Each and every closing line here has something good and not that good and  also each line has fans and people who don't like that much. This why QVS has not one vendor /designer ( can be more for sure).

 

About price. Yes price increased for everything but vendors has nothing with selling pricing.QVC does. SG does not make desicion about price, not her, not IM , not Linea designer.So complaines should be send to QVC.

While that's true, when you've been following a line since they came on board over 20 years ago and have quite a few items and are willing to pay the higher prices IF they were the same quality as before....  it doesn't surprise me in the least if there are complaints directed at SG.  Susan Graver represents HER line.  She is heavily involved in the design and manufacturing of the products and although QVC develops the price point, SHE is responsible for design, fabric choice and choosing the manufacturer to produce the product.  So IMHO the designer has a heavy hand in the production of their garment.  Her prices have gone up considerably (QVC responsible), BUT her quality has actually gone down IMHO compared to years ago (SG responsible).... complaints should go to both QVC and SG.

O yes sure you can complaine to both and I saw a lot here, but to me complaines about quality more subjective than objective. Somebody  ok with this and somebody not. And like we guess that SG line belong to QVC so in this case can be that QVC involved in production also. We here don't know a lot of thinks going on. And yes a lot of thinks changed from what it was long time ago. Price increased for everything, for manufacturing also.Batom line easier to find something different with guality and price because in my opinion nothing will change here.Again it's just my opinion and this is what I do in cases like this.

That's true.... but unfortunately I believe more and more customers are just saying "no" to the higher prices and lower quality, and it's been reflected in overall QVC statistics that can be found on-line.

 

I agree that nothing will change here unless the bottom line becomes a very serious problem.  But in QVC's defense, I don't find a lot of quality garments out there in the real world that I'm willing to spend the (higher) money on.  Some are out there... and I'm willing to spend the money on them!  Woman Happy

@Q4u You know I completely agree with you but it's kind of different topic. Sometimes go to store and see for what asking that kind of money, just thing who bying this and why. And a lot kind of the same, boring staff. I am very close to my retirement and I guess will shop in my closet. Don't need much anymore, kind of sad also but this is life. Anyway gave a great evening, was very nice "talk to you"😀

I  also  think SG s  clothes are  becoming  overpriced  I  often  like some  of  her  clothes  but quite  honestly  I  turn  her  off  before  I  can  make  a  decision  becasue of her constanly overtalking  the  hosts  or  interrupting   them mid  sentence.  She  make  me  a  nervous  wreck so  I  change  the  channel. Does  this  bother  anyone  else  or  is it  just  me????:Smiley Frustrated

My local Fred Meyers has the same quality if not better clothes as SG for half the price. Plus coupons and great mark downs.  SG is nothing special.

It's true, they don't wear out.  I've been buying and enjoying SG for many years but I only have and wear the pieces I have bought in recent years.  They don't wear out but they do age out in terms of style.  I like to a current updated look.

I don't know why people keep purchasing clothing from QVC. The B&M stores have better quality and prices. If you can't get out to go to the store, you can shop online and get better deals.  I like to try on my clothing and make sure it looks nice and fits.Their prices are ridiculous and the quality is not that great. You have a choice and if you choose to pay their prices and still complain, I don't have any empathy for you. I need petite sizing and they have very little in my size. I don't want to get it home, try it on and find it does not fit. I have now thrown away money sending my item or items back. I choose not to waste my money this way. The discounts and sales in the stores are great. Many sites offer free shipping. If you don't like it, they offer free shipping for returns. In my opinion, you can't beat these deals. I say if you don't like the pricing then spend your money elsewhere.
