High Point Shoulder

Maybe it's quality control, I've noticed a change. I'm sending two things back today because they're too big. Even when I order a smaller size, it seems too big. That's been true for all the pants I've ordered lately.

It's not easy finding pants in stores that I don't have to hem, and QVC always has a good selection of crop pants at this time of year. I just got my first Susan Graver and the fit is nothing like it looks in the photo. The legs are huge in the back. Is that a style or something?

Same here Noel....everything is too big.

I never understood sizing charts..lol. Someone explained to me you take the sizing measurements and add so many inches for material or something. All I know is I take one size LESS on QVC than in stores. Qs clothes tend to run big IMO.

High Point Shoulder

And in the QVC glossary, this term should be defined!! High Point Shoulder is the highest part of the garment (from the shoulder).

Sweep of a garment is the lowest point of the garment at its edge.

Armhole height is important too for those who do not want the sides of their bras showing or any 'gapping' so its important to measure the height from top to bottom on a garment you wear.

Gapping is usually seen if you have bought too large a size.

I do wish on garment measurements especially dresses that a waist measurement is included on all dresses sold here. Your waist is usually about 16" (according to the click here charts) distance from your shoulder. Your hips are usually 8-9" below your waist (according ot the click here charts).

And it's not like they just changed the size, it's the overall way it's shaped. This will be the second pair of pants I've sent back because the back of the thighs billowed out. Another pair had the crotch way too low, halfway to my knees.

I only know I'm sick to death of the inconsistencies and sending clothes back at no little expense.

I'm finding that tees are billowing in the torso. So, it will fit in the shoulders, the bust and the hip but have too much volume in the center. I'm so fed up.

Makes you wonder why they even offer the size chart. I always go to the ""click here"" sizing to get the size that would fit me best.

I do believe that their QC is so off. I've ordered two of the same sweaters in the same size but different colors and they both fit me differently. You can't win with them.

The best way for me to figure out sizing is to measure a garment I like and compare it to the click here chart. Their sizes are all over the place sometimes.
