Jane always wears what they are selling. Maybe because she does not want to repeat an outfit.

I suppose it's good, though. It tells us what not to buy (if we are petite like her.)

But I'd rather see her in her own clothes that are more flattering.

@Harpa - I want the hosts to wear what QVC is selling. There's no reason for me to see the host's own clothing.

Of course I agree that negative remarks on a person’s appearance should be out of bounds. However, I think that has to work both ways. If a host talks about herself to an extreme, whether it be her age, family life, weight etc. she is opening the door to audience feedback. A little goes a long way and at a certain point it just seems like fishing for compliments.

To me Leah is a perfect example of how a host should conduct herself. She went through a divorce, a significant weight loss and a leave of absence yet she never discussed any of it. When certain callers asked intrusive questions, she politely but firmly deflected. Classy and professional as always but sent a message that her personal life was off limits.

@nevergivesup - I agree with everything you're saying. If a host goes overboard sharing her/his life on television and social media, feedback is going to happen.

Leah is a perfect example of talking very little about one's personal life. I never knew she was married or anything. If she wants to go to social media and post her personal life, fine. I just don't think a host needs to continually talk about their family while they're presenting.

This a fashion/taste/style forum, for heaven's sake. Comments are always going to focus on what's being worn, by whom, and how well. Opinions will vary, sometimes widely. People who choose to be offended by the subject matter are free to say so, but not to censor. It's called "diversity."

Agree with you 100% @vsm . This is a fashion forum and comments about fit is NOT body shaming. Geez.

@San Antonio Gal Although comments about fit are easily turned into body shaming and the intent is evident when that is the case.

I totally disagree with @manny2 . It is not body shaming when expressing that something does not look good on a certain body type. I am short, 5'2 1/2", 123 lbs and generally wear an xxs-small. No real weight issue. There are many clothing items I will put on that just don't fit my body type. I have close friends and family that will tell me, "that really doesn't look that great on you". I NEVER take it as body shaming.

In my opinion, and it's just how I feel, when people make these comments I feel THEY may be the one's with a body image issue. Jane has looked very nice in certain styles, nobody can look great in everything. This particular top just isn't for her. With that said, I'm sure the powers that be require the hosts to wear the clothing they are selling as I have noticed through the years this has become the standard.

Very well said @cjm61 .

Any comments about body shape, or what you think is unflattering on someone is starting to muddy the waters. That is called body shaming, and it is not OK.

It is not "body shaming" to acknowledge that an article of clothing is ill-fitting.

Who gives you the right to decide what looks good on another person? I do not get the rational here. You can think what you want, just keep it to yourself. @vsm

Why don't you get it? Words hurt.

Then let your "close friends, and family" tell you @cjm61 It's not up to you to comment on any other person's body shape or how it looks on them.

I work with people that hear your rational, and the comments hurt.

You really don't get it @vsm This says a lot about you. I'm done you know what they say you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

Same !!!
It's not body shaming to say put on a bigger size ! It is about the shirt and the way it fits.

You don't get it either @green girl . It's really not a difficult concept.

I agree with you @San Antonio Gal They are public figures, and open to criticism. When discussing ad nauseum about daughters, vacations etc. That is a violation of a social construct we all follow, so that is open to discussion and criticism. We all know it is not acceptable or desirable to talk incessantly about our children etc. People are going to react to that.

Criticizing someone’s shape, hair, speech impediments etc. is psychologically harmful, and hurtful. That includes the passive aggressive posts that talk about fit. Everyone is entitled to wear what they want. Some people like clothing to fit close to the body, while others like baggy. Different strokes for different folks.

I get to see people on the other side of these cruel comments. It is devastating.

I surprised that you agree @San Antonio Gal Your posts are usually kind. When you are talking about fit that is a backhand comment about body shape.
