Re: Note to models

[ Edited ]

Well, I love when Shawn wears a XS and cannot button or zip it up.  I get so sick of the hosts saying I am an XXS or XS (we don't care what size you are) we are only interested in the models.  Jackie should speak up if she is uncomfortable in a top.   Cat Very Happy

@lovesallanimals,  Calling Jackie an overstuffed sausage is just plain mean.  Cat Very Happy

I guess I'm actually in the minority, especially when it comes to Jackie, but I like to see her in Large always. I am a medium and if it is tight on her, I know to size up. So as long as she stays consistent, it is easy peasy for me and I have less returns. And when she is asked, and says she sized up, I always go up, sometimes even two sizes if it is a brand like Gili. Since a medium is not the same across different fashion lines, consistency in the models is key for me.

I blame the stylists!

About half the time, even if I like the item being presented I dislike the way it has been put together. Wrong shoes, wrong jewelry, too many layers, too small for the model....I think this often. I live in the midwest; although I rarely see these modeled looks in movies or tv, I wonder if Jane Doe on the coast - either one - is wearing pumps with joggers, for example. Do women elsewhere wear large statement necklaces with their athleisure garments, to walk the dog? And who is wearing sunglasses at night...indoors??

 

I guess my message to the Q would be: I like a lot of the designs! Maybe I don't care for the stylists' work??? But I'm capable of putting my own spin on things, so it doesn't stop me from making purchases. I buy what I like, and get a laugh out of some of their "getups" as my dad would say.

If Isaac can't even get the host on his show to wear the right size in his clothing then it's hopeless.

Because I sew a lot  and alter clothing I always notice the seam where the shoulder meets the sleeve - that seam should be at the outer edge of the shoulder - on these QVC models it is a couple inches at least from where it should set because the clothes are the wrong size.

On fitted knits (tees or sweaters), this is not necessarily the case. The cut of a garment affects where the shoulder seam falls.

This morning they had Jacque modeling a D&C bathing suit.  The skirt looked like she could have gone up a size and then she turned around and the top of the tankini was so tight, it looked awful. They said she was in her normal size 14 but she definitely needed to go up a size.
