Denim & Co TSV

Fifweg — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 16:13:09 GMT

I just don't understand today's TSV. In my opinion, it looks like a maternity top for the "mature" woman. I don't think it looks attractive on any of the hosts or models, no mater what size they wear. It looks like they are covering up a problem tummy. Just my opinion. It seems like D & Co has gotten a bit carried away with trying new things. I haven't bought any of their products in months - I've become a Quacker! I love the Dream Jeannes and ll the bright colors and sparkle. What does everyone else think?

Overpriced.

Saw the presentation at midnight. Have some questions about the hosts sizing but if I ask it will get poofed. And I also think it is overpriced. Colors are pretty.

I do like the sleeve length on it. I'm a lover of elbow length sleeves.

Having said that, I thought it was a bit on the expensive side and the lace makes it not a hang around in shorts or jeans type of tee shirt.

I thinks it's ok..I don't think it looks at all like a maternity top-I like how it gives you a waist, and has a peplum style bottom...having said that, I don't love the seams going down the front, and I'm not really a lace gal, so it's a pass for me..but I think it would look nice on a lot of women

I tried a peplum top from Isaac and it was way too big. If it doesn't fit just right, I don't think they are flattering. I am having too many returns lately -- sending three things back today. So I am definately passing on this top.

@Fifweg, IMO Denim & Co. needs someone younger with fresh ideas designing the clothes. It's currently all the same old thing and higher prices.

I was thinking that lace has become an every day item. I see women wearing lace all the time with the most casual shorts and jeans. I remember a time when lace was just for "dressing up" but that is not the case anymore in my area. I like the top because at my age (64) my waist disappeared in the last 2 years. Sigh.

Be careful with your returns. I read on here that some people were "dropped" by QVC, and not allowed to order any more, because of returning too many things. But, maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing!!! LOL!!!

I agree. Too much "old lady" stuff, but that must be who the shoppers are - last I heard they had sold over 60,000 of the TSV top. And Gary Goben goes to Europe a few times a year to spot "trends." Personally, I don't care what they're wearing in Europe. Do you think Quacker Factory does trends - NOT!!! I'll stick with Quacker and just sparkle and shine. I also love all the tropical and beach themes Quacker Factory does, plus the sizing is always the same. If I order an XS top in QF it always fits. With D & Co it's always a guess beteen and XS or S.

@Fifweg

I can't buy Quacker Factory anymore because the plus sizes are 29" or longer and I'm 5' 3". This is what Jeanne Bice said when she was alive. That she was short--but not petite. She wouldn't like it now that all the plus size clothes are designed to fit only tall gals!!!

I didn't care for the top on the more fluffy hosts.... Jane or Carolyn and have watched them both pull at the top all day long....

It looks like a modification of a Logo top... fitted across the shoulders and bust (sometimes too tight)... fitted in to the waist and them blooms at the bottom. I find it unflattering for the most part. The only part I liked are the lacy sleeves....

Q4U - I agree with you about Carolyn and Jane but as usual they should have been in a larger size. This morning when Carolyn was presenting, there was a plus size model (blond curly hair, very pretty) and Carolyn said they both wear a large but the blond model said she was actually wearing an XL and what a difference. It looked fabulous on her, whereas on Carolyn, you saw all the bulges and rolls - not a good look. Why they don't wear their correct size is beyond me. Nothing looks worse than something that shows off all your inperfections when the right size would look fabulous. Jayne Tracy always wears things that are way too small on her (especially tops).

It looks old-ladyish to me (and not a bit tempting, even though I'll be 70 next year).

D&C and Quacker are more poular with older ladies who want a very conservative look. Way too much 'cover up' kind of clothing and why are they so obsessed with never a nice open neck shirt? It doesn;t have to be revealing, just more open for warmer months. Sorry, I wouldn;t wear a Quacker item - sequins are not for me!

I don't have much opinion on the TSV except that I'm tired of lace on sportswear. I'm even more tired of Quacker clothing; all the childish cartoons and sequins and glitter but mostly the "SHORT" pants sizing that does not fit petites and the stubborn person (Jeannes son?) who refuses to make petites just because one person (Jeanne) had an abnormal figure flaw. I got so disgusted I never even watch the shows these days.

@Fifweg Frankly the tropical and beach themed clothing looks pretty silly when you're out in the middle of New Mexico. Ever occur to you that most of the US has no beach access or a love of the ocean?

I like D & C pants and capris...but I don't buy their tops anymore because they stred to feel 'rubbery' to me because of the spandex.
