Please show more sizes on models

grandma petes — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:56:30 GMT

I like that QVC shows pictures on the item description page of several models wearing that particular item.....but like on the TSV, they show one model wearing a plus size, but the other three pictured are wearing a size 4. Would it be possible to show maybe a size 4, a size 8 and maybe a 12? It’s not very helpful to see an item pictured and all of the models are wearing the same size....and it’s always an xs or a size 4. Just a suggestion, but maybe others feel this way also....a better representation of various sizes so we can get a better idea of fit on a range of sizes.😊

And sometimes those models have squeeeeeeezed themselves into something 2 sizes too small. Not attractive. Have we ever heard a model say she is wearing a size medium? I never heard one.....and medium is just that! Mediun!

Yeah.........let's have a 4' something model.......in an item with pins and tailor chalk showing HOW MUCH it has to be taken up.......!!!!!!!

OK......I'm not being realistic.........but I can usually "eyeball" whether an item will work for me, even tho I know it's gonna take a little work.

@grandma petes, I totally agree with you. It would be very helpful to have more well rounded sizes represented to get an idea of fit. Have 1 person in size 0 or 2 but have more sizes from 10 to 20 + as well.

Amen!! NEW QVC shopper and between size chart, the "QVC size" and "eyeballing", it is trial and Error for me.

There are quite a few models who wear sizes other than XXS-XS -- I know of several Smalls and Mediums who frequently appear in fashion shows, and they've recently added a few more plus-sized ladies as well.

Yes, they've worked on the height representation for those "multi-model shots," but you're correct -- it is often three women in the same size, with the addition of a plus-sized model. Why not make the woman of average height a small or medium (there are several models who fit the bill).

I must be looking at a different QVC because whenever I do look at a fashion presentation now, I am impressed that they are using so many models of varying sizes. Not just professional models but average women.

It appears that the pictures with a mix of "different size models" is realy an aid to visualize length on idfferent heights and not the look of an article of clothing on different sized women.

@chrystaltree The live presentations are great, but what I’m referring to is the pictures listed on the product page. Like today’s TSV....they have four models shown, but one is plus size and the other three are size 4. It would be helpful if they are going to show four models, maybe show four different sized models instead of most of them being the same size.

For me, it's more about body shape than size.

I'm long and narrow with wide shoulders. Even though I'm not as thin or as tall as the models ... it's easy to estimate how something will fit/hang on my body.

And, seeing the shape of the garment on a hanger is a big help, as well as the fit notations such as "follows lines of body" etc. And - whether woven or knitted is another key for me.

Seeing clothing on curvy models does absolutely nothing for me.
