On last night's Issac Mizrahi show, Rebecca was on again .... and she is clearly about a 2X.

I have tried on enough clothes and observed enough models and hosts to have a good sense of what will and won't look good on me. My problem is that I'm busty and some tops end up looking like maternity wear.

You can't have EVERY body type on every show. It would be a logistical nightmare!

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...

iTA!

That's true. I'm the size of some of the models, but I'm probably 10" shorter. Some of us are bustier, some hippier, etc. They cannot show every different figure type. After you buy from QVC for a while you have a pretty good idea of the size to order and get an idea of how it may look. I will never look like the models! Also, I think the brunette Maria was a 1X a long time ago. I think they try to have a good representation of models.

I too would like to see plus models on EVERY clothes show. By PLUS I mean PLUS 1X and larger. Give all women a chance to see what they might look like.

Some of the designer do not make clothes any larger than a size 16 and they are missing a huge portion of women they could be selling to. So often I go into a store and see so many things that I would love to have in a 1X and I would look good in them if they would just make them in the larger sizes.

What is really funny is when even the show host and the models look HUGE in a small size.

Don't worry, be Happy!
