Please stop talking, Susan Graver. I may actually buy something from you...

Ok, so I admit that I've been tempted to try a few of Susan's items (tops), but can't bring myself to do so because frankly....I can't stand that she won't be quiet.

During every presentation- regardless of the item- you can hear her practically screaming over the host(ess) because she can't seem to stand being quiet...even when they're trying to descibe HER products!

The constant "WOW!'s" and "FABULOUS!'s" and "OOOHHHs" are not only annoying, but they actually keep me from hearing about details of the items. Oh, and let's not forget my personal favorite: the way she calls literally everything "figure flattering" and every button "extremely expensive to do." Puh-lease. Even Wal-Mart clothes have zippers and buttons- they're not that expensive, Susan.

I mean, does the woman not know that it's rude to continually talk over people, especially when they're trying to do their jobs?

Anyhow, just thought I'd vent since I want to try some of the stuff, but can't bring myself to spend money on things from someone I don't really like. Is her stuff any good?

And I, for one, am happy that she hasn't changed. I like her just the way she is. JMHO.

I've stopped buying her clothing, but not because she just can't be quiet, or still, but because her clothing has gone downhill from the fabric to the sizing to the manufacturing of them. My last purchase was about a year ago and I bought three blouses because they looked like her famous big shirts I loved from years ago. Not only was the fabric stiff, it wrinkled and wrinkled badly after being washed. Her old fabric (woven poly) was silky, drapey and handled beautifully in the wash. Not only that but the sleeves were all about 2" too short for my average arms. I should have sent them back, but didn't because they were so pretty. I've rarely worn them....

But Susan is QVC's designer, QVC owns her company and she designs exclusively for the Q. They won't rock the boat as long as customers are happy with the clothing she churns out....

I don't even watch her anymore and I find that a shame because she was my go-to clothing for years. She never used to be like this.... but many of us can no longer even watch.

I have to admit that over the last 15 years or so I've bought about 5 of her things, and they were all well made and nicely designed. Mainly they were jackets. However, I was surfing by on spring fashion day when Susan was on. I thought, OMG, woman, stop talking and let the hostess do her job. I think she has become worse at this nonstop rambling since I first saw her on the Q. Don't get me wrong, I think it's wonderful that she loves her line of clothing and expounds upon it, but geez.

I'm becoming quite the Susan Graver clothing fan. However, I do prefer to shop her line via QVC.com and watch an individual video if something looks intriguing. I prefer that over watching the entire show.

Re: Please stop talking, Susan Graver. I may actually buy something from you...

Q4u — Wed, 17 May 2017 22:05:35 GMT

I've watched Susan Graver since she first came to QVC.... she was not like this back then, not at all.....

Having tried few tops last year imo 60.00 plus tax and shipping costs for the quality of SG clothing not justified. Do appreciate many people will disagree with me that's okay, oversized shapeless loud prints my $$$ spent at Macy's INC or Talbot's.

Kachina624 — Wed, 17 May 2017 22:23:04 GMT

Fortunately I like oversized, shapeless, loud (colorful) prints. I do think the prices on her goods have become excessive.

I never buy anything from someone I don't like. A list of my disliked QVC vendors is quite long ...

SG's items are nice. She's one of the few on my "like" list.

I hardly watch the Q anymore ( I did watch an entire Bob Mackie show the other day), I do most of my shopping on QVC.com, I am a hard fit when it comes to clothing so I do still buy the majority of what I wear on QVC. Susan Graver is one of those designers that I can depend on to fit me correctly, and I have several of her pieces that I have owned and worn for years!

IMO her enthusiasm for her line shows just how passionate of a person she is, when I was on Facebook I checked her page on a regular basis, she seems to be a beautiful person inside and out, that loves her family and friends, and what she does for a living, I cannot find fault in anyone for that!

@Q4u I agree, she was not like this, I noticed a change shortly before her MIL passed away, & she is worse since then. I used to watch & buy a LOT several yrs ago. Her prices are too high, & I can't watch. When I do try to watch, I am so annoyed within 5 min, I can't turn her off fast enough.

The intervention that is needed probably won't happen....I never thought I would let a host's personality affect whether I buy the product, but it does with her. Fortunately, Q has lots of other choices for me.

-----------------------
I am sure she is a very sweet, kind, loving, happy person. It is her line after all; I would expect her to be enthusiastic. But being enthusiastic does not include being rude!
I have often stated that I own many of her items...
mostly purchased from past years. I love her butterknit tops to wear under jackets and cardis. However, I hardly watch her shows anymore. Like others, I click off after a short while.

I think it is QVC's responsibility to provide feedback to their hosts and vendors. It reflects poorly on them. I don't agree with excusing her rude behavior by saying that's just how she is or as long as she sells it's ok . I consider this part of customer care. We get it Susan- everything you make is "appropriate " for every possible occasion and all your stuff is "not too short and not too long", "doesn't cling anywhere " and all your colors are the best "prettiest green" and you are a master "pant maker" and have the " best polka dots" ....please stop talking and breath. And thank you.

I love her enthusiasm and upbeat personality

The vendor's schtick, in no way, determines whether I purchase or not ~ I look at the item ~

Rockycoast — Thu, 18 May 2017 10:54:30 GMT

Her clothing use to be better years ago. The quality has gone down hill. Her sizing is very incosistent. I buy very little from her line now. Price increases to her line are unwarrented due to the lower quality imo. You can find better clothing elsewhere.

I am not trying to be nasty or mean, but all that complain about Susan continue to watch. Just dont watch her segment. Easy solution. But I am sure it is more fun to watch and then make snarly remarks about her. Again Im dont intend to insult anyone, I just cant figure this out.
