KIM GRAVEL DISAPPOINTMENT

12andcounting — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 14:07:07 GMT

I was so happy that Kim offered real tall inseams in the beginning for her pants/jeans. Not many vendors do on QVC. However, I have noticed of late that she is having less and less -- most of her pants/jeans are coming in regular and petite.

How is it that these vendors don't realize that there are a lot of women who need a tall inseam? I just don't get it.

And I know this is probably an odd thing about me, but for some reason when I find a brand that has tall inseams, I shop there quite a lot for other items as well. However, even though they sell other items, I tend to stop looking at their brand when I know they are not going to offer tall inseams for their pants/jeans. And it's not even an "on-purpose" thing - it just seems to happen.

I don't need a tall inseam, but I feel for you tall ladies. The obvious reason they may not do talls on every pant is the cost - cost of the extra fabric, labeling, sorting, storing, etc. BUT, I would think that the profits from the tall sales would cover that, as they seem to sell out fast. It would be interesting if some designer or manufacturer would address this situation.

@12andcounting

I think that's why so many hosts/vendors are pushing ankle pants.

One host recently was sellng pants that came in regular and petite only .... and I guess as a sellinng tactic said she wears ankle pants all year around.

Personally - I don't find ankle pants particularly attractive.

@12andcounting .............Maybe you should contact Kim on her FB page and ask her? I know I could use a 32" inseam.

This is not Kim's decision. The QVC buyer will make the decision and will only buy what is most apt to sell. Don't blame Kim.

@ALRATIBA I agree with you. Not a fan of the ankle pants.

@sandy53 Thank you for your post. It seems that anytime they do happen to sell a tall inseam, it sells out -- and usually before the other inseams. If I were the buyer, that would tell me something.

If Kim Gravel needed a tall inseam, I guarantee you she would offer tall insteams. Same with Susan Graver.
