I have heard the hosts say they are telling you the models sizes so you can better determine your own size.

Well, I may think I am the same size as one of the women modelling but if I were to stand next to her I may find that is definitely not the case.

You can't know by watching someone on TV if you are the same size.

Best bet is to get accurate garment measurements in the item descriptions online.

Things I would like to see: 1. Hosts advising if something is running small. 2. Models put in sizes that actually fit. 3. Hosts wear Q clothing (in the correct size) with the possible exception of jewelry shows where they are sitting. 4. After introducing a product, let the vendor explain the item without a lot of interruption. 5. Be honest about the size the model should be wearing. Blonde Maria is the only one that seems to wear a medium. No one admits to an Xlarge or 1X, yet my eyes tell me otherwise.

This whole size issue is a real peeve of mine on many levels. I've posted on another thread that both (some) hosts and models wear blazers and jackets (not outerwear) many sizes too small for them. Specifically, they wear them unbuttoned, and the space between the the front plackets are sometimes an entire 12 inches! It would be impossible for them to ever actually button/zip the garment.

Last night on Isaac, the midnight show, one model came out like this, and it was laughable. Do they only stock tiny sizes on the show racks for the models? Is it purposely worn this way to show the shirt underneath? Do they feel this appears teasingly better, smaller, so that we will order? It's all wrong. Representation should be as accurate as possible.

The problem with all of this is that when we get the garment home, the silhouette is far different in reality. We order so that our jacket will be able to really zip or button.

This nonsense XXS business--when did this happen in the industry except on the Q? Shawn says that her size is XXS (and Isaac often tells her it should be XS). Shawn has a lovely figure, but an XXS? In the real world, she would be an M. Does the Q do this so that we feel better about our own size? Isn't XXS a size 0 in the real world? Why do I have to do conversion math? And then I get the garment and it still isn't what the chart says it is.

I realize that there are more important things in the world than to lament about sizing, but this is a shopping network, we are trying to figure it all out as we hand over our hard earned cash. Whats more, with return shipping charges, I would like to see a more consistent sizing and representation on the models.

And don't even get me started on the 'larger' sized models who are gorgeous, and are really closer to the average women. Fit them properly, and stop squeezing them into the wrong size.

Ah well, thanks for listening.

I have never understood why they have 3 or 4 models out there and they are all wearing xxs or xs.

IMO, every model out there should be in a different size.

Thank you Donovan! Exactly what I was trying to get across by my first post.

I agree with everything that was posted here. Too bad QVC hasn't gotten the memo!
