Put models in their correct size - Page 2

What is a size too small in some people's eyes is a perfect fit to others!!! Wear what you like and let others do the same No one is forcing anyone to wear a size they do not want to wear!!! There are now materials that stretch and tighter clothing is more comfortable for many!

Jackie, the model, is never, ever in her correct size. It is, always, too small. The models do not chose their size clothes, the stylists do. I find the stylists on QVC to be lacking.

Years ago, when Louis Dell 'Olio had his line, he styled every single one of his shows himself. He supplied the shoes, the accessories, the gloves etc. Even supplied sketches showing the outfit as well as the accessories which were attached to the garment bag containing the complete outfit. I later yer, he was required to use shoes that were from QVC Sales inventory, jewelry as well until he started selling his jewelry.

Whether you cared for his designs or not, his presentations were professional, cohesive and well presented. Everyone of his models were beautifully dressed. It was a mini runway. He was the only designer whose attention to detail was as important to him as the items he was selling.

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.

@AngelPuppy1 I have to say, you've correctly touched on something that's plagued me my entire life! In my case, I wear clothing too large (specifically, tops--except sleeveless), and I've always heard about it, from friends and family.

To further compound matters, I've always been thin, despite eating like a field hand, so it's more noticeable. My shoulders are broad, and I've always felt a constricting "tightness" in that area in smaller top sizes. This was hilarious in the '80s with their shoulder pads and emphasized shoulders. Tops and even work blazers hung straight from my broad shoulders, and distressed, incredulous family members would come up to me, follow the line of the blazers with their hands, then dramatically pull them in at the waist lol.

Since retirement, I dress much more casually, but I still love oversized tops. If I see a "batwing" (that's what they used to be called, and they're still around) top, I'm all over it! 😀

In the end, you just have to be comfortable in what you're wearing. If it doesn't fit you, it doesn't fit. 🤷‍♀️

The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.

There are times when it doesn't seem they are paying attention to the on air presentation. Which is a shame because that is the one area not available to most other clothing retailers. That's where they should shine.

What I find unprofessional is when an on air garment is worn and the wrinkles or creases haven't been steamed out. Would you walk out the door wearing it that way?

I think it's understandable if a host decides to wear something in front of them from the rack and their size isn't there. Some will say whether it's their size or not. But the models should always be wearing the correct size.

I would think QVC has sizes on hand that fit the models who usually model that line of clothing.

But, what happens if a model gets sick or calls off and another one has to fill in?

There is no way QVC has every size in stock in the model's closet. Sometimes they have to make do. Also, what happens if the model gains a few pounds?

Should they be fired?

I often see a model wearing shoes that are too big. Stuff happens.

It's not that big of a deal. I doubt the model is embarassed. Why should they be?

If this makes any sense:

Maybe the models are wearing their correct 'size', but just maybe those particular 'tight' clothing items run smaller than usual. (?)

I don't know how to correct this problem, mainly because all of the models' items (tight or not tight) are shipped directly into their dressing room(s).

Well, just thinking out loud (as usual).

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

Depending on the cut or style of a clothing item the fit of the same size can vary. I have heard the hosts say order a size up because the fit of the clothing item is snug or more form fitting.

When I was a young teen and was nice and thin and fit, I wore clothing that was form-fitting, such as tight jeans. But my clothing, while I liked ked things to fit me pretty well, I never liked things extremely tight, tops, pants, etc. Now that I am older and a good bit heavier, I don't enjoy anything form-fitting.

I think if you like to wear tops, pants, etc., a bit larger than why not? This is what you feel comfortable in. It's all about a person's own particular comfort level.
