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.

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.

It's hard to focus on the clothes when he's on. I think he's pretty handsome and to be honest, it's better his jeans are tight than seeing him wearing jeans so baggy two or three people could fit into them with him.   There are a few things I like from his Evine collection, but I don't think it would look good on my very plus-size body.

But I do buy a lot of Evine's fashions from their house brands and One World. One World sizing can be very inconsistent, so I really have to look at the sizing and fabrications of their items.The prices are a lot more reasonable, they have the styles I like, and I find for the most part quality is pretty good.

I have been shopping from Evine this past year.

It's really not much different than any other store. Some things are hits and some are misses. I try to be careful about what I select and order what I think will work for me.

They do have some clothes which are not my taste, but that's okay, I just don't order them. I've had success with the house brands as well; Indigo Thread, Oso Casuals and Kate and Mallory.

I love the K&M slimming options leggings!! I just got a pair in the "cherry blossom" color and they are so cute!

I also only order when an item is on air, usually, because that's when the prices are lowest. And I consider the cost of shipping in the purchase price. Often it is still much lower than QVC even adding in the shipping.

I usually  watch the Saturday morning Evine fashion show instead of QVC anymore.

I just rec'd a pair of the plain black slimming options leggings over the weekend.  They aren't the high density ones, these are more a year round fabric.

I had to laugh though because there are tags sewn in both the front and the back.  Like whoever put them together didn't know which was which so they just sewed tags everywhere.   LOL  

I also ordered the crop version and these aren't cropped. They are definitely full length.  I suspect there really isn't a crop option available.  I think there is full length and capri. Even the vendor seemed surprised when the host was talking about a cropped option.     

The s/h is a deal breaker for me on a lot of items.  I'm not paying $4.99 to ship an under $20.00 item.  I'm also not paying $4.99 per item.  Many, many times, I've had a couple of tops in my cart and ended up removing them and not placing an order because I find nearly $10.00 s/h ridiculous for some thin tops.

I also ordered the cropped black leggings and got full length. I'm not returning them because not only were they super comfortable, they held me in pretty good, and I can always use another pair of black leggings. But yeah, their shipping can be make or break, and I've ended up not ordering because of it many times. However, there are other sites that charge even more than $4.99 for similar items. I purchased a pair of shoes from Avenue that were under $30, and the shipping was $8.95. Since I don't own a car, I couldn't have them shipped for free to my nearest store, or I would gladly take advantage of that option.

[mom2four]

I certainly understand the shipping charge issue. But, I divide the items by the total price and if the item price is still reasonable for me, I will order.

Would I rather not pay shipping? Of course, but I try to look at it as a whole if the item prices are reasonable otherwise.

I know shipping cost is a big topic at QVC, but their item prices are usually much higher, so when you factor the shipping on top of that, it's usually a deal breaker for me. I know everyone has a different price point.
