 Greetings all,

 This topic came to mind because of a dress I bought recently at Savers, which is a chain of secondhand stores here in the northeastern U.S.  

 I still shop for women's clothes like a guy shopping for beer or tools or ammo: See it, like it, grab it, go. Search-and-destroy. So when I saw the "LOGO" brand on the label of the dress, I paid it little mind because I was only checking for size. Sometimes the sizes get a little mixed up in a place like that..

 It wasn't the label that caught my eye at first. It was the color (black, and I'd been wanting some kind of LBD) and the scalloped lace hemline. The price was less than $12, certainly affordable, and I'd guessed right on the size. 

 Tonight, after getting home from a long day at work and a few after work errands, something triggered my memory so I took another look at the label on the dress. The LOGO brand is the trademark of one of the in-house designers for one of the major television shopping channels here in the States. So not only did I luck into a bargain, but I got a new dress that I really like. I posted a picture of myself in it on my profile page. You have to scroll down a bit, though. And I've posted myself in another new dress since. 

 But this has started me wondering how many of you out there have ever watched the fashion programming on these shopping networks, and if you've ever bought anything from them? I watch them frequently and although I've come close to ordering something many times, I never have. 

 My personal favorites are SG on one network and DG2 on another. SG has such wonderful fabrics in classic styles, and the DG2 jeans look great. 

 Anyway, I'm almost certain a lot of you have shopped from these networks. If so, would you care to share your experiences, what you bought, how you liked them, how was the service, etc.?

 I really like what they have to offer even if it is full retail. Sooner or later, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy something from them. So please feel free to share your thoughts here.

Sincerely,

Rayna

@rayna Yes, I've stopped on HSN a few times. Got a nice jacket and bra and panty set. The jacket was nice except I ended up not loving the color. The bra and panty were not the style I liked after I tried a couple of times.

@rayna I've bought a few items form HSN and both the service and quality were great.  One item in particular was a coat by Dennis Basso which I loved.  Unfortunately, it was lost to me in a purge.....my last one!!!

@rayna; I had the habit of watching the HSN showcases for DG2, Rhonda Shear Ah Bras, and multiple jewelry designers during the mid to late 20-teen years; dreaming of adding those items to my fledgling femme wardrobe.

I eventually stopped watching as I couldn't risk receiving snide comments from my wife on why I was looking at a shopping channel for women's clothes. I also knew I'd never be able to risk ordering anything from HSN, as my wife would either discover the purchase transaction or the package delivery and start asking me uncomfortable questions.

It's probably a good thing that I had that deterrent; as since my femme wardrobe has expanded, I don't think I'd been able to stay within my shopping budget if I had "free reign" to buy from HSN.

More so; congrats on finding the LOGO brand dress in a second-hand store for under $12, a treasure and a bargain to be sure.

Hi Rayna

"A picture paints a thousand words"

https://www.crossdresserheaven.com/photo/shopping-via-television/

Bought from TVSN the "OZ" version of a shopping channel . I only wore the dress a few times, then it went in the charity bin. It did not sit right on me and it was a bit of a cheapy.

As they say in horse racing form lingo, "prefer others" Of which I have many I love wearing when I can.

Thanks for the replies. I'm watching QVC as I write, and they're showing some Susan Graver. I haven't seen anything I really want ye, not even on the website. But I do enjoy watching these programs because you can learn a lot about al the different clothing and styles.
