Kate & Mallory

nycgrl — Tue, 23 May 2017 17:48:24 GMT

Anyone like this clothing line on the other channel? I must say the few pieces I've purchased I like, but I choose really carefully since I don't like the extreme high lows or shark bite tops. I am not crazy about tonight's TTV, but will watch for specials on some other tops that may be offered at special pricing. Just curious if anyone else has bought - I have about 6 or 8 tops from K&M and get compliments on them all the time.

I have several pieces. I love One World although lately I am loving Kate and Mallory. In fact I have a dress coming today.

I really like some of the their fashions, but sometimes they do too many things - hi/lo, lace, cutouts, fringecoldshoulder, overlays - all in one garment. Wish they would just do one thing to one garment and let it be - also, saw a couple tops I would have bought, but how on earth do you wear undergarments with them when they are cut half way down your back? I don't get it. I wish their designers would keep it a little simpler. Would also like a little beefier fabric - seems everything they sell the models have to wear tanks underneath - who wants layers in the summer?

@nycgrl Yes, I do have several blouses/shirts and a few of their leggings. I do like the brand very much, and the prices are very reasonable IMO. It's a proprietary brand for Evine, so you can't get it anywhere else.

I have some pieces & really like them.They are cheaper & better made than a lot of the QVC brands.They also launder very well too.

Like most other clothing lines, K&M is hit or miss for me. I have some items that I've loved, some I've sent back, some have held up well, some hasn't.

What is the TTV for tonight?

I agree with hoosieroriginal about K&M sometimes doing too much on one garment. I do own a few of their garments that I like and wear. I always double check size and carefully watch the videos .

I always check out OSO and One World also.

I do think Evine knows what 'clearance sales' are. I Just bought a fairly nice jacket and a winter top for $5.99 each and free sh&h that day ! Not just $5. off of $49.

I have had good experience w Mark Bouwer & Vanessa Williams lines. K&M as well as One World are hit or miss -for me more misses.

IRL some of those items are very poor quality, like this One World top I was hoping for memorial day & july 4th. It looks so cheap & ugly. It was only $20, but I can't see myself wearing it & no one - fam or friends wants it, so I'm going to eat the $10 to return it and get $10 credit. Lesson learned, no more cheap tops from Evine

Evine is hit or miss for me with clothing. I purchased the Kate and Mallory faux suede moto jacket and I loved it so much that I have multiple colors. I have had to put them away until fall now because I live in Florida and it gets hot but when I wore those jackets I got compliments all of the time. The jackets also wash well and I hang to dry, no iron. Great jacket. I will not be buying their TTV tonight because it is not my style.

@Chi-town girl

I sent mine back yesterday! But I saw nothing wrong with the quality it was just an ugly shirt and ginormous! when you order extra small there's nowhere to go from there.

I thought the lace trim was pretty but the exaggerated embellishment and the stripes and the flutter sleeves were just all too much!

@SilleeMee

The TTV is actually cute on the girls but I just know it's going to be overwhelming on me

@Andreatoo I think the fabric is poor quality & those plastic stars, oy.

To avoid another return I tried to convince myself to wear it for this season, but I just can't, lol. And I couldn't give it away.

Of any online store that I've shopped, Evine gets the award for most cringe worthy reaction to me opening a package. And this wasn't the 1st time. Awful.

I do not care for the TTV. I wear nothing cold shoulder.

Re: Kate & Mallory

nycgrl — Wed, 24 May 2017 12:08:05 GMT

The TTV looks nice on the models and hostesses, but honestly I don't like cold shoulder and it would look like a potato sack on me. Too much material. However, there are some other tops that they have that are in my shopping bag and I'm debating getting those and a couple pairs of leggings. I also enjoy some OSO. I'm not a One World fan since I'm not into prints or embellishments or the like, although I do like the material - I gave away the one shirt I bought because I just couldn't bring myself to wear it.

I like the TTV but I'm petite & I think it has a lot of material & will overwhelm me.I'll pass.

I wasn't too keen on their TTV. But I do have quite a few of their pieces. I have three maxi dresses and several tops and I just ordered a sleeveless top last Saturday that was a try me. They are more of a "trendy" line so if you're more of a classic, conservative dresser it's not going to appeal to you. I've been satisfied with everything I have in that brand. The only thing I returned from Evine was a Glitterscape maxi that came with a necklace. The necklace fell apart and the dress was lovely, but a little too sheer! I had bought two. I kept the black and returned the blue.

They are a little "trendy", but I don't buy those pieces. I'm a classic, conservative dresser. I bought a few of their blouses and some of the simplier pieces. I work in a corporate environment - it cracks me up sometimes when these really casual or over the top pieces are shown and they say you can wear it to work. Not where I work you couldn't. But, I really do like the pieces I already have.

I have a neighbor who keeps ordering because she likes their styles and prices, but she's returning more than half the things because they are unacceptable. I keep telling her for what she's spent in shipping to and return postage she could have bought several items from Chico's. She likes Chico's, but considers them to be expensive. The The one Evine brand my neighbor seems to have the best luck with is OSO. I've not been completely satisfied with Evine clothing quality since they had the old Pam McCoy Collection (when Pam was still a host). I was very disappointed with Indigo Threads because I really wanted that one to be a consistent winner.

@Chi-town girl, too bad that One World top was a no. That is exactly the type of thing I go for if I'm trying to dress in patriotic colors, and don't want to wear a flag print.
