Re: Ugh! Why does it seem all hosts & vendors are XXS

Last night, Shawn stated THREE DIFFERENT HEIGHTS.  First, she said she was 5'6", then she said 5'5" then she was 5'4-1/2".  Personally, I don't care how tall she is, but which one is it??!!  I don't know why she says she's an XXS or even XS when she her chest and caboose is so much bigger than, say, Amy who I believe truly is an XXS or XS.  NOT bashing Shawn, just try to gauge my size by what she says.  I wouldn't think any more or less of anyone if they said they were their true size, it just might be better for customers.

Perhaps they tell us that so we'll purchase a smaller size then normal, and feel terrific, and THEN HAVE TO RETURN to get our real size generating shipping cost revenue.

@CAcableGirl2 

I think you have the right idea.  I have always thought that Shipping is a QVC "cash cow."

@Love my grandkids Jane T. Is still saying she's an XS.  If that's accurate, I'm a M, and I'm not.

Shortly after Lisa left QVC, she said on Facebook she was size 8 and weighed 130 lbs.  She's 5' 6". I don't remember her thin enough to wear a size xxs.  

 

Both Shawn and Carolyn said most of the hosts wear shapers.  Depending on how much spandex, they could go down a size, and it's still obvious some wear their clothing too tight.  They could probably go up one or two sizes.  

 

They have a stylist, though, who says they look best in smaller sizes.

I am 4ft 11 and I weigh 100 pounds and I am a extra extra large. That is how dumb it sounds when they are NOT a XXS.   On that note, I think I will have a donut.  LOLOLOLOL

Re: Ugh! Why does it seem all hosts & vendors are XXS

Many customers, including me, get information from what a host and model say. It would be working against the company on sales to lie about their size.

I think most tell the truth about what size they're wearing; however, they're not wearing the correct size.

SK is one of the worst offenders. Isaac has told her quite a few times she is in the wrong size and he doesn't like tight clothing. She takes a great deal of pride in being an XXS. She doesn't care if it's too tight across the chest, can't button a jacket, ill fittidng in back ... just so it's XXS.

Jane T, I believe tells the truth. She is very small on top. She's said she's a XS on top and a size 8 on the high side on the bottom. She could squeeze in a knit size 8, but would have to be a l0 twill on the bottom.

Amy & Courtney could probably go XXXS. They're just very tiny, straight up and down. They look best when they wear the smallest size there is. 

The model Blair has a great healthy, curvy figure. She looks and acts happy, looks good, and doesn't care about sizes!

@coffee drinker - Similar would go for Carolyn Gracie who still claims to wear a size "Large". If I went by her 'guide' then I would need to order an XXS, which would be incorrect . Appears that most hosts are using a bit of the Lisa Rinna attitude that wearing anything larger than XS or XXS makes women less attractive.

 

Something I notice quite frequently is that clothing in larger sizes (medium and on up) are sold out while there is plenty of availability (in all colors) in XS and XXS.

@BarbiHollywood - That's odd, especially all the height differences in the same show. I remember watching part of her show a while back when she stated that she was 5' 7".
