@Spurt Whether it's me or a Q host, wearing too tight clothing makes you look heavier. I think it looks like either you gained weight and can no longer fit in your clothes or you went shopping & refuse to look in the full length mirror instead of the size on the label.
I've said it here before, I wear a 2-4 bottom and 10-12 top because I did gymnastics from age 4 through college & continued to train/maintain muscles in my back & shoulders. I'd never try to squeeze myself into a size 8 jacket...who cares what the tag says. It's the fit that counts.
@Shanus
I totally concur with what you said.....too tight clothes looks like somebody squeezed into something they purchased awhile back but no longer fits because they've must've gained some weight......it is definitely NOT attractive!!!! Carolyn needs to wear a XL (and I'm not knocking Carolyn, in fact she's my favorite host) I just think she'd look better if she sized up just a tiny bit.... I heard her say, and I think she got this from a stylist, if cloths are tighter fitting they make you look smaller and looser clothing makes you look bigger..I've seen XS size women squeeze into an XXS and the results was also not good...As you said, the BEST solution is a PROPER fit....
And in your situation that's why I don't like it when QVC offers sets (tops/bottoms) in a single purchase....because a persona may be one size in the top and another on the bottom......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@Shanus@ and @Spurt,
I have often wondered what is 'this thing' about being spewed out ..` I'm a Xsmall or small, et cetra?..
I have very little time to know of each clothing line, or when on.
What I do hear quite frequently is ( and it IS somewhat questionable) in believing, but I can view when someone is a medium or XL. This has to be vanity hopeful sign of Alice in Wonderland for several.
Certainly, I am never here to pin point anyone's sizing, because I am very small waisted but large busted, so I could not wear a general size in what I should compare myself with whom.
I do enjoy the vendor(s) and what are some of the comments being said of [said] garment.
Also, I recognize that Q-factory and D&Co is geared for the larger woman and most look great with beautiful coordinating accessories.
May be that our tv is off center -that could be?
Knowing very little who has size what is immaterial to me as long as I think it may be something that I may wear, but more than often, I shop at a retail shop and try my separates on.
If a host boasts she is a size 1, or in a large, then `so be it.
This too TIGHT clothing whatsoever does not or would not convince me to buy _MY SIZE_ ....much too confusing.
I do find that Louis Dell 'Olio works better for me than any line, buying from TV shopping.
For someone as JT, she is wide in the hips but small in the bust, so she could go up a size to maybe a medium and look grand?
Back to what I have seen of CG several weeks ago, she said she is a large, and that is somewhat difficult to understand. Maybe - 1X or even an extra large.. THE HIPS....clothing should not emphasize the wide hips.
Jackets too small, I give up on the no button to close due to looking too small. Their problem. I would rather wear loose clothing and be comfortable than have the no lady like look that even my husband says, 'she should be in a skirt or dress', as he passes through the TV room.
Again, I did think it was the curve of our new TV presenting an abnormal sizing presentation. And! When did the size 12 become a fat size??. I have many friends in a 10-12; each looks beautiful with a lovely posture and how they put everything together so well.
Sporting clothing then bashing is something I don't do, but certainly can observe. Everyone looks as well as they can...no 18 to 20 year old models with a very thin package, that 'I' have seen frequently, but as mentioned, I do not 'catch these fashion shows as much as most do.
