Well, I agree with you. I am similar in build and height to some of the models and I want to know what they wear so I can make an informed decision based on all of the information the hosts can give me. I don't think that is asking too much at all.

For the life of me, I don't understand why you are so darn confused about this.  

If you have two models wearing the same garments, and one is a size Large and the other is a size X-Large, does it really make that much difference?  

What also has to be factored in is individual body type .... the QVC vanity sizing ..... and the fact that the camera makes those models look 10 to 15 pounds heavier than they actually are!  If they are wearing shapewear like Spanx, you can only guesstimate.

Go back to the drawing board ....  Measure  all the parts of you and compare them to the sizes posted for the garment.   It's not rocket science.

@I know my measurements, I read reviews when given and I also check the garment measurement chart.   All of this does help but only if the item I receive is true to the chart within reason.   Only certain designers seem to run true to size consistently.

They could probably get their weight from the modeling agency............That would be "nicer" than having a scale on the stage.

I think it helps. I'm often in between sizes so knowing gives me an idea. Once Carolyn had said a fabric was extra stretchy, (but it also ran big, the latter she omitted, but maybe she has to hint that) I took a chance and sized down and I never do with pants. If I didn't know what size they were wearing, I'd have had to return it.

On my television there is always a small blocked off area in the upper left corner telling the height, top size and bottom size for each model on the show.  It is not there the entire hour, but once or twice during the hour..  There is also the measurement chart.  The host telling you what size the model or she is wearing is not accurate. because in a few cases the host or model who says they are in large, for example,  need to size up.  

Much is experience from from different brands.  I have found frequently SG, B. Mackie, QF all run a bit big.  Linea, D&C, JR, Basso, IM, C Wonder true to size.  Clinton Kelly runs small. I don't buy  Logo, but it looks to me like it fits the very slender models nicely, but not so much on the larger girls.  This has been my experience, others may feel differently.  But going by what the models or hosts say they are wearing would be my last choice for an accurate fit.

I'm shaking my head reading some of these comments.  It would be no big deal for the hosts to share the sizes of the models.   Some of them already do.  It IS helpful to see them and get an idea of fit, based on a number of factors  ....  and YES, I most certainly do KNOW MY SIZE,  however, not only are various lines sized differently, but even in the same line things are not all the same.  I'm more familiar with Linea,  but sometimes I may want a S, sometimes an XS,  and if it's a line that I've never purchased from, it's certainly helpful.  I've taken from an XXS to a M in the different clothing offered.

  I always try to see the size on the hanger to get a guide, but knowing the size the model has on is best.  It truly is no big deal and more helpful to some of us than not.  I personally would rather get that info than a good portion of what is talked about when the clothes are being shown.

Knowing the size of the model is really no help to me.  I have to look at the measurements and go from there. 

Seeing it on a live person just shows me what the garment looks like - how it hangs or drapes.

@Bri36I agree -  there will never be a model with my figure, but seeing a garment on someone else does tell me more about it than seeing it just on a hanger.

Also -  I don't know why so many people think hosts have to keep giving the size info when they already don't believe what the hosts tell them about their size or even what some models tell them.  I'm in Jeanne Bice's camp on this one -  when I really want to know, I check the click here sizes because even when they give them on the TV, I can't see them all at once and decide for sure.
