Nothing on Q fits me anymore.  I got the letter for too many returns.  If they would make tthings for petites my returns would not happen.  I can shop else where and get petites and more attractive clothes.   These droopy jackets and tops are VERY unattractive.

Yes. Not every petite is an xxs. I'm a Medium and need a  petite size. I also have had many returns and am awaiting the dreaded letter! I refuse to keep something that does NOT fit!

You would think with all the stick models they have that they would do more for the petite.  Instead of this stupid Q2 channel which is not "live" for very long.....they would take advantage of another channel that only specializes for the petite but anymore....QVC caters to the XL to XXL and the extra wide shoes and the size DDDD bras and everything huge.  Anymore I even dislike reading the reviews on a clothing item because it seems to me at least 75% of the reviews complain the clothes and shoes run small and they even admit they are on the large size so....cannot get accurate reviews on the clothing.  They need a petite QVC or and extra large QVC channel instead of the stupid Q2 and Beauty chennels.

I don't buy clothing from QVC.  I wear a petite size and they don't offer my size in things that I would be interested in.

 

In the past, I purchased d&co petal pushers that fit for about 1-2 hours, then they grew and looked sloppy with the crotch of the pants near my knees.  I couldn't keep them up.

 

I buy shoes once in a while, but usually I can find exactly what QVC offers on Amazon for less money and free shipping.

 

i don't watch QVC much anymore.  I just look on line to see what they are offering.  I used to take days offf from work to watch the whole day Iike for silver creed or all day gems.  Now I am home and hardly ever watch.

I am a petite but wear a large or x-large.  I have stopped trying to buy clothing from QVC as even some of their petite pants have a 29 inch inseam which is too long.  QVC is missing out on a lot of business but I'm sure the tall ladies feel the same way.  I buy shoes because I like the option of buying on easy pay but that is really all I buy from QVC any more.  My clothing dollars are spent at the Mall since I enjoy going out to shop.

It is what it is!!!

I went into Lord and Taylor to shop in their Petite Department where I have shopped for years.  It was GONE!  They told me they closed it but would offer a discount on hemming!  That is not the same thing!  My go to is Talbots who offer almost every item in Petite.  Love that store!

I really don't understand the problem with offering Petites in almost every style.  I am still reading that the average American woman is approximately 5'4" in height and a size 14.   That rings closer to a petite for me than the regulars being offered everywhere. 

 

But last week I ordered a pair of slacks from a Kasper collection. They arrived, the packaging said Petite, but the inseam measured 32 inches. The package was sealed, and the tag inside said Petite.  What????

QVC says they cut the garment for a petite, but I kind of doubt that or the clothes would fit better. I think they really just hem the stuff shorter. I can wear a petite size on top, but for a pant or jeans I really need a petite rise and an inseam of at least 28 for flat shoes and a 29 for heels. I guess you can't please everybody. I know women who are so called average height and they need to hem their pants and long dresses and skirts.

I buy a little Linea, but other than that I have quit buying clothing from QVC.  I requested petites for years, but they hardly ever had them.  I recently tried Isaac's jackets and had to return them--too long and sleeves too long.  Won't try again because it costs too much to do returns.  I'm shopping online for clothing from dept. store and can do returns easily and I always get free shipping plus discounts wth their code.    Years ago most of my wardrobe was Susan Graver.  Now her clothes are too big, too bold and too expensive.  Plus I can't watch her any more.
