Describing where we will wear our clothes?

Foxann — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 19:40:30 GMT

I have been a QVC fan since 2007. I purchase very often and have watched very often over the years. Some of the hosts have to start reeling it in. Please don't spend time telling us all the places we can wear our clothes that they are selling! Some story telling is fine but please keep it to a minimum. It's to the point with a couple of the hosts that I am unable to watch my favorite vendors because the host gets so loud and ittitating in their chatter to the point I am unable to watch when I want to purchase and need to see items on the models and have descriptions of fabric, the cut of the piece, length, etc. Sorry to say that when Rachel Boesing and Jane Treacy are hosting I am unable to watch presentations for purpose of seeing if I want to purchase because they are too interested in being cute, funny, and getting all the attention.

i'm with you on the places ... and they are always the same: wear it to walk the dog, taking the kids and dropping them off to school, dance, etc., run out to Wa-Wa. When your running around doing errands, to church, out to dinner. I don't need suggestions as I am capable of choosing what I wear to what event.

I do agree...less personal chatter and talk FIT CUT STYLE SIZE...thats what the QVC viewer wants.

100% agree! Please Stop suggesting where to wear the clothes. It's juvenile and condescending, in my opinion. Styling is one thing, but telling us where to wear outfits is so old and keeps QVC in the dark ages of home shopping.

Time to let that go.

Sometimes I try to envision their work roundtable meeting discussions. Someone mentions running out of things to say. The other hosts join in and say "never forget to stretch things out by saying where you can wear the outfit. That can go on for 2-3 sentences. Then when you're done with that, tell a story about one of your kids and how they would like this outfit - or that you have the outfit and your kid complimented you. And also never forget to add the fact that you can SHOP BACKWARDS and to keep an eye on the RED LIGHT/GREEN LIGHT banner at the bottom of the screen."

Oh yes, and let us not forget what we can wear to the Pumpkin Patch!! When that started swirling around I made a quick exit. I usually check out clothing on-line and forgo the "Showmanship" provided by the Hosts.

I've noticed that over the years watching QVC has become less enjoyable. I figured it was me changing my lifestyle and maybe becoming more aware of the sales tactics. But you may be right that some of it is QVC changing over the years as well. I am with everyone here that I really don't want or need personal chatter and want more facts about sizing, dimensions, fabric content, etc.

Do the hosts know that most of us adults actually KNOW how to dress?

Dressing myself before ALL of them (host) were born!

@Foxann

I would go to their public FB and give them some helpful suggestions.

Hosts don't read the forums, so nothing will change.

There are people out there that don't have a clue about how to dress. I've seen them and so have many of you. Maybe that's who needs to be watching the Q.

They have to kill some time SOMEHOW. It beats talking about their adult daughters or their last vacay to Disneyland.

I wouldn't turn to QVC for fashion advice considering the places they tell people they can wear their PJ's or loungewear to.

I'm always grateful that I purchased the original D & C barn jacket that we were told was THE fashion item for our visits to the haute couture Pumpkin Patch........

.......also for the advice to buy multiples of everything for our ever-ready Gift Drawer......

oh i do not doubt some need where and what to wear guidance.

we all see the need for it when we are out and about.

direction for some is helpful.

off subject but reminded me of:

once someone complained the food chopper they bought was useless as it did not include recipes.

In spite of my sarcastic remark,I think it is just a sales tecnique. Irritating,but a way to sell,sell,sell.

Don't watch so often and you won't get so irritated.

@TheMemphisVette Wow! 😳 OK, that puts it into a whole new perspective. I will no longer complain about the dog walking pumpkin patch soccer game.

If I had to describe say, a t-shirt for an hour, you can bet I'd add fillers to take up some of the time. How many times can someone possibly go over the fabric, size chart and colors without doing so? It would become boring and robotic to watch.

So, yeah, tell me I can wear it walking the dog. I may shout at the TV: "No way, really?" I play along with it, knowing how difficult their job really is. I get it. They're doing what's expected.

I totally agree that the non-stop talking over one another is very annoying. I feel there's pressure from the top for the hosts to perform -- to keep a rapid pace. So when two hosts are working together, for some, there's clearly a bit of competition to out perform the other. I don't care if they have two hosts, but they need guidance on sharing the stage.
