I like Susan Graver’s liquid knit line, too, but her prices are crazy high! She doesn’t do as many printed jackets either, which is what I miss the most from Slinky. Jackie always brought new seasonal prints for spring/summer and fall/winter with coordinating tanks. I do hope that Slinky clothes are available on some online platform in the near future.
HSN and QVC are all part of the same ownership group now, so it’s unlikely that she would move to QVC for that reason, too.
Susan Graver’s quality is a lot better in my opinion. I know that Slinky has many fans but with all due respect, I don’t think the brand would pass QVC’s standards. ShopHQ, may grab the brand.
Posted in Forum: FashionIs Slinky Brand still going to be on forward ?
I heard one of the hosts say on a video clip months ago that Slinky was going and I’ve since ordered a good deal from clearance. I don’t understand the reluctance of the reps to give us information on what has or is happening unless there is some hope that things are still in flux. I find Slinky so easy to wear and especially love the skinny pants and tees. So many good deals now if you can find your size.
Posted in Forum: FashionI’ve inquired with HSN chat agents, twice, about Slinky and they tell me the line has not been discontinued; however, it’s been forever since there have been any new designs. I wish they would just be honest and let us loyal customers know what is going on. Has anyone heard anything? I would guess they have discontinued the line and Slinky will pop up on another TV shopping channel, eventually.
Seems like all the Slinky offerings are on clearance. I own a few pieces since they are great for our hot, humid conditions in FL. Like that the pieces are made in the USA , not “imported”.
Slinky is gone people! I can’t believe that braying Donkey lasted as long as she did. Maybe if they had a better speaking rep they would still be around.
Is Slinky brand leaving HSN. Shopping with Jackie since day one!!!
I ended up purchasing the yellow/blue set in my normal size large. It fit true to size and I had the exact type gathering up under the arm area that some of the models had. Nothing drastic and it’s due to the baby dolman type cut. I would give it 3 stars. I love the brightness of the yellow. The necklace is kind of a high level cheesy-if there is a such thing?.? I don’t dislike the t-shirts and would probably purchased other colors only because tees are foundational pieces and these check the box. However, I don’t find these are anything to write home and tell momma about either. Overall, I think this is the elevated version of Slinky.
Hi all, I wanted to interject my humble opinion. The material she’s using now is not the same as her previous collection. It’s softer with a micro texture to it. There’s more stretch as well (both directions but one direction more than the other).
If you’re concerned about the fit for larger busts, the only way to get a good fit would be with princess seams, however, those also accent the entire torso. So if you have that midlife shift in abdominal weight placement it is more accented. The dolmen sleeve is the happy medium between princess cut and regular Tees. I think the problem with the fit on the current larger busts models are they are wearing one size down because it looks like they’ve lost weight (YAY for them!!!) and they chose the smaller size tops that hugs the mid section to show off the hour glass shape.
When compared to Slinky, the material is not the same. The majority of Slinky fabric does have stretch but not as much as this, nor is Slinky as soft as this new fabric. Also, Slinky material is not that breathable. If you perspire in 85F and high humidity weather you can’t wear Slinky. The sweat really shows through. This material is breathable allowing for the perspiration to dissipate rapidly and discretely.
I can also say the Slinky Tees I have are not finished like these. The Slinky neck line has a simple turned over finished edge whereas Iman’s is finished with a binding. I got one season of wearing the Slinky Tees in before the stitching started to come apart at all finished edges. It’s a bit embarrassing when you’re in a meeting at work and notice the hem falling apart or that rogue long thread that gets hooked on something and starts to unravel. This isn’t a knock against Slinky at all as I have a lot from that line as well. I just wanted to let the community know my opinion on the differences between the two.
Lastly, the creme de la creme, this fabric is machine wash and dry. What I have so far from last month have been through several cycles of laundering and everything still looks like I just received it.
Sorry for the length and I hope this helped you guys make an informed decision. STAY SAFE OUT THERE in this world of crazy. I hope you guys find something to treat yourself and keep your spirits up.
I’m wondering if fit is going to be a problem with this tee especially for bustier women? I’m concerned with pulling across the chest and it having a weird fit underneath the arms due to cut. I don’t know, I like the skinny jeans with the zipper but this tee and the tie-sleeve jacket, 689-891 is channeling Slinky to me.
This is terrible, Slinky Brand leaving HSN–one of my favorite lines and loved all the work clothing opportunities she gave me. I will be looking at other shopping networks for Slinky, hopefully that will happen. Too bad, very sad. Thanks Jackie for all your wonderful items.
That is interesting since every single Slinky item is on clearance.
