News flash! The average American woman is 166 pounds. Are there any designers, QVC's included, who make flattering clothes for us?

That would depend entirely on the height! I mean there is a big difference between the woman who weighs 166 pounds and is 5'2", and the woman who is 5'8" and weighs 166 pounds?

I can't speak for you, but if my butt is covered, so is my tummy.......

And the average American woman is 5 foot 4. Not 6 feet tall.

Those of us that are 6ft tall and not considered the average height also would like to have clothes offered to fit us as well. Often there's not enough fabric to let hems down to make them long enough. We'd like to have pants, skirts, dresses and sleeves to hit us at the right places too. I agree with the poster that said the designers that come on QVC have clothes that suit their body type. Joan Rivers and her cropped jackets come to mind as well as Susan Graver. They always seem to emphasize the petite sizes.

QVC often has petites and regulars and the host will hold them together to show the difference in the length of the two and there's a couple of inches difference in them. I want to shout to them to add a tall length in there too, since there is pretty much a total disregard for us.
