This sizing chart is crazy! I'm a perfect Size 10 in QVC (Denim & Co. & Linea). Have been for decades.

Cannot possibly imagine wearing an EXTRA SMALL and find that insulting to my integrity. Why would I need to feel happier in the smaller size? I'm very pleased with my body and the size I've worn for over 40 years. This line is an insult to females who are slim and wear clothes well. What a sham!!

It's a line that provides bulky, big, boxy clothing to women who will accept it without question. Have those females forgotten that tailored clothing softens and camfloges the hips and belly when seams and waistbands are done properly? Certainly can't be hidden with a tent-like dress or a swing top which makes a female look pregnant! What's with that look over the childbearing age?? Loose clothing simply enables women to stop holding in their stomach muscles and/or use proper posture.

Think about how many women wearing boxy clothing have flat stomachs and great posture. Probably less than 5%. Those of us with flat stomachs and straight backs can't stand ill-fitting clothing on ourselves or others. We notice posture, walking (sign of good, polished shoes), well-fitting tailored clothing. The appearance contributes to the person's credibility, especially in professional and social areas. 

"Put your best foot forward." The old quote is still pertinent today.

@BirkiLady, you were just fussing that you didn’t like the line. What do you care how they organize their size chart?

@BirkiLady 

Their sizing is no different than the vanity sizing that has taken place in the last 50 years. Back then, a size 12 woman had a 34" bust and a 25" waist.

Today, a size 12 woman has a 39" bust and a 32" waist.

@deeva  60 years ago I had a 34 1/2" bust and a 25" waist, but I was wearing something like a Size 5 or 7 which I wore will into my 30's (long after I gave birth).  

Today my bust is 37" and waist is 28 1/2". I'm most comfortable in a Size 10 from QVC after laundering.  

I've grown a size or two and changed sizes, but nothing like those sizes on the Size Chart!!

I would still BE INSULTED and EMBARRASED to wear an EX SMALL in those UGLY CLOTHES!!  My intelligence would be insulted!

Looking at the photos posted in this thread, personally I think the clothing looks hideous on each and every model. I can only imagine how this line will look on real women.

Is this new sizing supposed to make women feel better about themselves?? I've always worn a medium
and their size chart puts me into an extra small, totally ridiculous! I agree, it's an insult to our intelligence!!!

@Junebug54 and you can do the same!
