Quaker Factory is stuck in deep rut....

chrystaltree — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:06:59 GMT

I wondered what the QF tsv would be and now I know. The same set they've been selling for more years than I can count. I imagine most Quackers already own several sets like that. QF really needs to update it's merchandise. They are stuck in 2005.

I think the TSV is not a great value. The jacket does not look good and the zipper is terrible. The tee shirt with stripes is not flattering. I do not watch. I do not like Carolyn because according to her she owns everything. Yet, when you see her she is rarely wearing anything she claims to have. I think Antonella is very funny and full of life. I enjoy watching her and she does not claim she owns everything. She was good with Clinton Kelly.

I don't like the stripe shirt and I am not a fan of fleece...

I see a couple of embroidered fall tops in the new arrivals that I do like...

They are really almost "too" excited about this. Really having to "push" it. And having to explain the zipper every time...how to zip it. Not a fan of the applique and jacket looks like loungewear.

there are too many things going on

fleece

sequins

stripes

it's a TSV and they want to do a lot but, may be a knit jacket, or just fleece and stripes

I don't understand WHY this thread has been removed by QVC...These women were merely giving their personal opinions regarding a vendor's clothing. Are customers not allowed to voice their opinions in a respectful manner???

I just voiced pretty much the same opinion on the TSV thread. Frankly, I'd be surprised if they're still around in five years.

I'm tired of the glitter, the childish graphics, and most of all, the stubborn refusal of the company to make petites just because one woman had a quirky figure fault, I.e. "I'm short, not petite". Well, the rest of the world is short AND petite. I also think the quality is on the skids.

I don't even watch the shows anymore. I love Angel but not QF.

It's nothing exciting that's for sure. It just doesn't work for some reason...the stripes are too bold, not figure flattering, the colors don't seem to co-ordinate too well, and it's no bargain at this price either.

The best deal was their sale price on the dream jeannes.

While I am not a huge fan of the TSV for myself, i have bought a pair of Dream Jeannes this morning, and I just purchased another top I liked. For me, the items I bought today are perfect choces. No rut here. LOL

The main reason I rarely bother to look at a QF show is because a large majority of their tops are 3/4 sleeve. Will not buy, ever. Add perpetual offerings of horizontal stripes and there isn't much I would ever possibly want.

Jane said this morning that you could go into a store and see one embellished? t-shirt for $46.

I always wonder what store are they talking about?!!None that I"ve ever seen! The "you could go into a store and see one with 3 zero's added onto it" or "for thousands of dollars (when talking about jewelry or handbags or even shoes or boots).

That's when I stop watching. If they have to sell something by saying what a good buy it is (not!) and not selling it on its own merits, they've already lost me.

I thought there were much prettier tshirts they showed of QF than the tsv.Like A281805.But the prices are crazy!

IMO ALL of QVC is in a rut. Plenty of other places to shop and I do, although I have learned useful information on these forums!

I buy when the price is right. Every catalogue out there sells pretty much the same design in my honest opinion for one third the price point. Or I just wait for AS IS or clearance.

Just what I always wanted in fashion --- a big, sparkly fox on my chest.... and sparkles all the way down the side of my legs.

I do think this is a great line for a kindergarten teacher.

Yes, a kindergarten teacher with really bad taste.

Eh. I have purchased a few of the holiday sparkly shirts because, yes, the younger children LOVE them. Boys and girls like to look, touch the beads and sparkles. It's sweet, harmless and a fun way to celebrate the holiday/season.

I remember when they offered amazingly decorated sweaters/cardigans for the holiday seasons... still gorgeous years later.

Beyond that, I don't wear the stuff but what I do have has held up very, very well.

I imagine like any other product or group of products that if they weren't selling QVC would discontinue their relationship with the company or not sell a particular product. Out of the millions of customers that the Q has, I'm betting that there are still a whole lot of them who buy QF.

I agree, QF tops would be great for pre-school and kindergarten teachers. Anyone who works with very young children.

What an offensive statement! There is a vast difference between "short" and "petite" and neither one is a "quirky figure fault." Petite clothes are cut smaller all around, not just in length and rise. Those of us who are short, meaning 5"3" and under are proportionately the same as our taller sisters, but because our legs are shorter or our torsos are longer, we need the "short" designation. Get your facts straight before you insult fellow posters.
