When I saw the topic I knew I had to post here.  Although it is in the kitchen section, my problem is with the clothes!

 

There is no quality control on the sizing.  They are all way, way too big (based on the size posted).  

 

According to QVC sizing I am going to be the size of a pencil in the next few months.  Last year and even earlier in January of this year, I always ordered a size 1X and it fit perfectly (OK, I'm chunky).

 

Now, according to QVC, I have to order a size large (and sometimes an XL, but lately the XL is way too big).

 

I haven't lost one ounce.  I have gained weight, not lost it.  I know how it works.  QVC has different countries make these clothes.  Evidentally, they think Americans are even larger than we are.  They must think we want to pretend that we are a size Large even though we order a size XL or 1X.

 

I've called CS over and over and it doesn't matter.  It is difficult for me to walk around other stores, but I don't need any more clothes....I'm taking a break from ordering clothes because I'm tired of returning everything I buy from QVC.

Girl, I know what you mean ..... I stopped buying clothes from the Q a couple years ago.  

 

These days, I purchase ONLY jewelry or beauty items ...  things I can send back in small padded envelopes where I pay the postage.  I make my own labels with tracking on Paypal and not only save a ton of $$$, but it gets back to QVC Returns a lot faster!

 

 

What bothers me is that we not only pay for the shipping on clothes, but, IMO, there's only about a 50% chance the garment will actually fit .... and only about a 40% chance we'll actually want to keep it!   Not good enough for me.    If I want to throw money away, I could just buy lottery tickets!  LOL

If you've ever ordered from an Asian manufacturer you know that the sizes run very small.

I've ordered a handful of times from a Korean website and at size 4-6 I set my ego aside and sometimes order an XL! lol As long as you read the measurements (for each garment) I find they're accurate.

My daughter did it once (different vendor) and wound up with Barbie clothes!

 

I think with the Q its a combo of poor quality control and vanity sizing run amok!

When I started watching QVC way back, I remember they used to brag about their quality control all the time. Now...not so much.

I ordered 2 of the same top.  It was a dark color (either black or navy) with bright blue on the bottom.  The blue colors were completely different tones.
