More & More, QVC Sends Me Elsewhere to Shop

I love shopping at QVC.  But this morning in the Belle by Kim Gravel show with Mary, there's 100% polyester (I don't mind that fabric at all) shirt/jacket for $63.

I went to Zulily just now and purchased this one, also 100% polyester, for $26.99.

I often use QVC as inspiration to shop elsewhere.

I enjoy zulily if for nothing else than to window shop. I do buy a few things not too often though. I just got 3 of 4 open front cardis - great prints, pretty colors but way too long for me at 5'4" - they hung just below my knees. They were too long, Dodn't like how they looked. Returned these tree. Still waiting for a red print, same style. I really like the print so I may keep this one. 

 

Also awaiting another pkg with a long sleeve white emrooidered blouse, along with two identical sweaters with a soft loose mock neck in black and bright pink, also a soft pink sweawter with a white heart over my heart. Should be here any day now.

 

Anyway - zulily, great inexpensive buys, just takes awhile to get to you.

I'm glad you found something you like and hopefully will be happy @Caaareful Shopper . I have to say, I probably purchased close to 100 garments from Zulily in the few years I use to shop there. 

 

I really found their items inferior and ill-fitting. I discovered many, not all but most, items are discontinued or limited or have bad reviews. I didn't realize how many issues I had with the clothing purchases until I spent some time going through my history.

 

Every single apparel item I had purchased I ended up selling at our garage sales, giving away to my daughters, throwing out or donating. After realizing that, I stopped ordering from them. 

 

I don't doubt there are some items that are decent quality, I just had a very difficult time finding items that actually fit perfect and held up well. Not all polyester is equal either. I have found a couple shoes I was happy with, but just as many I had to get rid of.

🤷 Agreed, 100%. And its a very soft polyester fleece (think Berkshire), thus will be warm and cozy.

 

I did catch part of the presentation, and the fabric in Kim's jacket looks very flimsy, as opposed to your choice. I also prefer the soft blue to the garish neons that Kim is so fond of.

I can almost guarantee that jacket from Zulily isn’t available in my size.
