I recently purchased four pair of Iman’s jeans. I wish I had found them earlier. I got the cuffed & slim fit. DG2 are just too big in the waist & have tight knees. I like classic clothes that never go out of style. HSN & QVC seem to be on repeat all the time.
Unless you want sports league branded merch, I agree, the selection of men’s products is small., which is a shame. Granted, they look at stats that most of the shoppers are female, but even so, gift giving options for women to give the men in their lives would be nice. I think it’s a missed opportunity. That said, Bionic, Skechers, Revitalign on QVC do have mens styles you might want to check out.
Posted in Forum: ShoesI own about 12 pairs of Bzees. Three in this style from about 5 yrs ago. So I bought FOUR pairs to replace the old ones at a cost of $47.90 each.
These shoes feel like knock-offs. I can’t believe this is even the same company.
The wedge platform pitch is WAY off. What use to be a slight, hardly noticeable gradation from heel to toe is now much more pronounced and the arch is PAINFULLY noticeable. And this critique is coming from a woman with a very high arch.
What’s more, the footbed feels like standing on a cement. No real give. THESE SHOES ARE JUST AWFUL!
I’ve noticed over the years that when a new brand comes to HSN (and QVC) it first offers a great product but as time goes on, the quality is greatly diminished. Perhaps except for Curtis Stone’s pots & pans.
The final kicker–HSN will not allow me to post a review. I spent $200 (and will now have to spend nearly $40 to return) on these shoes and I can’t tell other shoppers that if you’re not into walking in shoes w/a funky pitch and painful arch, do not buy. This will be my last Bzees purchase.
She has not been on for almost a year. I doubt she will come back unless she is moving to PA. August 2025 HSN IS moving to PA * will be working out of the same very very large studio that QVC owns. So I am sure some will be on still & some will quit. I just hope they up their quality of clothing, style & petites. Some of their designers sell garbage ugly cheap clothing a lot of them do. Even some that act like they r better quality they are poorly made & ill fitting just with a higher price tag.
I know it is all about the $$$, however I am a fan of both HSN and QVC. HSN was where I began shopping as I liked the concept of returning if whatever you ordered didn’t fit, the quality of the merchandise, etc and I used to defend to people who would snicker that I ordered on line how great it was to hear items described, presented and get a “fashion show” and ideas of how to style outfits. I considered that almost as good as having your own stylist! Hearing the campus is closing really makes me sad though i figured something was up. I DO hope they continue the DG2 line, and so many others. I realize shopping has changed just like tv is now streaming and so on, but I’ll just say it like it is for me – going to HSN or QVC for my shopping needs has been awesome and it makes me sad that they are cutting out or decreasing the option. And I’ll add to that the hosts (and guests) are folks that can easily influence purchases, i sure hate to see them go – they are the heart of the business.
Adrienne is amazing no matter what she’s had/has not done. Ken Paves has beautiful wigs. I saw him on QVC a few days ago. He had a flowing, longer (maybe layered) wig, it was stunning and did not have that fake look of some wigs. He sets the front of the wig back a bit and is less bulky on the top.
I’ve never worn a wig though that wig made me want to buy it to have in case I want to try a new look now and then. I didn’t purchase it, though.
By the way, he was great, seems like a genuinely kind person, and knows his hairstyles!
I’ll tune in again just to watch.
Hi Sherryrose,
I am 66 so we are the same generation. I do purchase true petite sizing from Anthropologie also Reformation sells true petite sizing.
Also, Ann Taylor, Macys has a petite section which is a little less expensive than Anthropologie & Reformation.
Banana Republic has petites, but I do not shop there as much as I use to many years ago. I worked part time at one of their stores many years ago and they had a huge petite section, but the store is still there & it is 1/2 the size with no petites.
They do have petites online still but not as big of a selection.
Susan Grave on QVC sells petites and other designers do also. When Susan & a couple of other designers on the Q not all make petite tops, blazers or jackets they make them in true petite sizing. It is just not shorter in length it is supposed to be shorter in the arms, torso and fit for a true petite woman.
I just find that HSN has poor quality clothing in general and when I do see something I like it is never in petites. I also find it very insulting when they try & tell you it would work for a petite woman. It’s like if I said to an average or tall woman here put on my petite pants it will work so what if it is very short in the leg it’s the style sometime.
It is condescending & taking your customers for granted. It is also not being inclusive! HSN has always been way behind QVC in everything that they do but I doubt they will ever catch up when it comes to actually listening to the customer & being all inclusive.
My mom & grandmom were both seamstresses and could make clothes of course using a pattern, but they were very talented. I also remember my mom always taking me shopping for clothes & being disappointed in the way they were made.
She spoiled me with quality even though we did not have a lot of money.
So, I do like quality materials, & well fitted clothes.
I also don’t like when a designer on HSN makes an item in petite and acts like they are throwing us a bone and we should be grateful that they made that 1 item I don’t like or want in a petite.
They need to learn respect for their customers & to include everyone Regular, Talls & True petites.
I could not agree more with all the persons that have addressed their concerns regarding shipping and handling costs, especially in this inflation. I had been a loyal HSN customer since the late 80’s while living in Puerto Rico. As we got the Q2 and QVC signals in the early 90’s, as a consumer I supported them as well.
With the years and while living in the States, I go to the realization that HSN was the absolute best, until QVC acquired HSN.
