Hmm. When people start buying those things, they'll start selling them.

I have to chuckle. This is the third thread I read. Each one was some complaint. People must sure need to vent.

Duuno if my Gram was elegant but she set the table for Sunday dinners with china, crystal and a tablecloth.

@KaySD. Exactly!  Nobody is buying high end jewelry or gowns.  Just try to find a shirt with French cuffs so you can wear cuff links.  Women no longer wear suits or beautifully tailored dresses.  Right now casual is the word.

Maybe it went by the wayside when people started dying and had other things to worry about.  Nothing is stopping you from being as elegant as you want to be though.

Galin, I know what you mean.  You are right.  Why some people on this board feel the need to exagerate the meaning of what was intended is sad

Re: What ever happened to elegance?

I try to keep in mind, QVC's target audience is Millennials.  I don't think they are into elegance.  Shawn's pajama shows, athleisure, joggers, and jeans, are more their style.

 

Generally, Americans have gone casual.  Susan Graver is talking about weekend wear that's worn every day of the week.  

 

Although, I don't think there will be many parties this Christmas and New Year's because of Covid-19, jeans might be worn with a sequin blazer or top.   

 

Louis Dell'Olio will be offering some dressy pieces.  Stay tuned.

There was a "good" time on Q.  Times have changed.

 

I doubt we are the first that wish to be in another time.
