FASHIONS ARE DRAB /LACK STYLE AND QUALITY

I rarely find ANYTHING in the “fashion” category. Colors are often dull and the design often BEGS to be re-done. It’s almost funny to listen to the Host “gush” over how beautiful something is when I can barely tolerate looking at it. I watch once in a while and it’s just the same boring stuff. Prices for shoes and handbags are particularly offensive, especially since Amazon offers better. And good grief, how many skin care products can ALL be “the best”. Hard to imagine all the hosts use each and every item that they claim to use. I sometimes listen to HSN or QVC as “background” noise when I’m doing chores or baking.
Pricing for most items is also ridiculous. Even brands which I favor are just too expensive and oftentimes Amazon or ebay is just as good a source. It’s sad, but very true, that HSN and QVC are likely going the way of Saturday morning cartoons. It was fun, but not any longer.

Sadly, I have to agree completely. Even the collections led by actual designers — not just celebrity labels — feel devoid of artistry or appeal. I rarely visit HSN or QVC anymore because there are so many other retailers offering pieces that capture my attention and my dollars.

I find better prices at many other stores they all have great sales, and you know you are getting quality just like you know with some vendors on HSN you will not be getting quality most of the time.

I never use eBay but Amazon I use a lot as a prime member but not for clothing and handbags, I get better deals online either from stores or directly from the designer’s website I do comparison shopping always and get great deals. Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and other websites online have great deals. Jeans from Kut from the Kloth has great jeans in petite with great prices and good sales so does Talbots they carry tall and petite in 95% of everything.

HSN has become background noise definitely they need to improve on their vendors and ask more from them as far as quality and being inclusive with petite and tall. Dg2 tops are so ugly and cheaply made a lot of the vendors make really awful looking clothes it looks cheap and when you get it home it is even worse in person.

A lot of HSN clothes are only regular size except for some of the brands that make a lot of polyester and jeans with formaldehyde. These brands may offer petites but is usually a pass for me because of the lack of quality, design and material.

Never do I see petites tops and jackets and coats as if a petite woman is only petite on the bottom part of her body. Any designer worth purchasing from makes a lot of clothing but hardly any in petite and tall.

I still purchase a lot from HSN, but it is usually something that has been lowered in price (sale or clearance and I like the material and design. I love Isomers so I am glad they have one decent skin care line that I love and use daily.
