Please state size the model and the host are wearing!

I know this topic has been brought up before, but I would love to have the hosts mention what size the models are wearing in whatever garment they are selling! It is hard enough to shop for clothes online, not to mention sizing is not consistent across all brands! I do check the garment measurements on each item, but sometimes looking at a model that may be your exact size (or close to) will really help if you think you may be in between sizes! I know personally, I would purchase more fashion if I had more sizing options, because if I am on the fence, I will not order!! Just my opinion, but QVC, if you want to sell your items, more details please on sizing!

That does not help me at all.

I have noticed that sometimes they state the size the thin models are in, and they all seem to be XXXXXXXS, but then fail to mention the size the larger model is wearing, or what the host is wearing if she is a larger size too.

On the left ide of the screen there appears at least once or twice during a presentation the height and top and bottom size each model is wearing.  I have noticed most of the hosts ask the models frequently what size they are wearing

 

Carolyn always says she wears a large or xlarge.  I believe everyone else claims they wear an xsmall.

True, that the additional info on model/host sizing may not be of help to all, but more is always better in my opinion. They sometimes give information that does not help me either, but I know some will benefit from it....different strokes Smiley Happy

The way I wish they would word it is  "Susie is wearing a small.  Her normal QVC size is XS but she went up a size on this particular item."  That helps viewers understand if the garment is cut a little smaller than usual or whatever.

I think that they have gotten much better with telling the size of the models, but I wish there were not so many xxs models shown.  As for the hosts, some of them do tell what size they wear.  I do not think that any host needs to share their size if they are not comfortable doing so.  We know that the camera adds pounds, and people carry their weight in different parts of the body, so I am not sure that looking at someone on tv will show how the item would look on me.  I know what works for me.   Even if a host or model is my size and it looks good on them, I can usually tell if it will work on me.

As gmkb noted, most models say they're wearing an extra-small.

 

Actually, It doesn't matter to me what size they're wearing. . .they're all several inches taller than I am, and that makes a big difference.

This information isn't the least bit helpful to me but I'm not sure what clothing shows some are watching because this information is always listed when I watch.

 

Yesterday evening I was watching Q2 and Nancy was hosting an Isaac show.  They even popped up Nancy's sizing just like the models. The problem was, it wasn't right.  Nancy corrected it and said she needed to make sure it was corrected in the system.  They made her smaller than she said she is.  LOL

Jacqui wears a L/14.  There are a couple more "plus size" models (i.e., anything other than XXS/XS/S).

 

Caroyln, MaryBeth, and Jill usu say what size they're in.
