On Evine. Does anyone else think that their inventory is a lot less than it used to be? Or, without as much variety? Or, that their sizing is smaller? (And no, I am not bigger, in fact smaller.)

 

I own quite a bit of that particular line. I haven’t really purchased anything from them in quite sometime because of sizing issues though. The last dress I got was wayyy too big and the complete opposite on a couple tops, wayyy too small. Their actual garment measurements are just not the same as they once were. 

 

Not that I really need anymore from them actually, but I would not mind a new piece once In awhile with the same decent quality and sizing as it used to be. Yes, I know you can go down a size or up a size - but to me sizing should be consistent within a brand at least. It seems to me the smaller Melissa Minor got, the smaller One World got 😂! Or, maybe it is just my imagination!!

I like One World clothing but It's been over a year since I purchased anything from the line due to sizing issues.  One day at a BM store in the Mall I discovered they carried One World and I could try the item on before buying and the prices were almost 50% cheaper thank Evine!

I also have a large stock of One World items, mostly shirts.  I agree that the sizing has gotton smaller in many items, but also the styles they've been showing this year really don't interest me.  I suppose it's just as well because I may be retiring next year, and I'm already wondering what to do with all the beautiful clothes I have that I only wear to work.  I'd hate to be one of those older ladies who gets all dolled up just to go to the grocery store!

Sizing has been all over the place lately. I'm actually wearing a One World top now and the fit is perfect. I've had to send a few things back because they were too tight. I'm definitely more careful when it comes to the brand now.

One World has never been my favorite line of clothing.  I do like what they call the "snit" material (sweater knit).  I know not all their clothes are pints but when they are, the prints are often very much the same.  I've seen basically the same prints on multiple different styles of tops. 

 

I do not remember the last OW item I ordered from Evine but the brand is carried at Cracker Barrel and while I can tell they are OW, the designs look nothing like what is shown on Evine.  There is also a dvision of OW carried at Tractor Supply.  I cannot remember what the brand is.  That line in particular runs very small. 

 

I've not seen OW on Evine in awhile  I've seen A LOT of Kate & Mallory.  That's what seems to be on everytime I tune in to a clothing show.

I purchased quite a few dresses for the summer, a few tops too.  I did have to send one dress back it was huge not just big but huge.  Customer service was great did not charge me to return.  I did not order a different size thinking the sizing was too off for this particular dress.  I really take my time choosing a size now. mostly small or medium will work.  I do purchase the majority of my summer clothes from one world, kate and mallory and oso. One of my friends ordered a dress after she saw one of mine so I referred her and she did purchase and Evine gave me a 20% off coupon.  Smiley Happy

I buy all my OW fashions over on ebay. Great prices and I usually go one size up in their items so they always fit just fine.

If you look at the actual garment measurements, you will see they differ from garment to garment.  As long as I check that before buying OW, I always get the right size.  So I have some size M, L, and XLs in my closet and I wear them all.

'All in all', measuring the actual garment measurements, if available, is the best way to find our size(s). 

I measure my similar garments at home, and then go to the item site and find the garment measurements.

All vendors'/manufacturers' fashion items, everywhere.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I don't care about One World, I'm over that style and will have to donate much of what I have.
