Sizing and returns...

chiclet — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 11:40:26 GMT

I ususally wear large in D & C but in other brands I always get XL. When they were showing this CWonder top they said to size up if you carry weight in hips so I got 1X. Omg it was huge so I returned and got an XL and it is just as big. I am not going to pay for return postage again so I am going to try to make it work. Maybe shrink in dryer. I have had to stop ordering much because the sizing is weird and the return postage is expensive. I love elbow length sleeves and would order the TSV but if it does not look good or fit I am out money. I think they charge enough for these clothes to cover the cost of return postage.

@chiclet I know exactly what you mean.Sizing isn't consistent & it could get expensive to return.Sometimes the size is ok but the item just doesn't look good on.

I just received the Clarks TSV sandals from the other day.They fit but the back strap on the right foot rubbed my ankle badly.I had to return them.The shipping both ways cost $12!!! The online shoe 👠 outlets like"Z" offer free shipping & returns.They also offer coupons.They're a much better deal.

Many other companies offer free shipping and free returns. I hope QVC does the same. I am more cautious with purchasing from QVC because of the cost of returns. More so with clothing than anything else. I think the Denim & Co TSV is okay. I've purchased a D & C shirt before with the lines going down the front. Gary said it was to "flatter your figure" or something like that and it didn't. I don't care for all those lines.

you shouldn't have to pay for that contact the social media team here for help.

PS any time I have tried to shrink something in dryer it never works, and if it's a made made fabric it won't anyway

I also have more or less curtailed my shopping for clothing because of the sizing issues you stated. On a binge in the last two weeks I ordered some clothing and was forced torced to return all. No more for me this summer/fall.

@chiclet, I would call CS and tell them that you ordered up a size based on the recommendation on air and the top was huge so you incurred the cost to send it back, ordered a size down and it's still huge. Maybe they will credit the return s/h. Did you check your garment measurements against the garment measurements listed? If they aren't accurate, you will definitely get your s/h back.

As an aside, the reviews I read said the TSV runs big and to go down a size.

@chiclet Don't count on clothing items shrinking. Modern clothing, due to the fiber content and the fact that it's preshrunken, just doesn't shrink. Did you check the actual garment measurements before ordering? I think most people don't and then complain about sizing. I buy a lot, way too much, but rarely ever have to return anything. I carefully check the measurements before buying.

Gone are the days when we could order our "usual" size and get pretty much the fit that we expected. I've done the "buy more and save" and it has always backfired. In the same item number/same size but different color, things vary a lot now! Example: Isaac TSV companion tank top. Super nice top but all the ones I bought in the same size fit differently. One is perfection but not the rest. Same with Breezies bra ... one of a few is perfection, the rest don't fit the same. Bought two different styles of Denim & Co bathing suits this week. Both in the same exact size. One fit huge. The other one was soooo tight I could barely breathe ... truly, could barely breathe. I'm switching back to brick & mortar stores where you can try things on before buying. I've also switched to Talbots ... much more consistent sizing and they offer plus petite ... yeah!!!
