OVC , sizing used to be XS-3X...

Now, it's XXS-5X.. .

JMHO, doesn't seem fair to charge everyone the same.

Think about it, if you're the average woman...say M or L....you could probably make 2-3 say blouse for the size of a 5X....

Iam in no way shaming anyone ...jmho....I realize a lot of people will think I'm being mean ....just logical

They have stores in my area like Torrid ,Lane Bryant etc...for larger sizes....

Anyone else, ever think about this 🤔

Nope, actually never thought about this. They are attempting to be inclusive of many sizes and you are suggesting they be exclusive with pricing. Makes no sense nor would that ever go over with the demographic of QVC, IMO.

I always thought that if someone thinks others may think they're being mean, then deep inside they are...jmho.

 

I have confidence that QVC has given great thought to their pricing and what they feel is fair to their customers without any outside logic.

 

I don't understand the need to point out that they have other retailers in your area for larger sizes. What is the point in mentioning that?

@Sassycoco Boy you sound disgruntled that women who wear larger sizes are paying the same as the other sizes.

 

What do you care? No skin off your nose.

I feel that way because some on these forums....always think the worst....

I'm definitely not being mean ,just an observation 🙄

So ,many on these boards complain about clothing prices

My point in mentioning other stores is they do exist

Maybe QVC since they're trying to be inclusive....would have fashion shows and models that need those sizes....

@Sassycoco 

 

you are missing a few facts

 

1.  the cost of the fabric they use is a small percent of the item cost.

 

2.  the cost averaging to determine the selling cost is also affected by volume selling.   volume selling would include all sizes to get the selling cost lower.

 

 

i have a few more .........

Yes, I have thought about it.  

 

I have seen QVC's clothing prices increased among all sizes.  We all have.  One of the reasons I think is adding more plus sizes.  Someone has to pay for the extra fabric, thread, and time to make them.

 

I have also seen a few retailers in the past charge extra for plus sizes.  It certainly hasn't been widespread.  

 

Would QVC do it?  No Way.  The average size is now 18.  All heck would break loose.

As someone who wears a larger size, i feel like this post tells f
full-figure ladies are being told, "They have places for you. Go there." OR "You want that D&C blouse in 4x? Watch the 'plus size' hour." I know that I am quite sensitive; maybe it's just me.

Are their brick-and-mortar stores that price clothes this way? I don't recall seeing them, but I haven't shopped in a while.

I wear a size 9 shoe, should I pay more than a size 7?  

 

Inclusive is much better for sales and carries over to other categories as people find a place they can rely on to shop for a wide assortment of clothing.

@Tori3569

Well considering size ranging in shoes is 5-12 .... Nah

In clothing Xs-3x....if Ovc is being inclusive....then ALL fashion should be to 5X...IMHO

@Love my grandkids

Ă’h ,my goodness...No ....but you are
Very rude ...
I do purchase some fashion from QVC..So ,I'm entitled to my opinion as well ...
