I've noticed that new QVC product details are now sometimes placed within a rambling paragraph in italicized text. I found the details difficult to find and difficult to read in that format. I googled and learned that italicized sections can be more difficult for readers.
Here's an example from LOGO #499600:
This trend-right top taps into one of this season's most popular looks, with a sun-faded wash and flirty peplum hem. Team it with skinny jeans and ankle-strap heels, and exude cool-girl vibes wherever you go. From LOGO by Lori Goldstein®.
I'd much rather have the details in the regular outline style and not italicized, especially when dimensions of a product or more sizing info is included.
Have you seen any QVC product details listed in an italicized paragraphs? What are your thoughts?

@Desert Lily - Yes, I have seen the italicized text and prefer the old way the descriptions were listed.

Obviously, those who chose small, close together italics have minimal background in text readability. Italics are harder for many groups of people to read. Heaven forbid, someone is reading such text on a phone.

I haven't seen or noticed it, as I don't shop much anymore. But I don't even get the casual use of italicization. The purpose of doing it with an entire sentence/paragraph/thought is meant ONLY for when you are quoting somebody else.
Every now and then I see that here and I keep trying to figure out who they are quoting because it's not at all clear.
