Pained on?

I know you meant to type painted on!

I didn't see this show - I do not watch the Women Without Control presentations. They disgust me. But I think maybe the ""pained"" on might be correct. They are always so tight it looks like you might be in pain wearing them.

I think Maria Costa, the beautiful dark haired larger model always wears clothes that fit her properly. She looks dignified in her clothing and nothing ever is pulling or riding up in parts unknown. Jacqui and Iris again are both beautiful women, but IMO never quite hit the mark in their clothes. I've seen dimpled thighs on Iris, that would have definitely been concealed if she wore a bigger size pant. I've seen Jacqui wear white pants that cropped up in the crotch, that problem would have been alleviated if she wore a more a bigger size or maybe she was not the best figure type for the cut of the pant. I agree with the OP , who is dressing these otherwise gorgeous models?

It is not only the plus size models who often wear the wrong size pants. Last night in the Women With Control show they had Colleen, who is NOT a plus size, in pants way too tight. She looked uncomfortable in them and kept moving to her side instead of showing how tight they were in the crotch, I don't know if the models pick out the clothes to show or if there is a rep for the vendor or a QVC "expert" helping them dress.

The chunky shoes, especially with ankle straps, are not flattering on all women. Guess many will wear what they enjoy and what makes them feel good...doesn't look good on all of the models.

I also think that QVC's clothing is unflattering on Jackie and Iris both are beautiful women and going up one size would take care of that problem. I think the worse is Jessie, who is usually on with Leah on AM Style and the model Pam.

I caught a few minutes of the Denim & Co. show this afternoon. Iris is such a lovely lady and I always enjoy seeing her. But today the white pants were just a little too much (no, actually they weren't quite enough!) They were just so tight it made her look like she was two sizes larger than she really is. PLEASE QVC, dress your models in the right size - one that doesn't cling to the crotch, the thighs and the legs. Same for the boobs. Thanks.

I think they put Jackie (the blonde model) in pants that are too small.

I'm not tall---I'm under 5'---and very small---I like my clothes fitted. ( sort of tight) ---I'm shaped like a stick---it seems to me that on this shopping channel, all sizes for plus ladies are offered---I don't have the problem of "gaposis" with jackets like some of the larger models have---yes! wear the correct size!

I disagree about Maria. This past Saturday she had on a Denim & Co. top that needed to be a size larger. She looked like she was holding her breath while she modeled.

Also, TPTB NEVER put her in a coat or jacket that could actually be zipped or buttoned. Most jackets and coats appear to be at least 5 inches too small in the bust.

That said, I don't think Maria chooses to be dressed like this. I've seen other pics of her where everything fits as it should.

This is for all of the hosts and models: When you wear (or are forced to wear) clothing that is 1 or 2 sizes smaller than they should be, you don't look thinner or smaller. You look like you are wearing clothes that are 1 or 2 sizes too small.
