I remember years ago the hosts would do this all the time.

Nothing wrong wit hosts changing. Some people obsess over every.Q thing.

I don't care for it either. I suppose the Q has data that says they sell more if the host is wearing the garment. Some of the vendors appear surprised when the host goes away to change. A certain host seems to decide on the spur of the moment that she will change clothes.

Hosts changing clothes must help increase sales or they wouldn't be doing it. Just a guess...

Don't know about QVC hosts since I seldom watch but the hosts on HSN do this frequently especially Sarah and Debbie. I have no problem with it. While they're off camera, the vendor takes over or there's a "commerical."

@pansy67

First .... Welcome!

Second .... It's often done on HSN as well. So what? Why does this bother you? Serious question.

I'd be ok with it IF the host put on the proper size. But every time Rachel Boesing or Shawn put something on it's always 2 sizes too small and the vendors never say anything to fix the problem. Rachel B, who is the tallest and biggest person on the set, always puts on a Small, then looks like her garment shrank in the wash. Have heard her say several times she wears a 36C bra in Breezies, then puts on a Small top that pulls everywhere and is too short. By then I tune out and QVC loses a potential sale. Same with Shawn, who is busty but puts on Smalls and XS tops, then fights with them to get them closed or adjusted. This needs to stop. Why don't vendors suggest these hosts put on sizes better suited to the host? Kim, Gary, Susan Graver (your Beth is also not and XS), come on!

Doesn't bother me ... I've been watching for years going back to the beginning. I guess I'm used to it.

I dont understand why that would be annoying. Isnt the vendor there talking while the host is changing?

Can you even imagine standing in a small area in front of a camera for a whole hour and need to fill that time well? Yikes!

So they showed the colors and whatnot, now what?

I bet moving around and doing a quick change gives them a chance to start talking about the new piece they just put on. Keep it interesting for that viewer at home with a remote in her hand.

It's difficult to fill an hour with conversation and know their shows may be critiqued by TPTB.

I like that the hosts try on the fashions they are selling. They can describe it better. The more models the better.

Hosts have been doing this for a long time. Assuming it helps sell more? Agree it doesn't help when they wear or try on a size that's too small.

Totally disagree.

Want to see as many body shapes and sizes in the item as possible.

Lisa Robertson used to do it all the time. It was very helpful because she would describe the fit and feel of the garment in detail

I think the more people who try on items of clothing in various sizes, colors and different shaped bodies help the customer to decide if it's for them.

There are a lot of things I don't like about hosts..... obnoxious behavior, yelling over each other, personal stories, failure to give all the product details, me-me-me talk, etc. I can't do anything about it but I can do something about my remote.

It's helpful to some / many viewers who have similar hosts' body types.

If they were smart , it could save many on using models! A joke

I have posted about this many times in response to other people saying the same thing so I won't repeat myself short of saying I agree it's ridiculous to have them constantly changing and parading around. How come the hosts on HSN don't do this?😏
