Re: Models wearing the correct size

[ Edited ]

I've seen more than one model on various shopping channels wear clothes that look too small. I can deal with jackets that don't close and tops that are a bit tight, but the pants that look like sausage casings are the worst. I cringe when I see them in pants that are so tight they leave nothing to the imagination. JMO.

I even noticed that on some TV shows and commercials what's up with these TIGHT CLOTHES....SMH!!!  When did PROPER FIT go out of style????

Re: Models wearing the correct size

Check out the model wearing the blouse in this video at the beginning of the video and then again at 3.1.

And - the model in this Basso jacket video. Why bother putting buttons and buttonholes on a jacket when "never the twain shall meet"?

Re: Models wearing the correct size

I'm noticing this more and more on QVC.  Not sure if the supply chain is just so bad that they can't get enough sizes or what the problem is.  I am not one to really focus on or complain about hosts, models, etc. but it is very important that the items be presented properly.  Last night, I was watching the presentation of a button up shirt and the model was larger busted.  It looked horrible, like it could barely button.  I have a bigger bust myself so I am very focused on this and that was a total no to me.  If she had been wearing the proper size it might have looked better.

Re: Models wearing the correct size

What I wonder about .... how come the designers don't say something to the stylists and models.

 

If I were the designers ....no way anything I designed would be shown like that!

@bewise   I don't think the models select their own clothes.  They wear what they are given.  It's the people selecting the sizes that need to get it together.

Re: Models wearing the correct size

I appreciate QVC using larger sized models..It should make a person like me make a better choice of what I "might" look like in the item.

 

PLEASE give those lovely ladies the correct size to model!

Some of them look like they are stuffed in a sausage skin!

That isn't helping me make a choice..It's more likely to make me say "NO".

Re: Models wearing the correct size

And why would you style a model who's a 3XXXXXXXX, in tight leggings with a 'tucked' peplum top?! In fact, why not style a plus size model in fashion that's actually flattering to a plus size person rather than making them look ridiculous, if not offensive, in a style that's more flattering on an average size person. I don't know how many times I've looked at the screen and had to do a double-take at what I was seeing.

I read awhile ago that the stylist I think his name is Angelo puts them in tight clothes as he said they look better that way. Makes no sense to me. I tend to believe it's true because I can't believe every one of the models think forcing themselves into clothes too small looks good.
