This MH dress will cost you almost £70 including P&P. Who in the name of God is going to pay that kind of money for a clingy nylon dress???? She must be laughing all the way to the bank.

yes, I've noticed how Kim and Co prices have crept up over the last couple of years.
What an unflattering heap of stretch fabric!!! Think this one's worse though cheaper (very slightly!) Would you pay over £50 to look like this? check out item no. 149223 sorry but couldn't seem to upload the pic, if someone could oblige?

Looks like a nightie. Even Sharon the model would struggle to look good in that, and she'd look amazing wearing a bin liner.
I'm just lost for words at how this awful range from Kim and Co shows up here month after month and all so overpriced. A t-shirt and trousers bought to wear as a set will set you back around £100 - are they mad? You can get much better elsewhere for a fraction of that price. And why did they model "petite" trousers on a 6'2" model? They were halfway up her legs and looked stupid!
I have a couple of pairs of her cropped trousers, which I bought a year or so ago. They were reasonably priced, at around the £20 mark, but I notice that the average prices are in the £40 range now. That's a week's shopping for me! I wouldn't pay that on principle - there is no way the product is worth the price asked. The trousers are ok but they do make me sweat in hot weather. And one pair leaks black dye too.
I'm just sick of seeing all this rubbish on screen with those awful depressing patterns. One dress she showed looked as though it had been made out of sofa upholstery. Vile. Same applies to Tiana B and all the other dress ranges - I don't like sleeveless dresses or the vile patterns and prints. It's like card making - there's this one and this one and this one.... Wash, rinse, repeat. And Ying Pong, or whatever that range is. I could achieve the same look by buying some bit of tat from my local charity shop and sleeping in it the night before I need to wear it. My dog's blanket looks better.

I wonder if there's just one factory somewhere that "specialises" in producing reams of ultra-stretchy polyester in heinous colours; the poor sods that work there must be giving off sparks permanently! Any metalwork about the person probably has to be removed before entering the factory floor, so no piercings or jewellery in case the whole lot goes up!

Well who knew I looked vile yesterday in my Tiana B frock and I wonder why I wasn't sweating for England in my one and only Kim & Co dress last week? And to cap it all today I'm wearing a very Yong Kim esque top and leggings. Please don't think I'm upset, I'm not upset in the least. I shop for clothes on QVC like I shop everywhere else. I pick one or two things I really like and suit my body shape and my lifestyle.
I love the couple of Tiana B frocks I have and I have worn my Kim & Co dress loads. They may not be to everyone's taste but they are an integral part of my work wardrobe.

Dear God.....
Even that model looks hacked-off; mind you, she's probably got a migraine....

Well so you should love what you've chosen!
I've never been a hostage to fashion & perhaps I have never moved far from what I favoured in my 20s, but why should care? - I like it, feel comfortable in it and paid for it & that's all that matters.
When I ask my daughters about something I'm wearing, they usually reply, "It's very you." That's good enough for me.

Dont be deceived by the dreadful photo of 149223. Last year I ordered this dress in the b/white mainly because it was a maxi with sleeves ! The fabric is heavy, unlike a lot of the sweaty poly/elastene, so the dress hangs beautifully, and an even bigger plus - my bum looks smaller in it. The print is nothing like the photo which does look vomit inducing, and because it felt and looked good on, I invested in the plain black one as well. I have never bought MH before, but this item really isn't her usual run of the mill stuff.

Sounds like a rendition of my mum's preparation when she worked in the munitions factory during the war. I can just imagine my rough cuticle snagging and making a ladder in her stuff.

That's pretty much my feeling too. Michele Hope isn't to my taste but I buy clothes that I know will suit me regardless of the supplier and particularly love my Kim clothes.:wink:

Actually I don't have any Michele Hope either. I don't often wear patterned things and MH is predominantly patterned from what I've seen.
One of TianaB frocks is patterned but it's very subtle in black, cream and grey paisley. T'other one is plain.
Today I am wearing devil all from La Q)
