Like the look & obviously popular with so many versions, how does the sizing compare with regular QVC sizing? 

Already checked size charts, looking for imput from ladies who have already purchased.

I have purchased several Diane Gilman tops in the past, they do run large, I normally wear an x-large in tops, a large fits better and it depends on the style too.

They look like old-fashioned maternity wear.

I've tried her easy tops twice.  I returned them both immediately.

 

The front fit true to size.  But the back was a knit and fit much closer to the body for some strange reason.  It pulled across the back.  The armholes were huge and showed my bra.  I don't know how you could accomplish that strange fit, even if you tried.

 

Both tops at two different times fit the same.  They were both sleeveless, and had woven fronts, if that helps.  I'll never try another.

I like her easy tanks. I have 7 or 8 and wear them under cardigans and blazers. I don't wear them as an only piece. I always size down 2 sizes on those since the back stretches so much. I'm not sure about the fit on the new sweater variety. I ordered one just now in my normal size.

I think if I wore one of those 'Easy' tops it would make me look thick through the middle and that's why I've never bought one.

I think they work best for women who are thicker in the middle.  I'm an hourglass, smaller in the middle.  I tried my regular HSN size and it was to big in the body.  I went down a size size and it was too snug across the shoulders.

When I was 20 pounds heavier a year ago, I liked tops like this....hid the extra  20 ponds of fat on my tummy....now, I do not need it thank goodness, but I can see the advantage to having tops that hide the extra pounds.

I have many easy tanks and several easy tops. I wear them to work, I like them. I purchased the sweater easy top. Not sure if I will like it or not. The problem with the easy tops is that the back is knit, so it does fit close to the body.

I have tried the Easy Top, but it doesn't work on my body.  The top just overwhelms me.  I'm 5'5" and wear XXS and XS, but except for the D cup blessing, my upper body is thin.  I'll say it's not the top, but my fame that it doesn't fit well on.  I have a friend who is a big woman (large frame/5'10") and the Easy Top looks fabulous on her.  I introduced her to the top as she is someone who is reluctant to order clothing to be shipped from any retailer.  My gift was a hit because she now has at least ten of them.
