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.

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.

Is this correct that this faux leather AKA plastic jacket was delivered in 2018? I won’t buy leather or faux leather either because of the upkeep and also because the faux leather, plastic, is made out of oil by products isn’t it?

Every item I have ordered from the DG2 line over the years has this odor. It is not just your garments. The desiccant bags are to absorb moisture in shipping and storage. I find I have to wash DG stuff many times to get the odor to be faint enough. I do like the way her jeans fit but I can’t abide the odor. Like angie0215 wrote, it is bad for us to be around such chemicals.

I do not like any of the overwhelming scents with Beekman or Kores. Some scents give me a headache. And all the chemicals in Beekman are a no for me. So if you don’t like it, just return it. This is how the company learns what works for the public. I am always disappointed to get the product and find the scent is overpoweringly bad.

Every time they actually do give the sizing of what the host and models are wearing, it seems like the round down in sizes. I have heard TV makes one appear bigger but then they say they are in the extra extra small and I wonder. Sometimes you can see that the garment is actually way too small and tight on whomever is wearing it. But yes, Marla’s stuff is so oversized and big, bulky that it swallows me up. Plus just not flattering even on the models.

I saw a story online with Melissa Rivers about what clothing styles are out of fashion. She said oversized anything is now out and a more natural fit is in. I thought she needs to tell Marla this. I love how Marla’s clothing is so well made but please go back to a more natural fit, Marla, although I know you have done bulky tops and ankle length pants (only) for years. Love the clothing but it looks awful on me as I am petite.

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 have also notice how thin, frail, and even how sad Jay’s eyes look. He is quieter and I notice some of the hosts talk over him. I wish him the best. I have not bought any of his jewelry because I don’t wear jewelry nor do I like heavy pieces around my neck. I used to enjoy watching his shows and learning from him.
