Susan Graver’s stuff was on ALL day on Christmas. Every time I tuned in she was on. Does she have a contract that she has to be on a certain number of hours a week?

Susan Graver is a brand owned by QVC so they can do whatever they wish with it.  Of course what you saw on Christmas Day were reruns and prerecorded shows that were presented earlier.

@Kachina624 I didn't know the Q owned the line.  I have noticed the prices on the items are overpriced for what you get.  

[Kachina624]

@Puzzle Piece.  6es, the prices do seem high because Susan's manufacturer is in China so they're subject to the tariff that has been in effect for the past 6 or 7 years.  Look for them to go higher.

The construction of the Graver garments is superb, the best at QVC imo, which is probably why they've retained that company.

I love Susan's garments.  I especially love her liquid knit when she does beautiful watercolor prints.  They wear well, fit well, and look more expensive than they are.  Her pants are great too.

@stellabystarlight.  I'm also especially fond of those watercolor prints.  I have some beauties.

@Kachina624  I do know something about the manufacturing of the various fabrics in China.  The polyester/microfiber and whatever they want to call the textiles it is made for pennies.  

I believe it's the middleman who ups the price for us all.  

I won't throw in with you on the brand being the quality that is promoted for us all..   

I also don't like the large flowery prints that are promoted - they are not for all ages and body types.  Many are for a matronly taste.

@Puzzle Piece. I'm most interested in abstract or highly stylized prints, never big flowers.

As I said,  it's the construction of the garments that impresses me.  I've never had a button come off or a seam unravel or fray.  Parts that should have interlining do have it.  They are just nicely made.

There are different grades of polyester fabric.  The Graver is the softest and most silky I've felt.   Big difference between its hand and that of Renee's Como Jersey, for instance.

Susan sure knows her fashions.

  Every single detail.  

   She keeps 'on top' of her designs and manufacturing.  

   From beginning to end.

Wishing Susan and family and each of us the very best and safe New Year 2025.  Pets, too!

I do not know but QVC owns the Susan Graver brand. Ever since I have watched Susan Graver, she always had the TSV on Christmas Eve. I always assumed it is because she does not mind working the holiday.
