Q Talk

I do not understand why hosts insist on wearing items that are way too small. I was considering the American Leather Co. leather jacket presented this morning. Leah has it on at least one, maybe two sizes too small. You would think the stylists know what size they should be wearing.

@sissy01  -  I noticed Leah was unable to zip it closed.  Maybe they didn't have her correct size available.

I had watched some of previous show this morning.  As she was signing off, I somehow got the feeling that she was not aware that she was hosting the next show.  (I may be wrong about that, but that's the impression I got). If that's the case, she might have been suddenly filling in for the host who would have worn that jacket.

I don't understand why they even bother to put it on if it's the wrong size.  It does a disservice to the garment and the brand and is basically pointless if it isn't fitting properly.

Many of them do this, even announcing it's the wrong size.  Seems like an odd thing to do.

@Krimpette  That's on Leah, it was not a last minute scheduling.  Leah was on the schedule for the American Leather show right after her AM Style show this morning since last week when I saw it in the Program Guide.

I love Leah, but she is often confused about a lot.  She has often said before that she doesn't know what's in her shows until she arrives.  I don't know why that's something to state as if it's funny, it makes her look unprepared.  

But all in all, she's a much welcomed host who keeps manic craziness and over-share out of her shows.

Looks like to me the majority of the clothes they wear Hosts and Models look way too small for them to me.  The tops look like maternity tops and they act like they're a new look/style.  Anything to make money.

Yeah.  I don't understand it either since it reflects poorly on the item they are selling.  Instead of looking at the jacket, we're looking at how they can't button the thing.  Don't blame the stylists or the hosts.   This is what they do so I think the orders to put the hosts in too small clothes comes down from the higher ups.   Shophq does it with their plus size models who are truly plus size women.  They squeeze them into clothes that don't fit and it's awful.

The jackets are always too small. They don’t even meet in the middle let alone zip it up. I don’t know how they can even get their arms in.

[faeriemoon]

When they take something off the hanger to model it they're never sure what size they're going to get.  However, if they chose the outfit for the show, there is no excuse for wearing the wrong size.  

Some people buy things smaller because their intention is to never zip/button/fasten it.  I wouldn't buy a jacket or sweater that I couldn't fasten.

if you watch the video she says 16 is her size, and she is in that size, so stay true to size. either she thinks it fits, or they didnt give her the 16 she wears. either way, its obviously too small
