Q Talk

I think they have a good variety of sizes represented. The truth is, clothing looks best on a tall slender person and that person wears a small size. The idea is not so much to show clothes on what the average customer looks like as it is to show clothes so they look their very best and will be purchased.

I find it interesting that two people assume I am "fat-bashing." You mistake my cynical sarcasm for disapproval/trash talking. I vary between size 1X and 3X, depending on what I'm wearing. My cynicism is not directed at large women, since I am one. I was saying that people often think someone who wears a 1X is huge, and anyone who wears a 2X-3X is just disgusting and who cares what they want, etc. It is often the attitude all over these forums, along with age-ism. And my other point was that if QVC had more truly 2X and 3X models, they would risk turning off/grossing out "normal" women, who think of themselves as "normal" vs. "fat", with all the typical politically incorrect commentary. I see age-ism and fat-ism on these forums and on all of the "hidden" private forums that discuss QVC and HSN. Irishrose, you have it spot on.

LOL. Drama much? Sarcasm eludes you, doesn't it? Well, that's okay, hon. No worries.

I think restraint is in order

There, there. Just go back to sleep, dear.

Oh for heaven's sake... It seems to me that QVC has a fair range of shapes and sizes modeling clothes most of the time. I realize everybody wants to see a model representative of them, but really, they'd have to fill the entire stage with models to capture every conceivable shape, size, color, disability and so on, and still there wouldn't be enough room, and STILL someone would claim they were left out...

Since the Q sells *all sizes*, I think they should have a Plus size model, at least a true 1X, in every fashion show! It would cut down in the # of returns, AND the Plus size customers can actually "see" what the garments look like on a Real person. The so-called measurements on the 'click here' feature online vary so much, and are totally unreliable. When the largest model shown is Jackie (who is stuffed into many of her "size L" things) it doesn't represent curvier women who don't dress that way. I have a much smaller waist than Jackie - I can't believe she had a 43" waist 'before', then changing into a shaper w/ 1-1/2" difference "after", on a show!

Women know that models who are XXS, S, M, will look good in almost anything but it's unrealistic of the Q to misrepresent (by omission) what the garments look like on larger-sized ladies! Quacker Factory is the only line that consistently shows Angel (a Plus sized former model) in the clothes but she is apple shaped (not all plus sized women are). I vary between a L, XL, 1X in a top and L, XL in the bottoms; I'm curvy AND I need to see Real Women modeling before I spend any more money on the Q's fashions.

I SO don't understand these complaints---no one is shaped EXACTLY like me---skinny is skinny and fat is fat
