Bust measurements

Please kindly tell customers the bust measurement on air. I find this is important for fit more than the lenght measurement of items. Thank you!

Totally agree!

I agree!

And before everyone says to check the 'click here' measurements online for the bust measurement, lately I've looked at a lot of fashion items that don't even show the bust measurement there.

They often post the chest measurements on the screen but some of the producers seem rather lax about it. I won't order unless they've done it so I miss some things I might have bought.

the "click here" in the description has all the measurements for every garment, at every size.

I never wait to see a measurement on air, I just look up the item number or see the "currently on air" on QVC first page. I am most concerned with bust and pant length. It's all there for every size. A number of times I've ordered a different size after checking.

If you want a models measurements check joy modeling agency.com. You can click on a models picture and on many their measurements will appear briefly on the bottom of the page. I wrote down the measurements of the models closest to me for future reference. When I am watching the shows I am going to note when I hear an inseam or a pant size [reg, tall] so that I can compare with me. If Jacqui says she is wearing the regular and not the tall I can look to see wht the inseam measurement of the garment is. Jacqui is 5 ft 9 in tall, size 14/lg and her body measurements were there.I am only 5 fy 4 in and have a 30 in inseam. Any longer the pants have to be shortened. I have to judge if they have a long or short torso. Angel on Quacker always states she has a log torso and shorter legs when she tells us her size. I have heard some models tell they are one size on top and another on the bottom. It may sound like work but when I have this information on models closest to my size I hope to eliminate returms due to sizing out or almost. I would enjoy most purchases if I could get a better fit and cut down on tailoring costs. Also making notes I find that irritating behavior is less annoying when I am not trying to get information to make a purchase and I am saving money. The QVC size chart and any special chart shown does noy always correspond to the item I actually receive. I need to do my homework or not buy.

on the garment item number, look for the "click here" in the description. There you will find the exact measurements for each size.

Yes, each size starting with xxs you will see about a dozen measurements for just that one size and then every other size offered. There is no mystery about the garment measurements like there is with a size chart. There is sleeve length, neck size, bust size, thigh size, etc. I am amazed folks never look at this!

Speaking for myself, if I am watching a show on air then I certainly don't want to be rushing across the room to my computer so that I can check the measurements every few minutes. It is a total mystery to me why QVC doesn't seem to want to show fashion measurements on the screen, since that is a very important point before making a purchase. Sometimes, even if they do show the measurements, they show them on the screen for a couple of seconds during minute 7 of an 8-minute presentation - long after the chat about what the host/vendor did last night, where they are going on vacation, etc.

I have heard it mentioned in the past that "if you know your size (e.g. XL) then you should just order that size". Well, have they taken into consideration the vast variation of sizes under that one particular XL size? Sorry, QVC, but there are so many small tweaks you could do to make things easier for the viewer, yet you don't even seem that interested.

We shouldn't have to go to our computers to get measurements. A pox on any producer who does not post chest measurements. They ought to be posting lengths too.

Many years ago, some hosts used a tape measure to show the actual measurements.
