Put models in their correct size

How dare you QVC make a beautiful model walk out onto the stage with a size that is too small.  Im talking about tonight's special value blazer from Joan Rivers.  I wont name the model because they are all beautiful.  If you cant find a size to look right on the model then dont make them walk out there to be embarrassed.  So Bad!!! you should be ashamed .

Re: Put models in their correct size

I don't know exactly who you're referring to, but maybe this is the way this particular person likes to wear her clothing.  Some peope like clothing to be snug and others more loose.  It doesn't really bother me.  I just look at the garment, style and price.

Re: Put models in their correct size

I agree.   If you're the same size as the model - whoever the model may - how are you able to tell how the garment would look on you in the correct size if a model, any sized model, is wearing something too small?   I understand it's the 'style' right now, but it doesn't seem like a good sales tactic.   Just a personal opinion from someone who prefers roomier clothing because of the comfort aspect.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry how indignant OP feels. 

 

It's not like their studio has a warehouse next door where they can run and find something at the last minute. Incorrect sizes are worn by hosts and others all the time. 

 

There is obviously lack of planning by Q staff to have the correct sizes on hand but it isn't worth the angst and trauma of OP's post.

I agree with the OP, it's doing a disservice to the vendor and to the customers and shows a lack of professionalism. Seems to me that it is indicative of the Q's business these days.

Re: Put models in their correct size

The OP has a valid criticism. I try to ignore the ill fitting clothes on models and some hosts. I figure it's because they don't have the right size on the set. But, it's never made sense to me, that they don't enhance the appearance of the garments by providing the right size. This is essential. 

 

I'm sure the appearance of the models affects purchases. The Q's beautiful models, regardless of size, should assist the viewers in making their selections, not confuse them wearing the wrong size. I suspect this results in some lost sales.

This has been going on for years. D&C almost always stuffed Carolyn Gracie into a top which was obviously too small, the same with many pants. Looked awful.

Re: Put models in their correct size

I'm not sure if Q is doing that or people just like to wear clothes that are too small?

Some like to say I wear a small or extra extra small which there is no such size?

Don't pay attention to the size. Buy what fits regardless of the size on that tag. You will look better & feel more comfortable in your clothes.

Re: Put models in their correct size

I agree it's been going on for a long time. Though I don't often watch the fashion shows on Q, I've seen many models & hosts try to squeeze into too small sizes. And do you notice there are so many in size XXS and XS?  Is it that important to them to be that size?

Reminds me of a funny ep of "Married With Children" when Al Bundy was trying to squeeze the shoe on a large woman's foot and after much effort and pain the woman said, "See, I told you I was a size 4!"  LOL

Re: Put models in their correct size

Yes, often times, way too tight.

 

'On the other hand', we can see that we should size up when ordering.

 

I'm guessing that the models were hired to be 'a 'certain size', and that size is what is being sent to the models' closet.  

 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
