No, we won't get those until November when all the summer stuff is packed away.:mysmilie_11:

What another one already?

I don't know anything about the quality of her stuff since never bought any but her voice really grates on my nerves as does her giggling, nervous or otherwise, so can't watch her shows so am unlikely to be persuaded to buy.....does anyone like it in here?

Yes I think it will be!

Have bought her clothes since she came here about 18 years ago so can recommend them!! Excellent quality.

 

[Brissles]

Must admit, her maxi dresses do fit very well - well, on me the size 3XL fits a treat - and gives me shape.

Another fan of Kim & Co here.

Kim knows her stuff.

I would have liked to try a maxi but she seems to have ditched the petite range so they would be far too long.

I wish Q would offer a range of lengths (just in the off chance there might be the odd item worth taking a punt on)

thats the thing the petite range really didnt sell & of course if it dont sell they just get rid of it, kinda why they bought the XS in instead but that aint going to help everyone thats for sure

XS solves very little as many needing petite length are not size XS.

If I could get into a XS I would happily take 2 yards off the length :mysmilie_17:

I'm only 5' and have a couple of the previous Kim maxi dress TSVs which were only sold in one length. I do have to wear a pair of wedges like these or these.) Mind you, being short I can't see me wearing the maxi and flip flop combo that presenters witter on about...my kid's would start patting me on the head! :mysmilie_10:

I fear I contributed to the demise of the Kim petite range because I have to cover my knees (so never ordered the shorter length skirts) and returned a few petite tops (because I prefer to cover my tum). I did buy and keep a pair of her "Milano" trousers in the petite length.

The best maxi I ever bought was a Tiana B one like this (not my listing btw) and I only ordered because it looked way too short on the models. In the end I bought 2 more colours from ebay for around a tenner each.

Sleeves can be tricky for shorties like me but QVC rarely offers full length sleeves! I hate their obsession with 3/4 sleeves as they look (on me) as though the top has shrunk in the wash, which isn't a good look. They also remind me of school jumpers after a (rare) growth spurt, where Mum wouldn't shell out for the next size until the new school year in September.

As you say SCW, they're bringing more XS sizes in a couple of ranges but mostly Q's sizing is generous and aims to flatter the buyer. Sadly if they don't sell they'll drop them.

For me it's the leg length of trousers that matters most to me and M&S do plenty of styles in short length. In the past I've bought 7/8 length trousers in the DHS which are my perfect full-length and if I find a style that fits I tend to buy a couple of colours.

I bought an oto of hers a few months ago and was very impresses so stalk clearance for bargains now. However she drives me nuts pulling and stretching the garments on the hangers!

 

[Turandot]

I'm 5ft 5 and prefer petite in trousers in Q sizing because I don't wear heels and most trousers drag on the floor.But that's only the occasional pair from Q so I can see its not sustainable for them if the uptake is low. I recently got a pair of linen trousers from Marks supposedly short version but they are too long yet a pair in a different colour fit.

Admittedly I didnt try them on in store,I just couldn't face those awful changing room mirrors and lights .....

I would like it to be a plain maxi dress. I have quite a few of Kim's dresses and really like them - they do fit and wash really well. I am not a fan of the huge prints though, so a nice plain maxi, in perhaps a pale pink or blue, would be good. It is not going to be though is it.

 

[Tinkywinky150]

I'm another fan of Kim & Co and a 3XL fits me well, my mother is a XL.
I'm 5'4" and wear flats and find the maxi dresses fine although my mother is shorter, she has to rake them up.
I do have to take up some of the trousers up though, but it doesn't take long to put a few stitches in the hem. I know not everybody claims to be able to sew, but it really isn't that difficult to put a few stitches around the hem.
I would like to see a maxi dress in a nice pattern - I'm afraid plain colours show too many marks
The other good thing about Kim's clothes is that they last forever, much longer than ones on the high street, and because they are stretchy they still fit when your weight fluctuates up and down!

 

[Tinkerbelle]

I'm 5 6 and although I do have a couple of Kim's maxis one is really not a maxi on me at all. Its a few inches above my ankles. The other is an ankle skimmer. I'd like them longer lol. They'll never please us all.
