Valentine Disappointment

Just Bling · ‎03-10-2010

I ordered the open Melissa McCarthy Flyaway heart topper from HSN and it came today just in time to wear tonight for dinner out.

Opened up the package and it was the worst piece of clothing I have ever seen.

First, the fabric reminds me of kitchen curtains from my grandmother's era. The fabric is thin without any body, has embroidered hearts which are "fringed/frayed" around the heart but the fringe doesn't go all around the heart, it only covers around 80% of the heart.

Second, the sizing, I was oh so careful to check, ordered my regular size even though it say's generous fit for ease of movement 7", I actually put one arm in and couldn't even get the other arm in.

Third: Color....ordered the Antler Mauve, it looks great online but in person its dark and drab.

Fourth...It looks and feels like a rag...an expensive one too. For $89.00, I would say $5 is way too much.

It's a shame that something you were so looking forward to turned out to be junk. I've not heard of anything in her line being of good quality though there are many that love her line, I know. But again, those I know personally who have purchased items and the items I have seen....we agree it's junk.

@Just Bling Aww Bling, I'm sorry the new topper is a disappointment.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

@Just Bling Sorry for your disappointment but that's about how all my HSN purchases turn out. I've given up buying there.

Yikes, I thought I read some very positive reviews of her things a while ago.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday in spite of that!

Surprised about Melissa's line ... I know she studied "Design" in college. With all the pressure HSN & QVC give the vendor to keep their prices down--I'm sure "shortcuts" were made, and the "curtain" you received was the result.

I know wearing a "new outfit" always makes one feel special--hope your day/eve was still fantastic regardless of this incident. :-)

I bought a few of her things and they were really nice. I did recently return a blouse because the sizing was off and the material was not good. Hope this is just a hiccup in her line. I have two blouses that are beautiful.
