Hosts are Hosts- Models are Models

Back in the day hosts would wear and outfit from the clothing line they were presenting and the models would model the clothing line. Now, the hosts leave for a few minutes to change into a different color or outfit. I see absolutely no reason for this! Please, give the facts of the item; the material, color, sizing, etc. Let the models, model. When I'm watching and they start this, I turn the channel. One host who I really enjoy watching started doing this last week. I shop online more and more.

So what?

The more bodies an item is viewed on, the more customers will be able to judge how it might fit them.

So what? How many bodies do yo need to see in a piece of clothing? I like to hear the specifications of an item before I purchase the item.

Yes, hosts could give more details instead of taking the time to change. I suspect they are told to do so by their producers.

Depending on the host size, one thought is with QVC using more plus size models, hosts might be showing how the clothing looks on smaller sizes, so, yes, they are becoming models themselves. Maybe, it's a cost cutting thing.

Also, customers might be calling in to ask where are the small size models.

I don't know, but hosts are doing this for some reason.

I don't see anything wrong with hosts modeling the clothing IF it suits them. But lately I have seen too many hosts wearing items that were not flattering for their body types. I wonder if they are forced to do so. Certainly not every item of clothing is right for every body.

"Back in the day" people would complain that the hosts were NOT wearing the clothing being sold; they had their own wardrobe and felt they were too good to wear the QVC clothing. So fast forward to now. Things change over the years. For me it's very difficult to purchase when they are showing all large/plus size models showing the clothing. They don't seem to be as "inclusive" as they say.

Yesterday, Kerstin had to leave for an outfit change because the shirt she was wearing was buttoned up wrong (buttons misaligned with buttonholes). She was filling-in for Carolyn on D&C. Gary asked if she'd gotten dressed in a hurry; they both had a good laugh. At any rate, Gary filled-in ably for Kerstin while she was off-screen.

I think its fine. They have plenty of time to do this.

I quit watching because I was afraid of seeing a woman in an item of clothing not flattering to her body type.

What has the world come to. . .

What?! Hush your mouth. QVC wants you to think every item works for every body type, thus all the really stretchy fabrics.
