I always go on line and check the measurements before ordering. Since you posted here, that means you have access to their web site, so you could do the same thing. It doesn't take long.

How would you order from this 'click here' sizing?

Chest size in the large is 19 inches around? what?

Carolyn doing the Denim and Co. shows is the best. She's not afraid for us to see her big stomach when she lifts her top to show how the waist is elastic, etc. She explains everything in detail and what size she wears, etc. I like her the best as a clothes host.

Susan Graver is to busy dancing and preening before the camera to stand still long enough to demonstrate any positive things about the garment.

I'm glad your a size 4, Susan, Ok, we got it. Carolyn , is more every day honest and not afraid to be older and doesn't seem to care if people like it or not.

I know your question was directed to someone else, but I had to jump in here because I know the frustration. I think the "chest circumference 1 in below armhole" should have read something like "chest back seam to seam" because it's an open front coat. So I would double that # and say the chest circumference is 39.5.

It's just a guess though...even tho Q has this info for us, it's not reliable in my experience. And even tho I know that sizing inconsistencies are everywhere now, I can't help but believe that all this benefits Q in return shipping.

In case someone is reading this and has always wondered what the heck HPS means = high point shoulder...the highest point along the shoulder seam.

The coat is beautiful...did you get it (or are you still trying to figure out what size to get LOL!)?

So...that is what HPS means! I really had no clue. Thank you!

Oh yeah, I bought it alright ! Paid 115 total ! Raunchiest sweater ever made and I have 2 of his other sweaters that are perfection, but, this rag was a mess. Lint bucket, pilled something awful hung way down in the front and way up in the back. Must had been made on a Friday. I sent right back and they deducted 3 bucks from the total. I paid my own postage to mail back too, so, I lost on that deal.
I never dreamed an Isaac sweater would be a piece of 'stuff'.
I loved the design with the hoody and all, but, was not meant to be ended up going to Dillards and buying one made by '3 sisters'.

Jayne Brown and Jean Bice of Quacker Factory both were against giving chest measurements.. And got their wishes.

Why were they 'against' it I wonder??? Why be against giving more information to your customers so they have fewer returns and are more satisfied?? smh

MacDUFF · ‎05-29-2015

@SharkE

Dang! I scanned the reviews and lots of complaints of piling. Too bad 'cuz I thought the design was cute, too.

SharkE · ‎08-19-2010

I should had paid attention to the reviews that I did read before buying, but, I thought it was words by somebody who was a nit picker and didn't know how to take care of different clothing issues like pilling, etc. Thought just be a little lint, not big ol' balls of fluff, husband walked in while I was shaking it out and hollered "is it snowing"............sigh.....................

You may thank or blame Jayne Brown for the failure of the hosts to give measurements. She convinced the PTB that giving measurements were a waste of time and they bought it. I refuse to take the time to check the Internet to obtain this information so QVC has lost so much potential business from me because I am a impulse buyer and taking the time to check measurements on line is beyond the limits of my interest in the product.

mnmom · ‎03-10-2010

Well, I am not willing to blame Jayne Brown, although I do agree she certainly promoted it more than any other host. I got the impression there was a committee who looked into it, and Jayne was part of the committee.

Jeanne Bice would get so mad at hosts giving measurements! I thought that was nasty of her, and of course the hosts would try to mollify her on air.

As long as we're suggesting, I would like the waist measurements given! Some of us are Apple shapes and the hip measurement doesn't help.

I totally agree that if they have time to discuss their personal lives, or tell us how to wear an item, they can give us more information about the garment!
