Diane Gilman

Pammy… No, nothing has changed. Her styles ARE cute, and that’s what sucked us all in. Alas, nothing Fits because of the Sizing problems. The vast majority of us on the Boards have quit buying her garments because of these issues AND the fact that she has done NOTHING about it.

It’s also been brought up many times about the Dyeing process she uses as her clothing downright stinks and you can’t get the smell out. So, even on the off-chance that something Fits, it smells so bad, you can’t wear it. We’ve given-up even trying anymore.

Well, I’m probably foolish, but I ordered the chambray and black in the New ! Fabric made with rayon. I guess hope springs eternal, whoever she is ! I fell for the stretch and comfort story again. I also am trying the bright colored sneakers in bright blue. I slip my own orthotics in shoes, so I can make them fit. That’s all I’m trying, and will return in a flash if not really good. I will report back and hope I don’t have to hear, I TOLD YOU SO!  again

I was one of those complaining about sizing issues in the past but I have to say that recently, I have not had that problem. My regular size has worked. I am addicted to her boyfriend sweaters. I live in them during this time of the year. I bought the new luxe jeans this time around so I am hoping my recent luck holds. They look so comfy and with grandchildren that is a must.

I can’t stand that woman. What a joke. My first DG purchases were made earlier this year, I believe. They were ponte pants and jeggings that I returned after trying exchanges. Like u said, the sizing was all over the board. I am not giving her any more chances. 

Gosh.. I remember this.. I loved the concept of her new Luxsport alth-leisure line.. much better pice points and sizing offered compared to that well-known yoga line that is $$$.
Anyway, I ordered a lot and will have to see about problems posted… two celebrities have come out with similar looks too but not made so well.. keeping fingers crossed. Will post my reviews… thanks all!

Diane is a one woman show, I haven’t watched in other a year because it’s like watching hosts being held hostage. Of course my job would be in jeopardy as a host, because I would pull-up a stool, cross my legs, a good stife drink in the other hand and puff a cigerette in the other and just let her steam roller through. She has no regard for the art of conversation, consistently interrupting or talking over the hosts and phone callers. One observation I noticed years ago, she has an entirely different demeanor when working w/Colleen. This tells me she knows better.

She gives new meaning for having a spokeperson represent your company. When I’m curious I check the website w/her presentations on MUTE.  She is just plain rude!:womanmad:

There will be an additional show this next weekend with Joy and Iman. I purchase a lot of Iman’s items and love the, and also Joys. Some good of Joys and some not so good. But with the two of them together again, Joy always has to lead the show and she always gets the last work in. I would like to see Iman take the lead instead of Joy this time.

@Fairmaiden, I give you a five star *****, and a two thumbs up on your statement.  DG’s clothes smell like a refinery…chemicals.  And, we all know this is not a good thing and it’s NOT GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH!  DG first of all, then HSN second of all, should address this serious problem.  Hopefully the two of them will read our concerned comments.

.. your post had me rolling .. LMAO.. for real!! ??????

… thanks., I haven’t bought DG 2 in awhile.. I used to buy an upscale designer purse that would emote a weird chemical smell from the dye in the exotic woven leather.. I had to return it to store and thought my salesgirl would laugh.. she agreed..it smelled up my entire bedroom when I opened it from the plastic. Hope this doesn’t happen. I do reneged the sizing and quality of her Dennis m had changed drastically and realize it’s made .. you know where which is the biggest part if problem., I’ll let you all know. Your posts are hilarious and poignant too!! Cheers!!

Thank you for bringing this up:)

I too have issues on sizing ever since she went to super stretch in the legs and waist too long legs and wide waist:)

Peace and love:)

Thank you so much for bringing up this horrendous size issue. I have to say, Diane Gilman isn’t the only HSN clothing vendor with size roulette. I have some Iman things that fit wonderfully. Loved her jeans that were a TS recently. Ordered two more pairs in the same size but different colors and they were dramatically different in size. Ordered some of the Serena Williams leggings. The legs were huge. If I had tree trunks for legs they might have fit. Ordered a smaller size and the legs were still humongous – many inches larger around than my legs. They look like baggy pants in the legs instead of leggings. Maybe if I got them five sizes too small in the waist I’d get legs that fit my legs.

I’ve complained and complained and complained to HSN about this but apparently they don’t care. At all.

Jumping in to say I’ve had issues with EVERYONE regarding sizing on HSN except for French Rendezvous; no clue as to why. 

The HSN size chart is useless, IMHO. I think every vendor needs to have a chart for THEIR line of clothing because they are NOT measuring in any way, shape or form to the HSN fit chart. Either HSN has to change theirs or the vendors do.

I have had to return or exchange 90% of the clothing AND shoes I’ve purchased. If my size is not available, it’s returned and I have any shipping and handling credited back to me. Why? Because I’m using the chart provided and the item doesn’t fit so SOMETHING is defective; either the HSN chart or the vendors’ factory. Kinda odd how last year this wasn’t an issue for me with the SAME vendors.

Just received the new TS jeggings from last weekend.  No smell,perfect , comfy fit and fabulous fabric. I first ordered chambray and black.  I just went back for indigo as its still free shipping today.  I can honestly say, this is my favorite . The waist doesn’t bind, either.

I was just cleaning out my closet and getting rid of many pairs of Diane Gilman jeans.  They are all different sizes and none of them fit right.  The only ones that are ok are the pull on jeggings and even they end up too baggy in the legs for me.  I think I’m done with her also.  So many times I don’t bother sending them back because who wants to pay all the shipping and handling?  I figure I’ll wear them around the house but I never do so I quit!
