@FranandZoe   Especially "You can wear it to the office..."  They have no right to say that on air.  Places of employment have dress codes.

Some of the outfits that they tell us can be worn to "your place of worship" makes me wonder where and who they worship.

 

 


@ALRATIBA  Yes, that's another one.  Besides "You can wear it to the office" they shouldn't say "your place of worship" either.

Never watch clothing shows anymore, so I haven't seen what you describe, although I do recall incomplete information to be the norm.  Grr.  Are they selling or socializing?

 

If you're sincere about getting the word across, make your comment on Kim's facebook page where she is likely to see it.

 

Also ... use the Suggestion Box thread, located to your left at the bottom of the list of topics ... rumor has it QVC actually reads those posts.

What really annoys me is when there are different inseams & they don't tell you right away or keep repeating it during presentation. So you have to go to tablet & look up petite, regular & tall to see where you fall. Time consuming & your length may be gone by the time you figure it out.

Please spend more time telling us about the item instead of telling us where we can wear it!  I have to be sitting at my computer to get details/measurements of an item, because by the time the host gets finished going through a litany of parties, weddings, vacations, etc., it can be worn to, my size is gone. 

Like the TSV today, Kim Gravel maxi dress.  The neckline is so low, I needed to know if the petite is petite overall, not just 4 inches shorter at the bottom.  Nope, neckline is the same in petite and regular. 

So instead of saying you carry petite, just say you carry short!!!!!!!!!

I never write comments, but I'm pretty frustrated.  And I actually tuned out KG the day I heard her say, "This time I really mean it, y'all."  That says it all.

Rant over.

We are not dumb.  Don't insult our intelligence.  Ok, now rant is over.  

 


Amen Sister! 🙌 I once did a similar rant. And it has only gotten worse in recent years. Impossible. I think possibly, at this point...since I think they've been trying to drive people to shop online and be competitive there since it's all changing rapidly and who knows how much longer tv shopping will go...hence having to go to Q.com to get measurements etc. But then why have models? Or the hosts wearing the clothes without telling us their size and what they are wearing?! Anyway, YES to all you've said.

 

I realize part of their job is to "romance" the item (their term I've heard hosts talk about) but romance all day....if you don't also tell me what I need to know...I'm not buying. I KNOW where to wear my clothes! I can SEE the colors (even though we have to be made aware of Q's cutesy name for each, but still, it's all pretty self-evident.) TELL ME ABOUT THE SIZING AND FIT!!!

 

*another rant over.

I agree it's so silly how they go on and on telling us where to wear these items.


"Worship, this springs weddings and showers, pumpkin picking!"

And SG's favorite...."A BLACK TIE EVENT!"

In my whole life...been to exactly ONE. (Not including weddings which were not specifically black tie.) And for sure I wasn't wearing anything close to liquid knit. Retire that one Susan.

I agree with you. They also waste time running around the set looking for items to match a pair of pants or skirt the host may be selling, really annoying.


I agree. They ask a model what size she's wearing, who cares? Tell me the length of the pants, or blouse, don't say regular, petite, and Tall.

I have always wanted to know how to care for a garment. Machine washable? Dry clean? Perma press, or do I have to iron it? I shouldn't have go to the website to look it up. And I won't.

So, no, I don't want them to tell me where to wear it. I'm not ignorant. Tell me how to take care of it!
