PLEASE Start Giving Chest and Length Measurements.

AUNT B · ‎01-03-2016

THE REQUIREMENT SHOULD BE CHEST AND LENGTH MEASUREMENTS FIRST. THIS IS SOOOO FRUSTRATING!! IF THE HOSTS CAN TALK ABOUT FAMILY, FRIENDS, VACATIONS, KIDS, PETS ETC, THE PRODUCERS SHOULD MAKE SURE WE GET WHAT WE NEED FIRST. THE CLOTHING SELLS ITSELF AND ALL WE NEED ARE THE MEASUREMENTS AND TYPE MATERIAL, BECAUSE THE REST IS EXTRA. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRY SO HARD TO SELL ME ON ANYTHING, IF I LIKE IT, I BUY IT. THE MOST FRUSTRATING OF ALL IS, THE DESIGNERS WILL SAY "NICE LENGTH, OR IT'S LONG ENOUGH TO COVER... AND THE HOSTS JUST STAND THERE NOT BACKING HIM/HER UP WITH THE 'NUMBERS'!!!!! I REALLY DON'T THINK THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE GETTING THESE CONCERNS, BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL AN AWFUL LOT OF THEM.

OMMITED INFO DEFINITELY DOES AFFECT "THE BOTTOM LINE" AND NO BUSINESS WANTS TO EVER LOSE MONEY. THE JOB OF THE HOST IS TO SATISFY THE CUSTOMER, BUT FOR SOME REASON, OUR CONCERNS REALLY DON'T MATTER, BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE UNRESOLVED ISSUES THAT ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!. PRODUCT INFO AND THE HOSTS DEFINITELY NEED TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE AT ALL TIMES!!

And a sleeve length might be nice.

QVC wants to keep garment measurements secret. All we could get after our protests years ago, when QVC stopped telling us anything on the air except where to wear a tee shirt and jeans, was a concession to imbed the garment measurements on the web page of the garment through a link. Meanwhile they're hoping that we don't want to bother with all that, and that the chit-chat of the hosts will be enough to get us to place an order, hoping against hope sometimes that it will fit us just as it did those 5'10" young and slender models. And now with the cost of returns going to QVC, they have a win-win situation. Besides, some of us will decide to keep garments that we would never have accepted at a B&M store because returns take time. All I can say is caveat emptor...buyer beware.

when the Q started they presented garments that fell into their standard measurements so that you knew that if you wear a M according to that chart, you would wear M in every line they showed. every once in a while, maybe with a new designer, they would say this is not a QVC "fit." but they have abandoned that standard - so measurements on the web site are so important. since hosts don't help out on this, i mainly shop from the web site - don't need the hosts. i just like the measurements and the look of the fit of the garment on the models on the video. this means i don't really "watch" the channel.

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.

It should be a job requirement of the host to give the viewer all the info they need in order to make an informed purchase. We can't touch the item or try it on, so they need to help us with that. Not everyone has a computer or internet access or should have to bother to even take the time to get on the computer at the time they are watching. I've said it over and over, but if I have to do all the legwork, I might just as well go to the mall. Besides, when you are able to take the time to get on the computer, the sizes, colors, etc that you need may be gone.

Too much time talking about nonsense and not enough time giving a professional presentation. They talk too much about themselves than the products they are there to sell. Sell the darn products instead of yourselves, please!!

It all started some years ago, via Jayne Brown wanting only the size charts available to customers, & we all know that doesn't work, one time on air she said something to the effect "well they'll just have to get used to it won't they" then many of us complained loud & clear, so after a long time tpb put garment measurements online, very seldom do you see them on air nowadays.

I for one will not buy without garment measurements so if I'm not near my laptop, no sale.

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

I have tried, but failed, to decipher the "specific garment measurement" chart (which is available on every garment). I had hoped this chart would give me some insight into the actual garment sizing. But it does not. It provides measurements... but of what areas? Does anyone know where the "long front body length from HPS (over 36 inches) measurement" (as listed on the specific garment measurement charge for a IM dress) is located on our bodies? How about the "Across Chest_inches from HPS"? My two personal favorites are the "muscle circumference 1 inch below armhole" and the "front neck drop from imaginary line @HPS to seam". I am just a mere mortal trying to buy a dress. I don't understand that chart. My wish is for a more simplified measurements. I am with @AUNT B. I would like someone using a tape measure for the fullest area of the bust, the fullest area of the hip, and the length of the dress from the middle of the back of the neck to the bottom of the hem. It would make my ordering easier!

If you go down to the end of the description and find the "click here" for all the measurements.

I use every time for the chest circumference 1" below arm opening and the inside seam length for pants. Amazing the differences in the same family of clothes. These are a number of simple measurements.

I also check the reviews while I'm at it so of course if I'm seriously buying I want to know.
