Today's Special Value

Has anyone purchased this swimsuit?  Was wondering about the sizing.  Watched video and Rachael (I like her!) stated to order your normal QVC size.  Normally, they've always preached to go up a size from your normal pant size.  Considering ordering, just concerned about sizing.

Me, too, goldenlocks! Maybe this will help: I just watched the video. (I wonder why don't they ask the models early on what size they're wearing?!) FINALLY, after watching and listening closely for over 14 minutes, a caller asked about sizing. It was near the end of the video ... MANY THANKS FOR ASKING, CALLER! The host asked the model Jackie what size she was wearing, and she said 14. When she turned around, I thought she could have gone up to 16 only because she is busty and it looked a little tight in the back. Since I'm built the same (apple), asking what size Jackie is wearing is important to me. I don't think I heard the other models' sizes discussed, and that information would also have been helpful.  

The optional skirt that one of the models is wearing in the video is very cute. I may have to buy that also since I'm built smaller on the bottom than I am on top. I'm afraid I might swim in the size 14 or 16 pants that come with the TSV.

I've purchased 2 new swimsuits from QVC this year.  My pant size is a 14 and I ordered a 16 in my swimsuits.  They fit perfectly, not too tight at all. The general rule of thumb is to size up one size, but I've read some reviews on a few of the suits in which ladies have stated they did NOT size up.  To be on the safe side, i recommend you size up one size.

Thanx, MsLomo.  Guess I didn't listen to the video long enough.  I ordered the 8 'cause that's my most often used pant size - I vary on sizing at times.  I missed the skirt and, like you, I am apple shaped with no hips.  So, as you stated sometimes bottoms might be a little lose.  Thanx for the info though, 'cause Jackie usually wears a 14, which assure me it does run on normal Q- sizing.  I have a one-piece from LE which I ordered using my normal sizing and, surprisingly, it did fit.  Thought this tankini would be good for water excercise classes - something I'd like to do.

@eddyandme Thank YOU for the additional info. I'm glad to know from you that Jackie usually wears a 14. Regarding this morning's video, I almost gave up in frustration, watching the video get close the end while I was yelling at my computer screen, "AARGHH, ASK THE MODELS' SIZES!"  I think I'm going to order the black in my usual "top" size, 14, and I'll get that skirt (A274591) in a size 10, which is the smallest size available right now. Good luck to us on the fit!

I want to know why the female hosts show a swim suit as a tsv yet NONE OF THEM except Jennifer Coffey has the nerve to even come out wearing one throughout the shows.

If the female hosts cannot wear the suits on their shift, either they should not be hosts for swim suits OR the Q should not be trying to sell them to us.

KUDOS TO JEN, although I didn't see her do any of these shows with this tsv.  I did see her wear the last tsv swim suit and she looked GREAT in it!
