I'm petite. I do wear a XXS and XS. So do many other woman.

Sounds like women who mention their small size seems to bother you.

Probably jealous.

@Marionnj I'm a little confused. So, if a person wears a small or lesser the host should not mention the size they are wearing? Why? And your comment regarding "claim" is also confusing. I believe the majority of hosts are honest with their sizes, with the exception of one or two at most.

QVC sizing is vanity sizing. Yes, I am pretty small and petite. However, in the real world I would never be an XXS and rarely an XS. Unfortunately, due to QVC's way of sizing, there are times even the XXS has been too large. I'm 5'3", 124 lbs, 36X27X37. These measurements are in no way a true XXS. It does help me greatly when a host like Amy or Kerstin state what size they are wearing.

100% agree. I'm 5'1" @ 105 lbs. QVC is vanity sizing and everyone knows it. I have often returned Xs items that are huge. 40" chest in an xxs?? Get real. In real stores I would not fit into a 0 - 2 size.

PS Guarantee yiu, those complaints about mentioning XS XXS sizing have never worn that size garment from the Q.

Goodness! I think most know your size by now and no I am not jealous.

Yes most know you are 105 lbs and 5'1"!!

Why mention your size and weight at almost every single thread? It is just strange. Do you want people to say-oh you are so petite? Oh I wish I was that small? or what?!

I think you are very proud of your size and weight but I hope there are many many other things you are proud of.

I don't think size or weight is something to be eternally proud of.

If you are hoping to compare yourself to others, it is not something to aspire to.I hope there are many other attributes you like about yourself.

@Marionnj Do you not think very small people might want to know what size a very small host is wearing? Or are only larger people accorded that courtesy?

That would be true if the hosts didn't lie about the size they wear.

Who cares if a host or model wears a XXS or XXXL?

The size someone wears doesn't make them a better person or less. Humans come in all sizes.

You do you and let them do them.

I don't even care if they embellish and lie....

They are giving us the size so we can see how the item will look on us, so YES it does matter!!!!

I agree, it matters very much that the host gives the correct size. Customers need every bit of help a host can give them on size, fabric, inseam in order to not have to make returns. That's what a host is there for: be the eyes and hands to help the customer with all information possible.

I do not believe for one minute that the QVC Legal Dept is going to let them lie about what size they are wearing.

AGAIN....what size they are wearing and what size YOU think they SHOULD be wearing are 2 different issues.

They can't win...if they don't say people post, if they do say people post.
