@emmysmom   I love him and have missed him on QVC.   I have several of his pieces from years ago and they have held up nicely.  He's a great designer.  Go for it!

I can't address the "quality" of Evine's clothes because I think that's too broad of a question.  They have multiple lines and they sell clothes at various price points; as all retailers do.  You do get what you pay for, as you do with all retailers.  I find myself buying more and more from Evine since I discovered the Saturday morning fashion show.  However, I do listen to my inner voice and I do LOOK at what the models are wearing.  If something is too inexpensive or if it doesn't look goood on the models or if it's a fabric that looks too sheer on the models;  I stay away from it.  I also know my own body and I know what works for my body and I don't don't let the hosts' blah blah blah sway me.  Having said that, I have bought summer maxi dresses, tops and this winter sweaters and leggings from Evine and I find the quality of what I buy to be excellent.  I have had no fit problems because I know my measurements and I always use the size chart.  Always.  Evine's size chart is different from QVC's, it's closer to brick&mortar sizing.  I also pay close attention to fabric content.  I do put more "work" into shopping from Evine but it's worth it for me because I do not like returning things unless they are defective.  If you are curious, start small.  My bff and I started 2 years ago with maxi dresses that we bought for a beach vacation.  Those worked well, so just moved on.  I still do buy more fashion from QVC, especially fall/winter clothing but I find QVC doesn't offer much variet anymore.  All the designers sell basically the same things.  I can find different things at Evine, at better prices.  As for Marc Bauer, I should say that his Evine line is not like his QVC line.  He dumbed it down for Evine, probably to keep the prices lower.

The only shopping network I watch is QVC.  I like QVC's format and most of the hosts.  I believe I checked Evine once and was not impressed.

I have three sweaters I bought on QVC probably 8 or 9 years ago maybe longer from Marc when he was on QVC.  I wore them this past winter many times... they are cute, relevent  and timeless.

I miss Marc on QVC .... but never purchased any clothing item from him.  I know you did not ask this, but when he is presenting his clothing items, I can only stare at his stylish jeans...honestly I did not know a man could wear his pants so tight.  Truly, I blushed when he was on.

@emmysmom - I also love Marc Bouwer and have shopped his Evine collections. 

 

I don't believe he has had any new shows lately.   I checked online and see some new items, so there are some upcoming shows but I don't know the schedule. 

 

Evine pricing is not great, especially the shipping. But, they do reduce prices for the shows and that's the only time I will shop at Evine. They also offer coupons occasionally for fashion and beauty which typically covers the ridiculous shipping fees.
