AS a retired seamstress, please note that tunics should be fingertip length.  Mid thigh

is most flattering.  Most tunics offered on QVC are just tops trying to be tunics.

And another note, my sharkbite tops were donated.  I found them to be very unflattering

for me personally.  And I am tiring of the pointy hems all over the place.  Ever had to bend over with those points sweeping the floors or outdoor ground?  Kind of icky.

Designers sometimes overdo a trend. 

It is wonderful to have QVC for my personal fashion outlet, I do appreciate the opportunity to buy designer clothes to be delivered at my door.  I think most Hosts do

a terrific job and the Designers themselves offer much more than any sales clerk could ever hope to. 

BUT as a tall gal, I need a real tunic for my leggings.  Most tops are too short to

really look fashionable. 

All I want for Christmas is my tunic LONG.  Happy Holidays Everyone.

If you're tall, what you consider to be mid-thigh is probably going to be too long for the average woman at about 5'5".  I'm 5'4" and 32" is about the maximum tunic length for me.  Anything longer becomes a dress.  

One thing I find amusing and a bit sad are the women here who are unwilling or unable to put a simple hem in a garment.  They'll return something they love because it's too long.  As a seamstress, I'm sure you too will find that rather amazing.

Thanks for posting.  I cannot agree with you more.  I am not tall, but I find the trendy exposure of, the emphasis on the pubic area abhorent.  I want my "bits and peaces", my "cash and prizes",  as Albany " terms them, neatly secreted behind a tunic.

 The odd angles and shark bite or godet tops are ofsetting to my eye too.  I don't find them flattering on any form and hope for more symmetric, planar outlines to come.

Isn''t it funny that once again the very peple who shouldn't wear a trendy item are the very ones sporting it for all the world to shrug at?  There is nothing worse than flab and cellulite sausaged into leggings with an angled hem that exposes too much.

@Kachina624........Uh huh......I am under 5'.........and I learned how to "hem" when I was in grade school.

As a 5' 2" person.....i find QVC has PLENTY of long length and tunic styles ............I also can sew hems but it got to the point were almost anything i ordereded needed an alteration somehow lengthwise...............i now go to ONLY the shorter tops and it seems to me there are much fewer choices of them.

I am 5'2" and I have never worn trendy things.  Leggings on anyone are ugly.  Susan Graver wears her own tops on QVC and most of them go down around her knees.  Wish she would take a look at her shows and see how ugly that makes her clothes. I only wear classic clothing and they last me a long time.

Well, you don't have to be sad for me.  If I really like it, I will take it to the alteration lady; if not, back it goes.

Thank you for posting this.  As a fellow tall person (6ft), I just wish they would give the measurments for all the items.  I find that too much of what they sell is cropped or shorter.  Those of us that are tall don't have the luxury of altering items.  Susan Graver (on air right now and not one measurment has been mentioned) always harps on about how fit is critical and all sorts of silly comments, and as a fashion designer I would think that she would realize that we come in all heights.  Not everyone is 5' 4" as she is (she reminds us several times every show).

Yeah, I'd rather see QVC offer more Tall and Petite sizes than start making everything longer. The normal sized QVC shirt (NOT a tunic) I'm wearing today is already "fingertip" length on me. I don't buy tunics from QVC at all, not even if they're marked as Petite.

I can hem as well, but prefer not having to alter every single item of clothing I own. It's one thing to have to alter a few things and another to have to alter everything, especially when some pieces can't be altered or are very difficult to alter because it will ruin a print or cause other issues.
