I always like looking at new fashion lines. The ponte skirt and pants look interesting, but I really prefer to try on bottoms before buying so it's doubtful I would purchase.  As I've posted many times, I'm glad there are so many choices for women in clothing. Personal style is just that - personal. I will add that their size chart made me do a double take. 😳 😳

I'm confused, @BirkiLady.  You say you are a size 10 at QVC which means you are a 12 at retail (B/M).  If you have a 28" waist you should be a size 6. It sounds like you are wearing a bigger size than is necessary.

Perhaps those making the decisions about what to offer for sale might consider offering a version of "pop-up shops" that feature  more contemporary or avant-garde styles. The Q's demographic seems to be middle-aged or older women that are comfortable with a particular look and comfort; they don't want the prices or styles sold by Max Mara, Anthropologie, Rag and Bone, etc.

It's quite possible hip measurements may require a larger size.  This fashion sizing isn't all it's cracked up to be.

@gertrudecloset @Thank you.  That makes sense.  It just seems like the larger size that accommodates the hips would be very loose around the waist.  It sounds like it works for her, though.
