The most pertinent info on any shopping channel is often glazed over. On Quarate channels we would appreciate size info on those wearing the garments as well as fabric content and if it comes in a variety such as petites, average and tall.
On jewelry shopping channels such as ShopLC or JTV I love a good close up BUT need a view of the item on the body for proportion reference. A close up of a ring is awesome but I also must see it on the finger. shopLC is famous for not showing it on the hand. There again I say a good show producer would help all the programs be more informative. These stations need solidly good producers.

Unless the models give their body measurements, how would you know what size they are?? Looks can be deceiving.

So true @SillieMee.

They will flash the measurements on the screen once in a while of the model they’re showing….. however, it may not be truthful. I look at the Qs short model Crystal and the display her measurements as being (obviously) smaller on the waist and hips. She displays 39” for a hip measurement, if that was the case, much like Blair she would be wearing a size xs or s, in other words a 4 or 6. You can look at her and deduct the measurements are not accurate. It’s an uphill battle if you’re a customer to navigate the size they are in, they should be in and most importantly what we should buy.

@Tinkrbl44   Might be irrelevant you, but they are not irrelevant to me because if there is no sizing information  available and there was no sizing information or infornstion on the fabric, it would make it almost impossible to order.  

 


@Teddixat  -  It's also important for me to know what size is on the model.  I want to see how a particular size looks on a body.

 

I remember that happened one time when Mary Beth was the host.  She was wearing the sweater she was selling, along with two models.  Not once did she mention what size anyone was wearing.  I never purchased the sweater.

I love Sam Saboura and his enthusiasm for the DG2 line.  He actually designs the fashion and always pays homage to Diane Gilman.  

 

He does an Unboxing live video on FB every week before a show is scheduled and he gets a lot of questions and gives an incredible amount of information.  Then when he's on air he tries to incorporate all that information into the shows because he feels what the women asked online more shoppers would like to know on air.  I appreciate that.

 

I think it's the host's job to give the models' sizes during the shows. A lot of the HSN hosts during fashion presentations neglect to state sizes --a lot of the time.

I always watched Diane an now I watch Sam, but not as long as Diane.

I like to see what he has, and he knows fashion.
