@makenaYou're right.  There are lots of other places to shop. 

 

But here's the irony I see in OP's plaint:  Although right now, I'm not a plus size, when I was QVC was actually one of the better places to look for a variety of choices.  There's not all that much plus size elsewhere - at least I didn't find it within my chosen price range for clothing.

 

Yes, they show plenty of things I couldn't wear as a 1X - but I can't wear them now at size 10 either!  Still picking and choosing and finding limited choices that fit my particular body, but one of my favorite pants came from QVC - a Graver pant at 1/2 the price of another favorite from a local shop!

Now days anyone with a computer can find anything they want.  Lots of options exist for all of us!  I am very thankful for the variety.

I am pretty sure that Angel said on a show that those Dreamjeanes were coming back in the bootcut...they were just going to update them

I do a lot of my shopping online as well QVC.  There is a HUGE difference when you can see the clothes on a model that is moving versus a photo.

  My issue with QVC right now is the sizing.  It is so inconsistent within different brands AND within the same brand, AND within the same item but different colors . I find the returns so frustrating .

If QVC only catered to small sized people, they would go out of business... I see all kind of models... super skinny, average and large. I do not understand the OP's problem.

Trying to be objective -- Models are varied sizes on QVC and clothes range covers more sizes than brick and morter stores. I'm a 12/14. Never offended by the smaller models. Appreciate petite pants, when I need them. More petite options than stores.

I understand the posters complaint......the largest sizes they usually show is mainly XL and occassionally a size 1X....they never show a 2X or 3X......that would be like only showing a size XS or S  and not a size M or L in regular sizes.....just because they throw in a XL or 1X(rarely) in the mix sometimes....there always seems to be a overabundance of XS, S, ................

So i totally understand....and skinny jeans in the larger sizes aren't that complimentary....i usually wear a XL myself so i know...............so i hope everyone looks at it from both sides..............i think the thing that gets to ME

more then anything is having 90% of the models be 5'10"

tall....even the few plus size models are that tall....lately they have brought in a few petite size models which have been a help....but nothing like a 1X petite size.....only XS

S or 1 med size petite model i have seen.....they should show more 5'4" - 5' 6" models....average height .....i just don't see that many 5' 10" women walking around as an average size shown for women......

I am a plus size and I think QVC does a GREAT GREAT JOB.  I am old enough to remember when only ONE....ONE ...Store sold plus sizes....ROMANS via mail order catalogs.

 

We plus size are so BLESSED to have QVC, HSN, all the varous vendors....As a plus size, I can get clothes anywhere....target, old navy, talbots, macys etc. 

 

If a person is over a 3X then the best place is other vendors but QVC does a great job.  Also I remember HSN used to sell 4X and 5X about 20 years ago and they had to stop, I don't know if the items were selling.

 

As far as appearance in clothes, it is a personal taste issue. Some people like more fitted clothes, others like loose clothes.  The model's job is to show the item, a person does not have to wear it like that.

 

QVC is great and I'm tell you I THANK GOD every day for QVC!!!

Even on some of the models, they look horrible in them.  I have large thighs and the only jeans that fit me were the Dream Jeanes boot cut that were discontinued.  QVC start thinking of all sized people!


@AZ MO

 

While someone said that QVC sells sizes up to 3X, that doesn't mean that a style will look good on someone just because QVC offers that size.....I'm a medium and some of the styles look awful on me... a peblum styled top from Issac made me look like I was ready to go to the hospital maternity ward to deliver.....and your right leggings don't look good on all body types...OY!!!   I've caught to a little WARNING SIGN--BUYER BEWARE....when I see a clothing style and only the models that are XXS are showing an item that's big red WARNING--..I know that item would look awful on a size medium on up.....and that's why other sized models werent chosen to present it........
