3/4 sleeves strike again.

 

[Brissles]

More sweaty polyester/elastene ! Its clear these 'designers' are running dry on ideas now, - even the prints are headache inducing !

 

[caretodiffer]

Not a bad offer, £ 16.95 each including postage, I think the brown and blue will go fast :thinking: I am not buying but if I did, I would have gone for the brown

 

[yesilkedi]

The egg plant print design is awful, makes me nauseous just looking at it.
In whose book is this 'one of the industry's leading fashion brand?' I bet it's only QVC viewers who have ever heard of it.

 

[Caroleanne]

Well they were mentioning how long the brand had been coming to QVC ...... not a mention of Lenny .... how can they be so callous its as if he has been air brushed out and never existed !! You could understand it if he had just worked for the company but wasn`t he the founder?

 

[Turandot]

Yes Lenny and his wife Nina set up the company.I think it's sad he is never referred to as the founder .I suppose gradually the people who remember Lenny will move on and new customers won't worry about it .Q just wants to sell sell sell...and as Ali K kept informing us,over a thousand new customers signed up yesterday alone !

Not keen on the tops .I would prefer one well made wearable top.I couldn't see myself wearing the patterns so it would be a
waste.

 

[Miss Grumpy]

Mon Dieu! Je parle français parce que le familiar boat neckline has recently changed on QVC to a bateau neckline. Pretentious, QVC, N'est ce pas?

As for the brown pattern, it's a 1970s wallpaper design.

 

[shopperholic]

You can tell it was Lenny who was the brains behind the outfit (so to speak) because these clothes are absolutely hideous (in my opinion) so when they bought the Nina Leonard name, they obviously didn't buy the style or someone to carry on Lennys vision.

 

[Miss Grumpy]

I have only recently started watching snippets of QVC fashion shows since the lovely people in this forum alerted me to some of the horrors. I like a bit of car crash television to give a touch of hilarity to my morning.

In the dvd, poor Alison Keenan, normally so elegant, looks like she has been kitted out from what didn't sell in the charity shop.

I enjoy the phrases which presenters and brand ambassadors come up with during fashion hours. Large American lady today said "Blue makes your skin shine". Excuse me while i go and put some powder on my nose.

 

[historymystery]

Was that the shark-bite ones? I caught the Nina Leonard lady telling us exactly what was meant by shark-bite hem, which amused me, in view of just how many of them we've seen!! I only did a quick look, but it was nice to see that one of the 3 models looked as though she'd eaten a meal lately. Got to say I thought the tops looked better than some of the dreadful Q fashion I've seen when I've been channel flicking, and plain colours!!! Not just psychedelic 1960's prints!!

I hadn't heard that the company had changed hands, the current guest Cate has been with NL for many years.

Yeah I'm sure I had that wallpaper ..........

CONFUSED : these tops are listed as 3/4 sleeves, yet on the tsv prog the guest had long sleeves on the print version, and the plus size model also had long sleeves on her top. Although on Alison K it was 3/4 sleeves and they didn't appear to be pushed up. So woss going on ??

Shan't be buying but I'd like to know.

I may have cracked the mystery for you. I just had a quick look at the website (9 pm, all sizes still available, whoever would have thought it?) I looked at the dvd and all the slim models had three quarter sleeves, whereas Sophia had sleeves half way down her hands. I think this may be part of the manufacturer's curse which hits all of us who are built on larger lines. For some reason, as the hip size increases, so does the arm length of garments. By the time you get to XL the cuffs are on the floor, giving the tubby among us the look of primates dragging our knuckles on the ground.

"Designers" also think the larger a woman gets, the taller they get. By their reckoning I should be 7ft 10.

 

[Brissles]

Yes, you're right; but it made the whole presentation look stupid ! I don't know if I was the only one who noticed it, but they will be in for a load of returns if the xl and above are delivered a long sleeve garment.

I've consistently had trouble with sleeves (not just with QVC). I'm 5'7 with average length arms but small shoulders, so most sleeves comes way down to finger length, and then it costs me to have them altered. Rather pay that, than look as though I've stepped into my Dad's jacket.

Just watching DF on the 11pm showing of NL. She`s dressed as if she`s auditioning as Cpt Jack Sparrow`s sidekick and forgot to tuck her vest into her knickers !
