And see I think it's awful. I was so disappointed when I flipped over to Evine last night and saw this. I thought it looked dreadful on Kristine, the host.

Then I thought okay, next up is a fashion TS on HSN. Oy. That is awful IMO too.
@Lipstickdiva
I suspect Kristine was also wearing some slim and lift under garment that did some weird stuff to her body! It didn't look that bad on the other girls.
I like the OSO line and have quite a few pieces. I'm wearing a pair of their jeans right now.
Lots of cotton, reasonably priced...
The hoodie isn't my style but I still say it's got more going for it than the D&C did..

Obviously I would have no idea what type of undergarments she had on (LOL) but she was wearing it with the TTV jean legging things.

I didn't it was doing weird things to her body, the problem was the sharkbite points landed right on the widest part of her body and made her look even wider than she is. I think she was the wrong height for this piece.

I loved the blush and the turq color. I also love the length, and I love the "style" of it. I just did not like the way they put that lace and crochet on it. For me, it ruined the look. It made everyone look 2 sizes larger.

I would have purchased it had it not had that lace/crochet front. It dated it. No sale for me.

I watched the video and do not know the names of the 2 presenting this item. I did not think it was flattering on either one or the models. It seemed really short in the front and the slits on the sides made the shark bite hemline stick out. The colors were pretty.

I know a lot of posters swear by all cotton garments but I find they fade, shrink and in general do not hold their shape. When the lace is a different material, it often puckers or the fabric under it puckers.

I stopped looking when I saw the sharkbite hem. Boo Hiss. I am doing my best to avoid adding any more uneven hems to my wardrobe. I never liked them.

evine has a couple of hoodies with that shape minus the lace.

I purchased this one for MIL in the burgundy (OW velvet) 719-890

719-890- One World Printed Knit & Velvet 3/4 Sleeve Zip-up Hoodie

here's an OSO in french terry 720-822

720-822- OSO Casuals® French Terry 3/4 Sleeved Uneven Hem Zip Front Hoodie

I'm not sure if they keep changing the video but the one that is up now is with Melissa Miner. She is wearing the pink one in the video. You are right, it's not flattering on her either. And again, she's bottom heavy like I am and those sharkbites hit her at the widest point.

The more I see this the less I like it. The lace looks cheap and I think it makes the jacket look juvenile. The material doesn't allow this to drape or fall nicely. It's making the bottom stick out funny which is a big part of the unflatteringness (I know, not a word) of the jacket.

I don't even care for the unlaced version of it that is posted here. I know it's very popular because they seem to sell a lot of them and offer it often but it's a big no for me.

I do like the red one Andrea posted link to. The TTV is awful.

I buy clothes from Evine, some are hits some are misses. You get what you pay for and I probably wouldn't take a chance on a $28 hoodie that I wanted to wear in the winter. I haven't seen a presentation but I'm fairly certain that it's lightweight, more like a spring/summer hoodie. I do better with warm weather clothes from Evine than I do with cold weather clothes. I returned a top this week that wouldn't work for winter.
