Melissa McCarthy Clothing Line!

Hi,

I saw she was on HSN last night with Colleen, I kept looking in between the Olympics and some of her clothes are really cute. Has anyone tried any of her line? What did you think? Thanks!

From what I saw on HSN's website, EXPENSIVE!

I think her prices are absurd!

I also don't appreciate her spiel. She claims that when she goes shopping all she finds are crop tops?! Where on earth is she shopping??

And she's making her own line because no one else uses seams??

 

So you wanted to design a clothing line and I can appreciate that. Why the need for the ridiculous claims? Just talk about your designs; but don't expect me to buy into your self serving social imperative! I go to the stores too.

You're not doing anything so different from what's already out there....

I took a peek at the show and all I can say is it was UGLY...and Expensive....Nothing I saw was new & different...I don't know what I was expecting..BUT I am by no means a DESIGNER and I think I could have done better!

I also toggled back and forth from the Olympics checking out her line.  I did not find anything that I do not have or new that I want to try.  I will watch another night when I can pay more attention.  I did notice that she does use plus models with hips, thighs and booty's.  They looked about 6 ft tall but at least I could relate more to them than someone 5ft 9+in tall and XS or smaller.  Very pricey but worth checking out if the reviews are good.  "Cost per wear".  I would rather have 1great item I love than 3 that are just OK.

I find the clothes attractive, but too expensive for my budget.

Some of her things look very nice & appear to be good quality, too. Not in my price range, though. I'm stalking her things at the Outlet but, so far, haven't found anything I am interested in that was discounted enough for me.

I do not care for her acting or her clothes.

Wow, folks, I get the whole "I hate anything on HSN" vibe, but honestly--this line is extremely well made and also comfortable!  It's not Wal-mart/Target quality--hence the higher prices. You get what you pay for!  I'm not plus size, but I like that she makes quality, lovely clothes for that size range.

I'm a plus but I only own one of her tops.  $79.00 for a simple polyester, cute but overpriced.  If I paid more attention I could catch the clearance prices.  But with all those jewelry channels . . . what's a girl to do.
