I've noticed that some clothes (well, quite a few ranges actually) are pieced together from smaller bits of fabric, with the result that seams appear where you would not expect them and where they are not part of the tailoring IYKWIM. Also if the fabric has a largish pattern the pieces are not matched up at the seams, which draws the eye to them and just looks a mess. I also notice that the sleeves are not always set in properly - the seams are puckered or un-even so they don't lie smoothly on the models.
I know these are budget-end clothes and we should not expect haute-couture for these prices but it's one of the main reasons I would not buy clothes from QVC. High street retailers such as M&S and maybe Next manage this better.
Another gripe of mine is the length of what they call "tunics". Invariably they end at the most unflattering part of the body - top of the leg, to be blunt just above the crotch. Today's TSV is an example - Joy wore one this morning with light grey trousers and the look just was not good. OK with black/navy but otherwise ...no.
Sorry for the long post ! :drunk:
