I so agree with you. About the models modeling the clothes, not their hair. I remember that older short haired lady. Qvc is selling clothes on TV. not a catalog. Have the models turn around, button/unbutton a jacket show us the garment, how does it move, what does the back look like. You got to see the garment, some will buy sight unseen, but I've got to see it. Rant over. thank you.

If using real women with real bodies who wear the larger sizes results in more sales....the designers will jump for joy as they count their money.
@chrystaltree I am not biased against plus-sized women as, until recently, I had been plus-sized most of my life. I just think that since the objective is to sell clothing, they should be shown on people who present them well, no matter what size they are. I think Maria models larger clothing beautifully. Her body is well-proportioned and they always seem to place her in the proper size and she seems comfortable in what she is wearing...most of the time. This is completely my opinion and I never implied that I was speaking for the masses.

@x Hedgewrote:Interesting @151949. That was the old guideline I grew up with too.
But I've seen more than one designer make a point of talking about how the shoulder seam has been intentionally placed inward a bit. More flattering shape.
I've seen that designer ... and from my point of view it's just an excuse for a poor fit. You can tell by the shape and fit of the sleeve cap that it doesn't fit the model!

I agree with most of the posters. QVC should hire new professional stylists. Some of the garments are way too tight and are not flattering in the least. Also some of those hairstyles are very distracting. In some cases all you see is the hair and not the outfits.

@Trudey I have no idea how they select the models for modeling the clothes for a certain program. Today I saw a petite model with a regular size blouse that was so long that I thought she was wearing a dress. It looked ridiculous. Heck, all the models look horrible in Logo and it still sells.

The professional models are ALSO "real women" with "real bodies.

I know it's not the models doing, they are all lovely, but it drives me crazy when showing a sleeveless tank, they cover it with a jacket, sweater. Then they don't take the jacket off so we can see how it actually fits at the armhole. Which is what we really want to see before ordering.
