sizing of models

it is great you are saying how tall they are but that does not help with sizing ..... one gal may be 5ft 9 and have a 32 inch bust and another may be 5 ft 9 and have a 40 inch bust so naturally they wouldnt wear the same size .. we need measurments ... that would help tremedously.... also same in petite size .... I am 5 ft 1 and have a 36 inch bust and my friend is 5 ft 2 and has a 40 inch bust . so I would wear a small and she would wear a large or extra large ... how tall you are doesnt matter . please consider this qvc. thanks

I agree 100%. I am annoyed when they go around the group and everyone tells their height and size. And, this is helpful, how? They might as well tell their zodiac signs for all the useful information it gives.

You KNOW we are all dying to know HOW MUCH they weigh (!!)

You want their measurements too?? How about cup size? Maybe include the diameter of their upper arm?
I think at some point you're going to have to actually consult the size chart.

@I always check the garment size chart before ordering. The actual garment I receive is not always as stated on this chart.

I agree that height and size is helpful but I also listen to hear the additional information the models give us. I have a list of the models who come closest to my size and shape. Height, size top and bottom are given by QVC during the presentations occasionally. At times the models will state whether they are short or long wasted, their actual inseam, do they carry their weight in their hips like I do, etc.

I am 5'4" tall with a 30" inseam and wear a XL usually. I am retired so wear mostly jeans and slacks. I can hem a pant but a proper rise is very important. Last night the designer told us we could move the waist up or down to get the needed pant length. At the same time she gave her usual speech about how important a proper pant fit. Excuse me. I will not wear pants that are to tight or baggy in the rise and I do not wear tunics to cover up misfitting pants. I also can not buy a petite to get a shorter length as the rise does not fit.

Most of us are very conscious of proper fit. We do not swollow these misinforming sales pitches.. Buying on line we have to use all the information offered to us to get a proper fit. To many returns because of sizing and the cost incurred is turning many of us away from buying on line.

@x Hedge

ITA ..... I don't understand why it's so darn hard for people to estimate how something will look on them unless the model is the exact same height and size. If you're a size 10 and the model is a size 12, you shouldn't be totally stumped!

Many times you can tell how it will look on you when the garment is on a hanger!

I completely disagree I think it is extremely helpful when the models tell their size, espcially on the models who are M/L/XL.

I am a M-L and I like to see what it will look like on a body like mine. Anything, including a burlap sack would look great on an xxs/2. I want to see how it looks and hangs on someone a little bigger. And of course it is helpful to know how tall someone is. If someone is 5'10" and the shirt is down to their mid-thigh well then you know it is going to be knee length on someone 5'4".

When dark haired, Maria, claims to be an XL, I almost laugh out loud. She is at least a 2X, huge on top, but with a straight face declares that she wear an XL. A new hair "style" wouldn't hurt her either.
