I am very interested in seeing a 3 short sleeve tops as a specia value like Jeanne bice did years ago with the bag. I loved these shirts. I got the ice cream cones wine glass collection. I believe there was a cup cake shirt too in my collection. I was hoping other ladies remember this and maybe angel can work on this again!!! Any chance of this happening? Tracy

I agree with you Tracy!  I bought the three tee shirts with the bag when it was a TSV.  So cute for the summer!  Every TSV lately seems to be a different version of dreamjeanne material.  I am hoping for either tee shirts or a cute two piece summer set as the next TSV.  In fact, I am going to message Angel on Facebook about this....

I would like to see some of the older fashions where they didn't have any kind of bling...haven't bought quacker factory since way back when the items were cute...fun....but no embelisments unless it was embroidery...

@circles  When did they not have bling?  I saw her very first show in 1995 on the 50-in-50 tour and the shirts that sold out immediately had bling on them  - rhinestones.  And she would later tell the story many times about how the cost only allowed her to put on Xnumber  (forgot now how many) of rhinestones on her first blouse, but how with the quantities being bought by QVC she could put a lot more on as the years went by.  But even her very first item (the choice of two designs in appliqued blouses with button covers) had bling!

Her earliest shirts were embroidery on woven cotton shirts with the button covers.  They had no bling.  They were beautifully done and very elaborate.  When she could no longer afford to bring those shirts to QVC, I'm sure due to higher labor costs, she started with the sequins, bugle beads, rhinestones etc.  I actually still have some of those shirts; if there is bling it's minimal, nothing like the stuff they produce today.

There are occasionally a few of the tops I would buy, but nearly all of them are 3/4 sleeves so that's an automatic never-mind for me. Won't even consider it - and that's most QF shirts now. Just zero interest, no matter how cute, in 3/4 sleeves. It's a shame they don't offer more of a mix of sleeve lengths, and I too preferred embroidery over large sections of studs and rhinestones.

Pearly...read Kachinas answer ....there was no bling when she first came to the Q....only embroidery and button covers...

@Kachina624   See my post above yours.  They had bling, even her first shirts.  And she did tell the story of she was only allowed to put on X many (forgot the exact number) rhinestones - which are bling - on each shirt for the price.   That is true, despite whatever it is you are thinking.

@circles   Katchina24 is simply wrong.   I remember the shirts presented on Jeanne's very first show, as I wrote in my post, and I remember her earliest other shirts.  There were rhinestones on them.   I am sure you can find Jeanne's very first show from the 50 in 50 tour on Youtube which will prove me right.  There were rhinestones on the shirts!
