Re: Anyone else buy 2 sizes of item to see what fits?

@Goldengate8361  I  have done that and actually did it today with the TSV.

Re: Anyone else buy 2 sizes of item to see what fits?

I try to get the right fit with just one size.  If there is any doubt in my mind, I simply do not order the item. Most times this works, but if not, I will do an exchange.

 

Lately, I haven't ordered clothes from QVC. Just too long of a wait time any which way it goes.

No - never have done that.

 

I usually have to shorten pants - but that's not even an issue.  

 

I know my body measurements and can read the "click here" measurements and know how much wearing ease  like for different garments.

Re: Anyone else buy 2 sizes of item to see what fits?

Yes I do that all the time.  When I see something I really, really love and do not see it on the models yet so I can judge what size would work for me, I get two sizes.  Very often even after checking the sizing chart, the garment sometimes fits larger than the measurements listed and when I go back for a smaller size, it is sold out.

@Goldengate8361   🙋🏼‍♀️ Yes, I have. It was a top by Louis D that I really loved and needed for a certain occasion. The reviews were conflicting - some said it ran small, some said it ran big, and someone said it was true to size. 🤷‍♀️

Never, ever do I do this with QVC. It is far too expensive . I will do it with Nordstrom when I can get free shipping both ways. I agree that looking at the garment measurements should be enough but it doesn't take into account how you like things to fit you. My QVC wins have been with brands that I have bought other places like Spanx, NYDJ and Cuddl Duds.

Re: Anyone else buy 2 sizes of item to see what fits?

No!  I avoid ordering clothing online as much as possible (except for an occasional top). 

From the waist down, I'm proportioned differently than most.  My thighs are thick as well as my waist.  It's an ordeal even finding something to fit in the brick & mortar stores.  If I find something that fits my thighs, the waist is normally HUGE.  I've never seen thigh measurements given either.  In a catalog or orline, I can kind of tell just by looking at the item but there's still no way I'm ordering Pants or Jeans from an online source.

I just take an educated guess. The size charts are very accurate!

 

I would never want to return so many items.

Qvc pretty much stopped that practise for me by not giving us a break on shipping for the 2nd purchase when it's an identical item.  But have to say, by now I know my size in qvc clothing.  Anything skinny means size up and any brand that states size down, I don't, instead I choose my regular size.

Re: Anyone else buy 2 sizes of item to see what fits?

Yes I have.  When I return I will ship it back through FedEx and I get my return posted within a few days. 

 

Of course it's not cheap to just try something on but if I love the item and get the right fit it's worth it to me.
