I swear manufacturers and designers think heavier people have necks the size of football players. I'm fluffy in the middle but not around the neck. Drives me crazy.

@CalminHeart @Thanks. I'm the same way. My head and neck aren't big. I always check the neckline width in the Click Here measurements before I order. 

 

Additionally, just because I gained weight, my arms have not grown longer. QVC's own brands have many tops, in Regulars, not just Talls, with very long sleeves...35" for the largest sizes.  2x-5X sleeves in long sleeve tops have very long sleeves with the lengths ascending as sizes go upward. I do want to say that I don't want to bash QVC. I'm very grateful that they have inclusive sizing.

@Kachina624  For me, the "depth" of the V-neck is not the point. It's the width. I happen to like a lower V that fits closer at the sides...and I can't tell you how many shirts I've ordered after seeing a picture that looks right, only to have about 4 inches of skin visible on either side of my neck.

 

I know the type of V-neck I want exists...I have a few sweaters & tees that are like this, but they are all getting old & worn. Finding replacements is difficult!

I sometimes like a wider neckline.

Different but about necklines: I've noticed they call "crew neck" when the neck is obviously a round little scoop. I like a real crew neck and don't call it crew if it's dipping.

I have felt exactly the same way.  Their "crew" necks aren't that.  A crew neck should come up to the bottom of the neck, and cover the collarbone.

I am so annoyed at the huge neck openings and the scoop or deep v-necklines.  I won't buy them; don't like the look and prefer a crewneck, or a collar.

Especially during winter, for sleepwear and loungewear, I need my chest covered or I get cold.  What's the use of warm cozy fabrics when you aren't fully covered and have to use a shawl or throw to keep warm?

I've wanted to buy lots of things but haven't, because of the low necklines and BIG neck openings.

And it's not just on winter wear.  It's everything.

@Mindy D   I have noticed this in 'regular' sizing as well. I quit buying any v-neck shirts.  Just to wide and cut to deep.  I am not going to hold my shirt against my chest everytime I want to bend over.

They are that way in some of the smaller sizes as well.  I can't stand having my bra strap showing or too low.  I do not want to layer a tank or cami under all my tops.  

I have to be careful and place close attention to tops.  But I am shopping more local anyway.  Prices just too high.  Everything is 10.00 or more higher than last year for same item.

 

I get it and everything is going up but I am just not going to do it plus pay for shipping on top of it.

 

I just purchased a couple items on Lands End on sale and free shipping so putting those away until fall.  Fit is spot on too.  


Sounds to me like they have been already used and returned.
