Models wearing the correct size

bewise — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 00:22:04 GMT

There is one model who continues wearing the wrong size.Every time she models a item ,,you can see it's far too small an does not look good.

And one host in particular does the same thing....only to say "I wear an extra small".

It's more than one model and host. A rather frequent discussion here about clothing being too small.

I notice the males don't wear theirs too small, but then, it looks like they wear their own clothes. QVC's "expert" stylist doesn't dress them. A good thing.

And .... they keep their hands in their pants pockets and that makes them look even tighter!

As someone who wears Q xxx and xs their sizing is vanity sizing. Their sizing is much larger than I wear elsewhere. Ever noticed how some tops in a Q xs are a 40" inch chest??? Ridiculous! I'd be swimming. I do see one host who wears all of her clothes too tight. And even worse, constantly layers tops and they look bunched and way too tight. Yikes!

@ellaphant

Yeah, Sean dresses like that. I look at the screen and ask myself "What was she thinking?" when she threw that item on over those other items. Why don't the hosts refer to the models? Why do some of the hosts have to try every item on in a fashion segment?

I think one mistake QVC makes is forcing every single host to wear whatever the TSV is. Some look so awful in the clothes, they must kill the sales.

I think it's pointless for the hosts and models to reveal their sizes. These days I wear a 14 or a Large, but my size and shape is nothing like CG who always says she wears a large. The hosts' or models' have zero impact on the size I order, I go by the garment measurements. Even though I'm usually a large, there are times I can get a medium 🤷‍♀️

I also find it ridiculous to say the size based on height!!! Simple rule of thumb.....wear what fits your body and looks good on you. If you don't like the size on the tag, cut it out!!!

IMO, wearing clothing that is too tight makes the person look heavier.

Shawn is about my height. Says she weighs 150 lbs and is an xsmall. I weigh 142 and wear a medium... Go figure

When I know the height, I have a fairly good idea of how long the pants are on the host or the model. Leah is 5'9 and I am 5'9 also and if it looks too short on her I don't buy them.

I think most of the time the stylists put the wrong size pants on the models.

It does not help sales, in my opinion, if the pants look sprayed on.

I watch Marla Wynne on HSN and when a model is wearing the wrong size she will mention it. She will tell them they need to be wearing a size larger if she thinks it's too tight or just not the correct size. I like that.

The models have to wear the clothing that is at the QVC set. If they do not have model's current size on hand, should they send the model home?

Sometimes you just have to work with what you have.

I never thought of that. Thanks for a

different perspective.

I don't really care if the hosts are wearing the correct size, or the models, my main problem is I wish the hosts would consistently begin by telling us clothing details like, how high waisted it is, or fabric content, or show us all of the colors. I really miss when some of the old pros like Marybeth, Jane, or Jill would explain about the products instead of talking about themselves the entire time. Sometimes I wait and don't order because I'm waiting to hear pertinent information. I work in computers and on phones all day. I don't want to look stuff up at home, I want to veg out on the sofa and let them tell me what the details are.

I don't know the models names----usually mulittasking when I watch, BUT, last night a model came on in Women With Control leggings----- oh my! The pants were white. You could see EVERY lump, bump, indention and cellulite pocket on her legs. I love WWC pants---but if was a new watcher---- I would say, " oh, heck no"! What are the people dressing the models thinking?? Just my two cents!

There is one young male host who wears extremely tight pants, maybe the stylists could help.

Height and weight are not the only factors to determining a proper size of a garment.

Body shape plays a huge roll. Do you have a short or long torso? Short or long legs? Where do you carry your weight?

I know of some who are exactly my weight and close in height yet wear a totally different size than I do.
