That shape looks like it will be very clingy around the midriff - let's hope they dress the plus size model and presenters in the right size and not squeeze them into something too small.

Just because it does stretch, doesn't mean it should!

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

I like the look of the polka dot one.

 

[maymorganlondon]

When are they going to do the decent thing and abandon all types of hankie- and shark-bite hems? These tops would look so much better without.

 

[Turandot]

I like the polka dot but wouldn't buy it with the horrible hem.I agree its time they did something about them ,but they must be selling because there seem to be more and more. They won't stop until people get fed up with them.

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

When is this TSV airing? Clearly not today.

 

[Toril]

It airs at midnight as it's Wednesday's TSV. (If that's what you mean.)

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

Ah, thank you. The date on the thread is wrong then.

I couldn`t agree more ..it just spoils the look completely and Debbie has just said its slimming on the hips ...its anything but it just emphasizes them even more !!

 

[Brissles]

Well the a.....e on the website model looks anything but sylph like, so a no no from me. I too like the polka dot, but I can see it going into the charity bag at a future date.

 

[Vienna]

DF and the guest both look horrible in it. DF is rocking it with her Cpt Jack Sparrow boots and the guest looks a tad squashed into the red tunic and talks about wearing it for Valentine Day fgs.
The hemline is awful.

Yeah, a fairly nice shape , neckline and sleeves ,until the hemline comes into view ..DF shimmying about trying to make it look good ,but it emphasises the hips big time. They both need a size larger than they are wearing ,but don't think it will make much difference overall.Horrible design.....

 

[Ellaaa]

Awful awful awful, DF keeps saying how it makes her waist look small, of course it does, that's because it make your hips look massive!

Ugh, I see shark bite gems nowhere but on QVC.

 

[spartacus]

I wouldn't pay a fiver for it in Primark. So many brands on qvc seem to do the same type of tops, they all seem interchangeable - stretchy polyester in gaudy patterns with misshappen hemlines.

 

[Pick-a-Lily]

I might have gone for the polka dot one, if it hadn't been polyester.

 

[ERICS MUM]

I'm confused about the intended fit of this garment. Is it meant to be figure-hugging, fitted across the bust, in at the waist, close fitting at the bum and hanging loose at the hem, bunched around hips and thighs ?

Or is it meant to skim the body to disguise lumps, bumps and out of proportion body shapes and to hold a good shape to around the hem ?

 

[ERICS MUM]

When are they going to do the decent thing and abandon all types of hankie- and shark-bite hems? These tops would look so much better without.

I can only think they are trying to get that nicely hanging swishy finish you get when using better quality fabric and cut on the bias. But using cheap fabric and cutting them as economically as poss because bias cutting uses a lot more fabric.

 

[Breeze]

Good grief, it's dire!
They'd have been better scrapping at awful hem & making it longer as a dress as the top half is quite a nice shape.

 

[Turandot]

Someone texted the studio to say they have bought three TSV, so they seem to be popular.
