My sisters and I have shopped QVC for many years. Until recent, we have purchases many items and clothing on QVC. The recent styles are horrible. The high low tops are terrible. When you sit on the low in the back, you are all wrinkled and very unattractive. What a terrible design. The sizing from the experts is really off. Denim and Co, and Bob Mackey are the only ones true to size according to your sizing chart. The skinny leg pants are horrible on older ladies. Older ladies look the best in wider leg pants and not so form fitting. You have a lot of older ladies that shop on QVC. Please, please, look at the styles and try to accomodate different people and not all one kind. Your pricing has gone up and we don't understand that with the styles offered.

"The skinny leg pants are horrible on older ladies."

My 92yr old mother & her older friends look cute in their skinny leg pants, jeans as well as leggings.

I'm 66 soon to be 67 & I have never heard a complaint from my man when I wear them either.

I wear skinny jeans, have long Barbie hair, and wear bright nail Polish. I hope I don't have my SS card taken away.

That's not QVC, that's because you don't care for current style trends and current fabrics and you are stuck in what Qvc was like way back when you like the experience. I know for a fact that Qvc does have wider leg pants and tops that might work for you but they aren't featured often, or at all on Qvc Tv. You should search Qvc.com to find things that might fit your lifestyle and tastes. The prices are what they are.

I strongly suggest you not buy skinny pants. There certainly are plenty of others from which to choose; QVC has something for everyone. Surely you're not suggesting they quit selling skinny pants because you and your sisters don't like them?

You don't have to sit on the back of any longer top - just pull it out before sitting the same way you would with a blazer. Skinny pants actually look great on older women and make them seem more like they have a shape where wider legs often make legs look thick and shapeless! I am 64 and want to look like I have a shape.

YEP - skinny, skin tight leggings are really the look for older women with cellulite thighs and baggy butts. That's the look I'm going for!

Seriously, QVC does offer a few options in regular pants but really needs to offer more. The popularity of the recently aired gauze pants should be an indicater to them that there are many of us out here looking for non skinny items to buy.

@Liny

Just this year I am beginning to find jacket styles that work for me (short jackets) and pants with full legs and drawstring waists and pockets.

It is really true that everyone has different proportions and needs different options.

I tried and tried to make skinnies and oversized hi-low tops work for my figure but just couldn't. Have to admit pickings were slim last summer and I needed properly made wide leg pants to attend as a wedding guest. I ended up ordering linen pants from a company based in China -- at $100 per pair AND alterations AND a dry-cleaning bill.

Apparently lots of ladies wanted this type of pant because they all sold out then and now there are many more choices.

For those who dread the day styles change and leggings with tunics are in short supply, I sympathesize. (If this ever happens)

Nicely said, @LTT1. Fashion changes, and we all have to make adjustments or lucky some, they just love it.

I'm 5'4" and weigh 105, very small boned and narrow shoulders. I've tried and tried to wear the tunic and long tops. It's just not a good proportion for me.

So, I buy petite tops and bide my time. I hope all the ladies enjoy the leggings and tunics, but I know it won't last forever. Already, they are squeezing in wide leg pants, and everyone knows, wide leg pants beg for a short top.

From my observation, there are many who look fab in leggings and skinny pants. I've gotten so used to them I can barely wear regular jeans anymore, much less wide leg pants. Like already said here, I like having a shape. As far as the longer back on the tops and uneven hemlines, I stay away from all that. Definitely not my style.

@Liny @febe1

Here are two Denim and Company styles that, if wishes were to come true, Carolyn and Gary would offer in petite lengths:

Not as narrow (on me) as shown... these flow and present with the legs slightly widening at the bottom. 100% cotton unlined gauze and the fabric has BODY.

Have ordered navy, white and gray.

Wish: please offer the taupe again so I can wear with my Linea lace jackets that have a linen trim...

Above is a textured crinkle fabric from Denim and Company that seem to be an easy-care fabric. Need a wider waist-band for me. The picture shows them too short for my taste... they need to cover my shoe to look right.

From CWC a jogger pant in tencel that I LOVE... again, the fabric is easy-care and has BODY
