The reason all of the hosts wear such small sizes is because QVC runs much larger than department store in sizing. When a garment begins at xxs or a 0 you need to take that into account. So when a person says they are a large that is from a xxs xs s m L , 5 sizes from the first choice. Many returns are because ppl do not understand that brands such as Issac and logo and D&co are QVC size charts or will state if not .

Why do you find the host telling the sizing of the model and her item insensitive? Ppl relate to the person on the screen they are viewing. Many posts complaining if the host does not mention the model size. Go to the size chart. It helps to see a garment in real-time on a real person. The length .many factors.

Yes they seem all to wear small small sizes! Sometimes when a host says" I wear a size extra small or size 0 "    doesnt always feel good to hear...we can see how small they are.

I personally don't care what size the host is, and anyone who watches regularly knows that all of the hosts are xxxxxxxxs.  Changing clothes constantly is distracting as well. 

 

I would much prefer the host give an accurate description of the garment they are selling - fabric content, does it fit small or run large - seems to me it's the least they can do. 

 

Any more it's even a guessing game with D & C and for years it was the only brand that was constantly sized.

What I love is when they say they are in an xxs and need to be in a small. There is one host that looks like the outfits are sprayed on her. sorry but i can't buy clothes like that. I will say that for the most part the hosts dress appropriately. I love Leah. She will tell you straight out I went up a size because I feel more comfortable. How refreshing.

Ladies, you are spot on!

 

More details instead of the host wanting to purchase the item themselves, accurate color descriptions and measurments for handbags would also be helpful.  I don't care if 300 of the green just sold...I didn't buy the green, so stop focusing on one color and give more reasons that we need the item.

 

Despite the stories, I think that usually Isaac's items are presented very well, and Jackie does a great job explaining and showing what other items to wear with the item on air.  And his sizing charts are more accurate, showing many measurements throughout the garment, at least IMO.

And if you refer to a host who wears an extra, extra small as wearing small, she 

(Amy Stran) looks horrified and corrects the individual.

And if you refer to a host as wearing small when, in fact, she is wearing extra small, the host  looks horrified and will correct the individual.

I believe the hosts actually believe they are celebrities when, in fact, they are salespeople.  They would not be interacting with celebrity designers if it were

not for their job.

 

On one presentation, Martha Stewart told Alberti he was a good salesmen.

He looked stunned.

How is that insensitive?  She was stating the facts about sizing.  Should she lie about what size she or the model are wearing?  The models all know that their measurements and sizes will be discussed because it helps customers choose the right size for themselves.
