And let me add that I have stopped buying Marla Wynn clothing because nothing is the same size so I never know what size to gamble on. The medium one time is smallish and the next time swallows me. I used to love Marla Wynn fashions although I am petite and the boxy jackets and tops swallow me plus I hate ankle pants.

I recently purchased a Nina Leonard “denim” shirt tunic which I love the fabric , the fit,and style but I hate the terrible smell. I am washing it in laundry borax and detergent AND oxyclean to see if the scent comes out. The smell is like perfume mixed with heavy cigarettes.

I question myself why do I keep ordering from HSN if everything arrives smelling so awful?

I also recently bought a cute Wynn Layers top, had to wash it gently twice same as the routine above to get the terrible smell out. And it faded just a bit.

I keep trying but I have to quit ordering from HSN as everything arrives with a terrible smell.

I recently ordered from two other companies and the clothing did not arrive smelling so awful. Prices are about the same at many companies, everything has gone up in price.

Bev, what item did you return that cost so much in shipping? Yikes.

I didn’t know who the other rep was, glad to know a name to a face. I don’t remember her much when she was on HSN, but she seemed to want to talk about the product last night and I thought Skip should allow her to more.

I watched some of the Perlier show last night. I was noticing on their “research” photos, that the skin changed some but not much of the people on their clinical study. There are too many people on the stage selling Perlier for my liking and the poor mother was not able to talk like she used to. We all get old enough to need to step back. The young woman, not the host, but the Perlier woman was trying to get a word in or make a point seemed so adamant to be allowed to talk. Perlier is not a product that has ever worked for me in changing or helping my skin so I watched last night to see if things were new with this brand. The host was okay but Skip was talking so much, she rarely got a word in. I felt like Skip was overly selling and almost anxious about it. And yes, the mother’s skin is very much too tight for her age without botox or fillers although she does have beautiful skin.

What department stores sell Nina Leonard? I have never seen her line in any store and I totally agree about the terrible thin fabric and odd fit about all the current designers on HSN.

I agree and only wear cotton tops. I have some “cotton modal and span” tops from Kim Gravel that make me sweat terribly. Modal is just another fiber I have to say no to. For those that don’t know, “cotton modal and span” is sung by the hosts and Kim Gravel whenever that is the fabric of her garments when selling on TV. I did not put commas in because this is the way they sing it. They also sing the triple lux song.

When I first started watching HSN, maybe around 2017 or 2018, I purchased two wonderful thick cotton t-shirts in the C Wonder line. They were not fancy, solid colored, and plain but such high quality. They have long since worn out due to use and the line has definitely changed. They have creative designs but the fabric often looks thin and cheap. Look at the fit and the backside of the garment on the model.

I like Ken, he talks about how he designed certain garments so I think he is now in charge or just promoting himself.

Yes, this year I have moved more away from HSN and QVC. I bought nice Ponte pants from Quince brand. I bough jeans from both Kohls and Coldwater Creek (shipping was $20!). I did purchase two thin slub elbow length sleeves from Denim & Co on QVC. I am trying to stop purchasing so many clothes that don’t fit so I don’t wear them and didn’t return them. I no longer work so wear a lot of casual stuff at home.

The sizing issue and quality control is a huge problem on both QVC and HSN. I ended up keeping so many cute things from HSN that didn’t really fit so now I vow to “do better” in 2026.

I saw the kind of cute color block dress from Nina Leonard on last night and when the model turned around in the white backed one, I could see through the fabric. So that means thin, cheap fabric, which doesn’t really “glide over the body” as the hosts say. It does show lumps and bumps and underwear lines if the fabric is cheap.

Sheba, just wanted to say I stop by here from time to time and enjoy seeing your posts and all the quotes. Thank you for giving us a cheering up each day. Hope you have a good St Patrick’s Day and much enjoyment.

I liked his pants for the most part but don’t wear polyester so most of his shirts and dresses were a no. I have some nice fabric pants of his from a few years ago that make me glad I purchased them. I didn’t wear them much and discovered them again this winter.

I don’t use this product because the last time I looked, the label did not say the exact ingredients. Like what exactly is the product that should reduce cholesterol? His products are also very expensive.

I have a bottle of Life Seasons “Choles-T” and this is a high quality brand. It lists what is in it: Cholestrinol, red yeast rice, beta sitosterol, fugal, CoQ10. I think I paid $20 for 90 capsules but you take 3 per day for the full dose, so this is one month’s cost.

Here is my little secret for seeing how short or long the rise of a pant is. I do agree, it would be nice to see that item listed. I have a long rise so this is my pet peeve on how short the rise is for most of their pants on HSN except like someone said, Diane Gilman.

Look at the model or the photos when she turns around. For example, a fairly new Johan S Grey pant they show the backs side in a photo. Well you can see how the rise rides up into the models buttocks. And then if you look carefully, you see the outline of her glutes and thighs.

The riding up means it may have a shorter rise, the length is certainly short. To me this looks like a cheap, poorly fitted pant on my body. One of the presenters/designers calls this showing the “lumps and bumps” when they are on the show. On someone looking for a short rise, and shorter inseam, this pant may work for them.

I am of mixed opinion on A L Supplements. I find many that do not list on their bottles what is in their products. Like the cholesterol lowering product, I needed to know what was in it exactly as I have food allergies. Couldn’t not and wasn’t going to call the company because I can buy other excellent brands with that information on their bottle. So… I don’t watch A L presentations as they seem slick and overly hyped, especially Adam presenting.

I saw the other night, can’t remember which date, and Ken was presenting the clothing and said “when I designed this” about the garment. No longer does he say Christian Siriano designed this like he used to. Very interesting. Ken does a great job describing the print and the clothing.