As of today July 8, 2024 I will uninstall the app from all my devices. There is no need to hold on to something that you are not going to use in the foreseeable future. Thank you HSN for all the wonderful products that I owned that make my house look like a castle and for my impeccable wardrobe and lifestyle!
Posted in Forum: FashionI posed the question to Google why is Hsn and Qvc’s fashions so old and dowdy looking their sense of style has changed I ordered maybe one or two things this season from Hsn but I see it looks old and I’m 76 but the things that they show I don’t think I would buy

Posted in Forum: FashionWhat has happened to HSN clothing? What was once very fashionable, good quality merchandise has now been replaced with overpriced dowdy dresses, matronly patterns and flowers,and many of the fabrics are cheap, replacing silk and crepe with polyester and spandex. Whatever happened to Terry Lewis, or the Halston designer Randolph Duke. Gone are the days when I would spend thousands of dollars on clothing from HSN designers. There used to be a big difference between HSN and QVC fashion… now it seems since they are owned by same company is hard to tell the difference. There is little style…I may have gotten older but my fashion sense has not diminished.
I agree with you in regard to the “no return label.” i do have a printer and can print my own but the fact that this is just another elimination of something that worked is really frustrating with HSN and QVC Another pet peeve: Why is the price you paid for the item no longer on the invoice? I maybe get one price on an invoice out of every 15. I keep getting more and more frustrated especially when I scroll through the stations and hear those hosts! With the exception of the original hosts (the few who are still there) I just scroll even faster because I truly and honestly cannot stand to hear them or look at them. I feel badly saying that but their voices are like chalk on a blackboard if anyone can remember what chalk and blackboard is. I am so glad I’ve found other online shopping outlets. The quality and styles that are now shown on HSN and QVC are really sad. I still long for the former real designers who I looked forward to seeing and their designs. How much DG2 or Susan (what’s her name) can you own? Everything looks the same. Ugh.
I agree. G copies other designer styles yet she doesn’t improve on them at all.
I follow a lot of the high-end designers and the styles she makes are copies but they are a lot cheaper and uglier.
At least make it better and for the average everyday woman in all size Petites and tall.
HSN needs to watch QVC closely and learn.
QVC is quality value and customer service.
HSN is just that another home shopping network with 0 to offer.
I agree totally! I am sick and tired of HSN’s lack of respect and consideration for all sizes.
QVC not only has best designers Susan Graver, Kim Gravel, Isaac Mizrahi and Logo they offer everything in petites especially Susan Graver and Kim Gravel who make gorgeous clothes in all styles, top quality in petites and tall. Susan and Kim have tops, jackets, bottoms, dresses and coats in petites.
Susan Graver the best in style, highest quality and the number one designer offers 99% in Petites.
Yet, HSN offers a few bad designers who make cheap ugly clothes may offer a few petites here and there mostly not petite but a pant that runs shorter in length like they are throwing a bone to a dog meaning the petite woman is the dog. R u kidding me such an insult to your petite and tall women who R CUSTOMERS!HSN needs to get with 2024 and REFRESH THEMSELVES WITH WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM ALL SHOPPING NETWORKS NOT JUST QVC and with what is right and wrong.
Allowing designers to SELL their merchandise (JUNK) on your Network and not tell them you need to have better quality and PETITES and tall in everything is Insane and a slap in the face to your customers who are petite and tall.I purchase less and less from HSN definitely not their cheap, ugly clothing.
They need to improve quality and PETITE CLOTHING IN COATS, JACKETS, TOPS, SWEATERS, SKIRTS AND PANTS IT IS A NO BRAINER YET HSN and THE PERSON IN CHARGE CEO AND THE PERSON DIRECTLY RUNNING HSN HAS NO BRAIN APPARENTLY; BECAUSE THE TALENTLESS, THOUGHTLESSNESS OF THE DESIGNERS ON HSN ARE CALLING THE SHOTS AND RUNNING THE SHOW!!
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesI’m just going to say it; what the heck is with HSN and QVC? I’m going through my closets and I find items I purchased years ago by the designers I really liked. They still look good and I wear them. Linea by Louis Del’Olio, Dennis Basso, Simonton, Slinky Brand and of course JOAN RIVERS! The stuff that is presented now is actually insulting to her good name. Dennis Basso has changed his style and I no longer watch him and I adored him. The “designers” now keep showing the same thing over and over again. How many pairs of denim do you need? How many LOGO tops do you need when they all look alike. And Belle by Kim ? all the same all the time. I’m saddened and disappointed by the huge change in these platforms and disappointed in the quality in the items I do receive. Then QVC gets upset when too many items are returned. There’s a reason for the returns. I doubt this will get printed but I’m just so upset because both of these stations have gone way downhill. And then getting rid of the hosts we’ve followed for years? When Pat and Jane go, I’m gone not that anyone would care. But how I wish the shows were like they were before the merger.
I agree. But all the jeans on HSN and QVC that are bell bottoms or any flare at all are made longer than the straight leg jeans or skinny jeans. And you are right. They expect us to wear a higher heel with flared jeans. So they make them too long for the average person who just wears sandals or tennis shoes all day. I am an average in pants and the bellbottoms are made 31-32 in which is way too long. And jeans don’t look good hemmed, plus some have a style that you can’t hem. I would get the petite in the 29 in but then the rise is short on me. Wake up designers,. We are not running around all day like the models.
