Who dresses the Plus Size Models?

Brunette — Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:42:28 GMT

Woman in control was on this morning. The vendor (forgot her name) wore skin tight white leggings. Looked like they were pained on. She wore it with a Navy jacket and red shoes.......OH MY GOSH! Looked horrible and she's slender. The model Iris was wearing the skin tight capris with big clunky stripy wedges, horrible look! Jackie the other model always wears skin tight pants again with a strap shoe. YIKES!

These models can look so much nicer. Who in the world is dressing these models? Not a good look at all.

The shoes they put on everyone are not attractive at all. Big and Clunky. Those tight pants might look a bit better with a nice flat. It's just too much stuff on their bodies. I only check in with the Q nowadays. Prefer to look online.

The problem is they have no stylists. The models are coming up with these outfits all on their own. BOth the models and salespeople need a stylist IMO.

Glad I didn't see this.

Be very careful and read the reviews before ordering anything from this line.

I have one pair of her pants and doubt I'd ever purchase again.

The pants are black and were okay at first but showed signs of fading right away. I haven't worn them very much and have had them a year or so but they have an odd hole that looks like the fabric was cut with a pair of scissors a few inches below the waistband.

The fabric had an odd odor as I remember at first and seems to have lost it's shape.

I can't stand the dancing demonstration she does with these to demonstrate the supposed control these pants have either.

I don't think Jackie or Iris look good in any of the clothes they model on QVC .. I am sure they look much better in their own personal clothes that they wear when they are not on QVC.

I totally agree on the clothing these women are modeling-way too tight and the colors are often just as bad put together. I don't mind the shoes except for the very high heels with crop pants! Even the regular size models try to fit into very small size clothing-it must be an ego thing! I like most of my WWC pants-they fit me well and I have never had any problems with colors fading-the black is still black, navy navy etc.

I am a plus size woman and I take issue with the woman with control line and I always feel bad for the plus size models when they are showing this line. Woman with control uses lots of spandex and in my experience anything with spandex over 3% is not my friend. The vendor, who is thin, touts her line as a slenderizing line when in reality the plus size models look terrible. Most of the time, I don't like the way the regular size models look either. As a plus size woman, I would never wear tight stretchy jeans or leggings and anyone who thinks they look great in all that spandex better get themselves a 360 degree mirror so they can see themselves from all sides.

From what I see on HSN and the Q sausage skin tight clothing is what is currently trending. It will pass. I agree with conlt -this look is not attractive on anyone past puberty.

If they put a size that PROPERLY FITS THE MODEL, the spandex thing is nice. Holds shape, firms up a bit of the jiggle. BUT sadly, they don't use the correct size items. None of the Q folks do, maybe Mary Beth and the one who loves her dogs, but otherwise, nope.

Why is everybody (hosts, models, vendors) wearing skin tight clothing. Its totally unreal!

Re: Who dresses the Plus Size Models?

Not a line I'm impressed with. Even the very trim vendor looks questionable in some of her pants and other pieces. I'm a plus size woman, and no way will skin-tight spandex worn as an outer garment do anything positive for my figure. What it does it mold to my imperfections so everyone can take note of them. Might as well go out in my spanx........and I can tell you that's not a pretty sight!

The only way to successfully "style" these spandex pants on a larger woman is to put them under a long jacket or tunic that covers everything down to about the knee. I don't even care for skin-tight on slender women. You end up seeing things you'd rather not.

Gee, perhaps you should submit your application for a position as stylist with the Q.

That is something I really would consider! I'm great at dressing for "your" body type. So thanks, for the compliment. I remember on a few shows Lisa had to redress eh hem Kerri and Jackie.

The point is to get you to look, remember, and comment.

Obviously, the stylist was successful!

Anyone prone to allergies and especially anyone wearing anything over size medium should think twice about the spandex content as you can be in for some miserable rashes!

These pants really need to fit exactly right to look halfway decent and that is hard to accomplish for most people, especially anyone interested in this line. Anyone wanting "no more wiggle or jiggle" is bound to have weight issues.

Renee (I think her name is) has a lovely figure and talks about the problems everyone has even if they are thin, ie, cellulite. Her pants look very nice on her but I'll bet you even she wouldn't want to be wearing them all day or for very long, especially in warmer climates/weather.

Many people are allergic to spandex and I'm sure I am one of them and find the more spandex, the worse it is.
