Susan your prices are getting so expensive really $64 for a liquid knit top. I like your liquid knit but afraid with your prices going up and up I won't be buying them anymore. And please can you stop talking so much and saying the same thing over and over again. You always say women are talking to me and telling me they love my liquid knit but you're not listening to them that the prices are getting out of line. Thanks

I am probably a newer customer to the Susan Graver line than most of the women that buy items, I only really started buying her items a couple of years ago. But, still I tend to agree about the pricing - what was maybe a thirty six dollar shirt is now more like fifty six, etc. I liked the fact she had updated her line a bit, reaching out to those with less conservative taste. That seems to have been a big jump price wise - maybe, because it did not seem to gradually go up, it just JUMPED up - I am sure fabrics and manufacturing costs have gone up though, to what extent I do not know, but we can be sure that she is making a very hefty profit. I do buy a few of her items from time to time though if they happen to jump out at me.

Yes, the prices can be high but they are in line with quality dept store pieces. The difference for me is - when I shop a department store I am likely to have a code, coupon, friends & family sale or something that provides a discount of at least 20%. At QVC I have to "catch" a one time only price, buy more save etc to lower the price of something I am purchasing. Add to that the shipping!..as most dept stores offer free shipping with a certain amount of purchase. So..the $50 QVC item will for the most part be $55 with shipping an the same quality $50 item at a dept store will be $40. If I am in the market to purchase three $50 clothing items the cost at QVC could be $165 v. $120 at the dept store. $45 difference is a lot!! I could buy another item with that. Wish that QVC would offer some sort of pricing rewards to their shoppers other than ezpay.

As long as you can find what satisfies for less elsewhere, that's where you need to go.

I can't very often do that.

I bought 2 poly tops from a NYDJ's sale rack a few months back - even on sale, above Graver prices. I'd have gladly bought more, but unlike QVC - that brand offers few colors I can wear.

Price, colors, fabric, workmanship, durability - I've found it hard to beat Suan, so if she shows anything I think I can use (nothing really winter for me) I'm a buyer today.

I Agree with everything you said

Agree. I quit on her brand awhile back, due to reduced value for the prices, mediocre tailoring, and really hating that I can't wear her polyester tops in the winter due to static cling. I'm having better luck w/ some of the Liz tops now, and even some of the Quacker Factory embroidered tops (vs. sequins). Graver is WAY overpriced.

I agree that her prices are getting way too high. However, she may have no control over that. I would assume that QVC sets the prices. I do think that the quality of her clothes is outstanding. Everything that I have received is well made and finished beautifully.

I don't know how anyone can watch what she is presenting for more then 5 minutes. My goodness , she never stops talking. If she is on , I will not watch!

I know that Susan Graver's clothing is popular and ladies like it (I used to) but I agree, the prices have become enough to make you stop and think about fit, fabric, sizing, etc. and the possibility of returns.

Kind of reminds me of what happens to restaurants when customers stop coming in for whatever reason.... the restaurant starts to up their prices to make up for the lack of sales... which in turn stops more customers from coming in to enjoy a meal.... which in turn makes the restaurant up their prices again in order to make up for the deficit..... quite often in the restaurant industry this spiral is the start of the restaurant's decline.

While Susan' clothes are still being enjoyed, the prices have definitely gone up (maybe to complete with the pricing of other designers on Q)..... but because there is often problems once you get the item home and you have to send it back, less ladies are buying (I'm one of them).... so the prices are raised again.... I think there might be a trend.

Hello @SharkE - Thank you for letting us know this product is in need of a size chart. I passed this along to have it included in the product detail page. Thanks again!

@snook22 totally agree with you - her prices are so over-priced and everything is starting to look cheap and guady but I noticed yesterday when I briefly hit the channel and she was on - that her pricing is now letting her buy Loubitan (sp) heels (the heels the Kardashians wear with the red soles)! And,like you said, she so so so so over-taks the hosts but I would refuse working with her if I were a host.....Susan Graver needs her own show!!!!! But QVC surprises me that with all the negative they don't try to calm her down? She never use to be this bad - it's getting worse as the prices rise and her dancing around the floors showing her stomach - it's all getting vulgar. It's a shame because I think she probably is a nice person and you got to give it to her....she is nice looking! But I won't watch her and I surely will never buy her clothes.

Everybody in the questions and answers section of A269223 are still asking where are the measurements.

Must cost a lot of money to post that information and nobody wants to spend the money or something.

TX-starlight — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:36:11 GMT

1 thing drving up her cost is all the gawdy embellishments. They are totally outdated & cheapen the look of anything. I won't buy anything with ANY type of embellishments. CHEAP & GAWDY!

Re: Susan Graver

okaywitheasypay — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 14:02:36 GMT

@TX-starlight ITA I especially do not like embellishments on prints. Sometimes too much is too much .

I like many of SG designs and enjoy hearing (up to a point) her explain how they are designed which frequently is to flatter most women . For the most part QVC is the starting at $50. channel lately. There is hardly any clothing item less than that !

Re: Susan Graver

SharkE — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 14:09:55 GMT

I think what the average buyer thinks is expensive, for instance, anything over 50 or 60 then add in the shp and tx is not pricey to the folks making the garments.

If your a wealthy person that's not expensive. JMO

I agree with some of your comments abourt Susan Graver. I can not stand her constant interruptions with the hosts. She was just in a show with Antoinette and they both appeared to be almost screaming at the same time. I do like Antoinette but as soon I tuned in I quickly changed the channel. Susan also seems to be looking in the monitor a lot of the time.

I am sorry but you have so many other professional presenters that I enjoy but I will not watch when she is on. Both her line and Lori Goldstein are overpriced in my opinion.

I have bought Susan's fashions ever since SG Sport. I don't have unlimited funds for shopping and it is so disappointing to me to see how high her prices have gotten. I used to think $35. was a lot to pay for a top but now they are way above that. More like $54 and up unless there is a sale. Most of the time now I just watch the shows and wish I could buy something. I just wait for a clearance once in a while.
