@Secretariat1  We've all noticed in the stores, that even though a designer makes clothes in larger sizes, they expect them to only look great on a well proportioned size 2-6. Although the Q does give measurements online for various sizes, they are not consistent  across the board. At size 4, I can't fit my legs into a size 6 GILI...sometimes GILI pants in an 8 are too tight. Quicker Factory, I need a 2...they run big. Not only can't we judge looking at the models, but we can't rely on sizing info. I try not to order clothing unless very special and worth spending the return shipping if size is off.

@magicmoodz  A poof in my future, but the purpose of being a model and hiring a model is that they are an exact size/shape for the clothes they'll be showing. There are no shortage of models on Q to choose from, but it seems they use who ever is assigned that 4 hour shift. If it's a designer like Louis del Olio, his clothes require a tall slim women like his blonde wife that he brings w/ him to model. Showing that line on a petite model or a plus size will not be attractive on them. 

 

 

 


Louis's clothing is cut for all women. I am now an 8 due to meds that made me gain weight. The 8 looks just as good as when I was a 2. Maria is a plus size and looks fabulous in his clothing. He knows how to flatter all women and is a master at his craft.Heart

I don't watch the fashions shows as much as I use to unless it's Louis and sometimes I catch Issac M and Dennis B but it seems that Issac uses more of a variety of models that wear different sizes; in fact some of the models I've never seen before but maybe because I don't watch as often.

No worries...I just thought you might like some of his clothing. His sizes run big though. I wear one size up in brick and mortar stores. Take care...Woman Happy

I've seen Jackie been styled at times when she looks 20 pounds lighter.  When she wears a fuller pant wth a slightly fitted top and a heel, IMO she looks fabulous. i think she has a really nice figure, but last night, between the LOGO, tights, sausage casing jackets and booties, those looks did not do her justice.


That look was embarassing.  IMO, it made lovely Jackie look like the side of a barn.  Shawn looked ridiculous.  Who is the fashion expert that is putting together these outfits?  Really.  Awful.  Just awful. Let's "Make Fashion Great Again."  Where are the Republicans when you need them?
