Suggestion Box

[lovesallanimals]

This is a pet peeve of mine and I have complained about this before but I don't think our suggestions are taken seriously.

I think Sandra Bennett is a wonderful hostess.  Speaks clearly, no shouting and hysterics, classy, ladylike, etc.  I have always enjoyed her presentations EXCEPT - why doesn't she state what sizes the models are wearing?!  I saw her presentation of the TSV on 11/6 and she never, ever mentions what sizes they wear.  I find this to be very helpful as Jackie is a Large and I am a Medium.  I can always tell how something fits her in her size if I should go up or down.  The sizing charts are never accurate, hence we end up returning a ton of stuff.

Carolyn is Excellent in this regard.  She ALWAYS goes over to the models and asks each one what size they are wearing.

This is very, very helpful and I don't know whey all the hosts don't do this.  Some do, but Sandra Never does.

I guess I have the opposite opinion -- I always wonder why it makes any difference what size the models are wearing, since I don't know them and don't really know how they compare to me.  Yes, if they say they are wearing their usual size or had to go up or down a size, that's helpful -- But I don't really care if their usual size is XXS or Medium or Large -- It doesn't really tell me anything useful.

I’m more concerned with the length of slacks. Just wish the shorter models were on more presentations. Because most of the slacks are too long for women who are 5’4 or 5’5.

Don't know about the other clothing lines but on Denim & Co. the host (usually Carolyn, Rachel or whoever) DOES state what size of each garment each model is wearing. And they also state the height of each model.

There have been more than a few posts that rave about Sandra's wonderful qualities as a host, then commence to tell us how she never gives enough information to order items.  Well....if she is deficit in the information she gives, she's not a great host.  There are very few hosts who do not give the model's heights and sizes; thats pretty basic but apparently Sandra doesn't do it.  If i needed that information, I wouldnt order without it.

@lovesallanimals Absolutely agree this should be happening and would be very helpful to the viewer. Such an easy request don't understand why the hosts aren't  instructed to do so. And yes, it seems to fall on deaf ears unfortunately.

This thread has gone around the block so many times I can't count.  Knowing the size of a model does nothing for me.  My arms may be longer than hers, same with my inseam, even thought we might both wear the same size. Besides, a camera will add weight to a person.  Everyone wants the host to give out a different measurement, but do they really?  I think it would be a very, very boring show, with nothing but numbers rattling off.  Why are women so quick to complain about lack of information givien, but are so afraid to pick up a measureing tape and use it on themseleves?  Denial??  Thats a happy city to live in, I hear.  Here are the measurements given for a pair of Cuddleduds p.j.s. top with a bottom:

When showing pants telling the height of the model means nothing. Inseam is what matters. Two people can be the same height but one can have a long torso or a short torso so pants will fit them different. Inseam is what's important.
