What is up with all these stripped tops? Carolyn Gracie needs to stop telling us anyone can wear these tops thats is not true!!! If you have a big bust or your big in the middle you do not need to be wearing a strip top because its going to make you look even wider. The older lady they have modeling with her large bust looked terrible in that top. Carolyn we know your trying to sell the product but stop misleading some people who may not know any better. Rather then lie just dont tell plus size ladies that they can wear these wide or even the narrow strips.

I said the very same thing to the TV when I saw her selling the tops this AM. In fact not everyone can wear everything and most well put together women know that. Carolyn wa just

trying to make a sale, and I guess anything goes , mores the pity.

I agree with you but some will buy anything she sells. I did buy a couple striped tops

from Pennys last year. I am not real busty but big around the middle. They are still in my

shirt graveyard buried beneath the things I will wear. No more horizontal stripes for me.

That TSV vest she sold last week certainly didn't do Carolyn or most of the models any favors.   I thought it was extremely unflattering and she and Gary gushed like it was the most complimentary garment in the inventory.

All of the hosts get paid to sell, not to keep us from purchasing items that will be unflattering.  These people are not our friends and they are no different than the slippery salesperson at your local used car lot.

I believe we all have to be wise enough to make good judgements about what will be right for our body type.  The hosts can say all they want that the TSV vest from last week or horizontal stripes are for everyone.  But you know what looks best on you and you can look at the different size models and decide.

 

I don't think the host would have a job very long if she said no one above a size 10 should buy this item because it will look bad on you.  She is just there to sell.  We are the one responsible for making the wise choice.

I thought the collar on the vest was oversized.

 

 

As for stripes, I think a lot depends on the stripes, but some people would be better in an all-over print than a stripe.

 

I went and looked at the top.  I like it.  Pretty color combos with the heather grey.
