about...

Living at 7000 ft., the sun's heat and exposure to my skin is brutal. I need to cover my arms and be cool at the same time. Denim & Co has a thin-striped seersucker shirt that keeps me cool. I bought several last year.

But don't you think a big shirt should have long sleeves? Gentlemen in the southern and west high country wear seersucker because it creates passageways for air between your skin and the garment. Ideal really for protection from the scorching sun and the intense heat. That's why seersucker jackets are never lined . Joan wore her big shirts as a jacket alternative.

I I have multiples of D& Co long sleeve seersucker, menswear collared, long sleeve shirts. They're perfect for the high desert . But I wish there were a more sophisticated, polished version for work or dining.

I do agree that a camp shirt would be nice too. Would love a blouse, not a shirt, with short sleeves.

When one talks to themselves, one can steer the conversation to suit one's fancy. Talking to someone else is bound to elicit discord. But, that's why your input is valuable. Why not stay and converse ? Expressing one's opinion is not necessarily being a hater. Even your angry response gives pause for thought.

No - the3 sizing is completely different from QVC - you need to look at the size chart in the catalog.

This plus when you do go inside in the air conditioning, I freeze. I used to own a seersucker big shirt years ago, it was so light but gave the right amount of coverage indoors or out.
