I watch a lot of QVC and there is always a plus size model in the clothing shows.

I agree.  Jackie is the plus size model I see the most, and she is only a Large!  Correct me if i'm wrong, but I've NEVER seen a 2x or 3x model.

Yes, I saw one when Lisa Rinna was on.

At least no one claims to be a 2x or 3x.   I believe Jessica (one of the redheads is also a plus size).

I believe I read somewhere that the models do not work for QVC but are sent from an agency. They can schedule their work schedules around their personal needs. Most of them are married and have families.

How large are we talking here? I do not think that any shopping channel has a 1 or 2X model. Why not?  I do not know. I think they should have models for all sizes

They use plus size models on all the fashion segments.  That's what I love about QVC.

They are there.  Through the years most have lost weight to appear less large.

Rebecca, the plus sized model who's on a lot of Isaac's Monday night shows, is a 1x.    Since the camera ADDS 15 pounds, what is the problem?   Maybe there aren't a lot of plus size models living in the West Chester area?  

 

Frankly, there isn't a huge difference between a Large and a 1x  (in QVC sizes) .....  and nothing is going to look EXACTLY the same on you unless your body type and measurements are the same, and maybe not even then.
