They probably use AI to write these fit suggestions based on the text in the garment description and the general QVC size chart.

@NYCLatinaMe I always look at the actual garment measurements as well as reviews stating it runs small or large. However, that can vary within the same garment, one review can state it runs small whereas the very next review says it runs large. If people would just state their body measurements it would be most helpful.

I have discovered within the last couple months I am given my size recommendation on a few items. I find this is pretty accurate. 

As for the What's My Size?, I glance at it but don't pay much attention.

Whenever I get a purchase where I love the fit, I go to the "click here" size guide and write down the measurements that work for me. Whenever I see something I'm interested in, I always look at that guide to see if they'll work for me. That's one reason I purchase from QVC, I've seen no other online companies that do this. I'll stick with this as long as it works. This guide is a make or break for me since QVC's sizing can be all over the place. I do know that "skinny jeans" will never work for me since I carry my weight in the hips/legs. Joan Rivers clothes are always very much oversized so I always can tell if I need my regular medium size or go down to small. I find it the most helpful guide for me.

So I bought one size down from my regular size based on garment measurements and disregarding the fit designation that it "RUNS SMALL", and the top, one size down, fits me perfectly!

That is because my shoulders are on the small side of my size, but for those of you that are busty, I recommend stay true to size.  The top has a lining, and the lining just fits my bust, so if I was bustier, it would have stretched the lining, which would be noticeable through the translucent organza top that would have probably still fit, but would not be a good look IMO.

The top is very pretty.

I do feel misled by the presentation.  The shoulders and back yoke are cotton/modal, and Amy said something that I took to mean that the lining was the same cotton/modal (not rewatching, but I think she said something like "there is a whole t-shirt underneath" while pointing out the cotton/modal accents), which I thought would make the fact that the organza layer is 100% poly ok with me.  

In fact, the lining is nothing like the cotton/modal accents.  It is 100% poly that feels like stretchy poly lingerie.  I don't buy 100% poly tops any more, and most likely I wouldn't have bought the top if I had known that.  The description does state "lining 100% polyester", but it is confusing since the organza top is also 100% poly, which I knew, and I have seen confusing and erroneous material descriptions in the QVC website in the past.

The top is pretty, it is loose, so I may keep it.  But feeling misled.  It is in the short side, which is a good thing for shorty me.

I always check garment measurements first. Love that the Q has those for clothing items. Then, I check to see the fit of the garment in the description. Works for me most of the time. 

I don't think I need a fit guide suggesting what my best fit would be. I've seen those on other sites, and they don't really help me. What helps me most is garment measurements and previous brand experience. 

Have a Great Week!

Agree @wilma. Those garment measurements are what keeps me shopping here.

QVC, I go by after the description where it says

click here for the measurements for this item

Then it brings up the guide.

Sometimes it will say "fitted" in description I keep walking. "relaxed, fit, I love, built more for the average

full busted woman.   Semi-fitted is ok. Just pay attention to the bust and hip measurement.

Over at HSN it is a nightmare !! It's all a guessing game

you got "measurements for this garment", then , it's got "fit guide", then if your lucky they will show on the TV exactly the red guide I rush to read the large and xlarge to see the bust measurement.  Sometimes they

have a 'large' bust as 40 ! huh? not gonna cut it for me.

Denim &Co. I can't go wrong.  I can even wear a medium in Gary's oversized sweat shirts!!   He designs for the average woman.  All the hip sizes are usually too big and I have to pay another 10 to the seamstress to take it in on both sides. Denim and Co. comes the closest to my body shape.

I did that on the NIc + Zoe and it was 2 sizes too big.  I should have used my standard QVC measurements.  Now I am paying shipping back and forth.

[SharkE]

I wait till they show the on screen measurement guide at HSN

I go by it. Don't think QVC does that.

Figured out their game.

I always use the "specific garment measurements" information.  When they give the model's height as a guide to size, that doesn't do anything for me, and is useless.  I need waist size, and bust size to determine if the item will fit me.  I never rely on the slide bar feature, and, if you read the reviews, for the same item, some say it runs large, and some say it runs small.  If QVC gets rid of the specific garment measurement, I guess I'll save money because I won't buy!  lol

I've been measuring my best fitting pants in the same fabric as the item I'm interested in.

Then, I go to the 'click here' for this item and find those measurments. 

I order the size that resembles what I already own, as long as it's the same/similar fabric.

That has more or less worked for me, so far.
