Among Friends

I get frustrated with several of the Q "designers".  The women often design for themselves and their own body type.  They seem to forget that their designs are offerred in sizes 0 to 28.  If you are tall and slim you can wear the tight skinny clothes but the average size of the American woman is a size 16 not 0.  Then their are the prints.  I am 5'1" and can't wear the huge prints and often that is the only thing they offer for a garment. Cuddl Duds seem to offer a mixture of large and small prints as well as solids.  Others could learn from them. I don't want sleeveless either and some seem to do nothing else.I think they would sell more if they mixed it up.

@ginirnI think you're right about the designers but it goes way beyond QVC -  and way beyond the women who are designers.

If there's any designer who consistently hits the mark for all of us, I've never found that person.  I've never even found a brand from which I buy frequently in which every item suits me.

I guess it doesn't bother me, because I don't expcect to want to buy eveyrhing the Q offers.  I look at it like I do brick and mortar stores.  There are many stores that I don't even go into because I know I am not the demographic they are catering to.  Same with some of the Q designers.  They aren't catering to everyone.  The only reason some of them are offering the sizes they do is because the Q makes them.  Doesn't mean it looks good on everyone. 

I've always said, just because it's in your size doesn't mean you should wear it.

I think QVC has an excellent selection of styles to suit different body types.  I don't think the intent was ever that every style will look good on every woman.  Probably most of the lines they carry, I'd never wear but I do enjoy the pieces I've chosen and bought.  That's why they have variety.

As far as clothing on QVC is concerned, with the exception of two designers who I don't care for I can usually find a few pieces to consider in other lines.  I like flexabelle jeans but rarely like Kim's tops for example. In B&M stores there are lines I like better than others that fit well and I'm comfortable in.  Value for the price is also a consideration. So many options for clothing on line I don't limit myself to the Q.

I mostly rely on stores (online now) for my major shopping. There are a few items, when at a good price or color I can't find elsewhere, that I'll order from Q.
