QVC's new sizing

151949 · ‎03-09-2010

I was just looking at a pair of Bob Mackie jeans - the click here size says that in a 3x they are a hip measurement of 55" - but if you click on the size chart they say a 3x hip is 57" - so how is a person supposed to get into pants that are 2" smaller than their body? The same applies for all sizes - I just used this size as an example.

Are they pants with spandex that will stretch? That would explain the difference.

I don't know the particular item you looked at, but I only saw one pair of Bob Mackie jeans.

The 3X had a hip measurement of 59".

I haven't heard anything about new sizing either...

Low hip measurement is 56", which falls right in the middle of 55-57 for a size 3X. They look like they have a lot of stretch to them. A lot of the reviews say they run big in the waist.

All of their sizes are all over the place these days, and they don't always show the size charts anymore. I am supposedly a small, but sometimes a small is a 34 hip and I am a 38, sometimes it's 41-1/2 and I have to buy an X Small. And sometimes it's the other way around.

I used to think it was just designer clothing that was sized differently, but it's now all QVC clothing also. If I always went by the size chart (which is always the same) half of whatever I bought would be the wrong size . . . and that has happened.

Pay attention to the click here measurements-- those are the actual garment measurements.

I think they have changed all their sizes again because they're planning on including numerical size 00 and 0. I know they already have the xxs but it's not the same as the numerical sizes. So, what this means since they oversize everything for vanity sizing, is they all get tweaked across the board. It's annoying because now my Qvc size doesn't fit me in most cases.
