i would have gladly purchased a few pairs of the Lisa Rinna TSV if only you would have offered it in TALL length.  Ironically, this style can be  worn a bit long and puddled slightly around the ankle, but looks stupid if too short.  Surely the fashion experts at the Q know this but still refuse to offer a longer length than 29 or 30 inches.

They need to really work on offering more lengths period. Tall and short. Tall because you can't add fabric. Short because I shouldn't have to take it to be shortened.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Yes.  These should have been offered in 34" inseams.  The puddling  around the ankles would look  good.  Too bad we tall long legged gals were neglected.

I'm only 5'5", but I seriously need at least a 32" inseam.  It annoys me when they say tall is for 5'7" or taller......really?  It all depends on your body. Sometimes even the tall sizes are too short on me......and I hate floods!

Tall AND short people are not on QVC's radar.  I pass on a lot of things because of that.

I agree with you all.  QVC claims to have such a huge customer base, yet more often than not leaves out the talls.   It's very annoying to see them offer regular, plus and petite but no tall.  They'll often have a petite that's a few inches shorter than regular, so why can't they offer a tall a few inches longer than regular?  Then they say that you can order both regular and petite so you can wear different heel heels.  Graver and a couple of others always harps on about how the fit is critical, but I guess that only applies to those that are 5'4" as Graver tells us she is several times an hour.  We'd all like to have our pants fall at the correct length, whether they are full length, ankle or capris.  Not good enough QVC!

Asking the models how tall they are does not help me when it comes to pants.  I would like to know the normal inseam they wear in flats.  If you wear 3in plus heels you need a longer inseam.  Many people do not wear heels that tall in their every day life.   You can have a long or short torso and you can have long or short inseams.  Angel S tells on Quaker that she has a long torso but only a 30in inseam.  That kind of information is very helpful to me.  With the sales numbers that QVC states they make I would think that it is not to much to ask to make petitie, average and tall garments.   They have expanded the sizes of shoes to go from narrow to XXwide on many shoe styles.  I would think that adjusting garment length would be far easier and less costly than shoes.  I carry a 3ft expandable tape in my purse so I can measure length when in doubt at the clothing stores and that is a great help.

I think Lisa tried to address that last night during the TSV kickoff by suggesting the pants would good if hiked up. They didn't; they just looked too short. 29" inseam is too short for me too, so I passed on this pant.

 

I am not sure why, but that presentation felt "flat" and awkward, like the interaction between Lisa and Amy was stilted. Reminded me that some hosts make it all look so natural that I forget this job has a lot of factors that make a show enjoyable. Maybe it was just me....

@SunValley  Perfectly said and a good reminder for all of us.  The hosting job is very difficult and there are tons of moving parts.  I love it when people on here claim they themselves could do the job.  It's so competitive you really have to be at the top of your game.
