Re: Hosts: PLEASE STATE SIZES MODELS ARE WEARING!!!

I have sent NUMEROUS e-mail requests to QVC to have the show hosts state the models' sizes for fashion items.  I don't want to know what size they "are."  Because sizing varies HUGELY among ALL QVC DESIGNERS, for every fashion item I want to know what size each model is ACTUALLY WEARING.  QVC seems to think sizing is consistent, but if you spend even 5 mintues reading reviews, you'll see that sizing is NOT consistent, not for any single designer.  Carolyn is the best at stating the sizes she and the models are wearing, and Shawn is the worst.  And make sure to STATE the sizing, not just say (as some hosts do) that model sizing is available on the screen.  That "on screen" sizing DOES NOT SHOW UP in the video presentations.  PLEASE, QVC, pay attention to this request--I've seen in numerous times in various reviews.  Providing this info would cut down hugely on customer returns--and frustration.

Yet another thread on this sizing thing?   Are you under the impression that measurements don't matter?    QVC has vanity sizing and the camera adds 10 to 15 pounds, so there's a heck of a distortion there!   And let's not forget about how much a woman's body type matters!

 

If I'm looking at two models, and one is wearing a size 10 and the other is wearing a size 12, that tells me almost nothing.  I need to know, first, if the garment is Fitted, Semi-Fitted or Relaxed Fit.   Then, I need to check the actual measurements listed online.   

 

Watching a presentation with the host mentioning the size won't do a thing to give ME accurate sizing.   It's just not possible.   Most models are stick thin anyway.
