I think style has changed drastically in the last few years.  Not much tailored stuff anymore.  Everything is more laid back and casual.  Does mature mean no jeans and tshirts?  Then count me as immature.  But I don't dress like my granddaughters either, no rips or belly showing. 😄

@MoJoV I associate older women with jeans and t-shirts. It seems where I live that's who wears them more than younger people in knit pants and especially not t-shirts with designs on them--old style not tailored t-shirts especially.

Love the photo, @redstar8. I'd probably wear that striped number, too.

Yes, if you were a LINEA fan, you're right, there's nothing quite like that now. But there is a lot of variety, lots of classic items, and some more sophisticated items mixed in as well. I stick with D&Co for casual items that use decent quality fabrics, and Mizrahi for a few slightly dressier looks. They have remarkably consistent sizing and they give the detailed measurements so almost everything fits as I expect.

What is a "mature" woman?  Linea is long gone and it's obvious QVC isn't going that route again.  They need fashion lines that are broad and appeal to all women.  I'm 63 and I prefer more classic styles; I'm not into loud prints and ruffles and lace and grommets. I find what I want from my favorite QVC and HSN designers.  I do love Marla Wynne on HSN, I particularly love her color palettes.  Her merchandise is $$_ so I buy strategically and mix them with other items.  I think the concept of clothes for specific age groups is outdated.

Nice picture of the Studio Park collections

I would like to see more fashions for older women.  I am nearly 70 and all the frills, flutter sleeves, rufflles, tiers, are not for me.  How about more tailored styles like Linea?  I sure do miss his line!

I too miss Linea but his clothes were perfect for my working years.  Not so much now that I am 73 and retired.  But, I will hang on to them for a long time because of style and quality when needed.

I now like the Joan Rivers line a lot.  They offer a variety of styles for those who want conservative styles as well as those who want things that are more current.  Fabrics and quality are excellent.

I also find that the Edina Menzel line has a lot of very attractive pieces that are stylish but a bit more simple.

I like more natural fabrics so Susan Graver is a no go for me.

Hope you will take time to look at the variety of clothing lines on QVC.  I'm sure you will find quality items that will work for you.

I think what one might consider mature fashions, another might not.  We're all different in what we think suits us, no matter the age.  I will soon be 71 and I try to dress in what I feel is an age approprate way.  I still like fashion a lot and try to be somewhat current, and maybe a few things I wear some people might think are not sedate enough for a woman of my age.  However, I buy what I like and what makes me happy.

I'm older and find classic items on QVC. I stay away from Candace Bure's fashions because it seems they're made for younger ladies and aren't the timeless fashions I prefer to wear. Even when I was a lot younger and buying clothes for the office, I would only buy what I call one season clothing in the summertime and not expect the style or even the clothes to last more than that. Since QVC has stopped airing many fashions, or anything for that matter, it's best to do a search and see what's available. You can sort out any line that's not for you.

@bargainsgirl .................I am not a ruffle frilly type and never have been.  However, I see a lot of items that are suitable for me and Im 78.  Granted I think you have to watch carefully, at least I do to find what I am looking for.

Also, I shop other places online.
