Suggestion Box

[Caaareful Shopper]

I would really like to see sizing suggestions or hints for clothes and shoes stated online.  Some other sites do this, for example:

Runs small, size up one.

Half size = size up

Half size = size down

I don't like only relying on either watching the on-air presentation of the video to see if the vendor or host will mention anything to help with sizing.  Vionics often makes these declarations, but only in the presentations, it's not printed on qvc.com or the QVC APP.

QVC is always pushing customers to "jump the line" and use online ordering or better yet, the APP.  I always use these methods too, but don't always watch the presentations when I do.  I often don't know if there were any sizing hints besides what is listed under the description.

Great idea, would really help minimize returns.

@Caaareful Shopper  This may not be true with shoes, but with clothing, I think the sizing can be so off that a hint would be useless.  What I mean is that I can order two different colors of the same size pants (not just QVC), and one will be loose or tight, while the other is fine.

@2blonde That’s so true, it has happened to me where different colors of the same item fit entirely differently.  However, something’s better than nothing.  I’ve also read consistent reviews across all colors that said over & over again, “size up!”  But I see this after purchasing.  I’ve also heard vendors/hosts mention it from time to time on air, but very infrequently.

I agree that sizing recommendation would be helpful.  Shoes.com has such a feature and I often check there to see how a particular shoe sizing runs regardless of where I end up buying it.

That said, IMO, as long as sizing is so inconsistent among/within brands/colors/styles, such a feature would only highlight further the inconsistencies.

I find it interesting that, only certain items, when presented, show the model’s sizing (height, top size, bottom size) in the on-screen graphic.  I don’t know for sure but I’ve interpreted that to mean that only those items for which the graphic appears run true(r) to size.
