Summer is a season to be celebrated – bold colors look so great with that tan! And we show a little leg with our Cropped Skinny Jeans in summer *brites*!

You’ll want to team up my favorite hot-weather jeans with exotic printed Jean Jackets, and don’t forget the other summer stuff you’ll love: feel-good fashion tees with great style and embellishments, super-easy caftans and tie-dyed tunics……all for an easy, breezy, look-great- with- no-effort summer.  I’m that kind of fashionista…bet you are too!  See you June 18-20. It’s a date!

XOXOXOXOXO

    Diane any way of getting your sizing more accurate so we can avoid wasting our time and money on returning? Have numerous jeans in different sizes, reversible jean jacket and patchwork vest of yours and love them all but the sizing varies too much.

    Also need more shorts, floral patterned things and love the 3 toned Ambre jeans in the brown, indigo and black. Any way of telling me where I can get them in petite size 12??

    Diane I need some plain white Jeans. You never have any in my size 8 Please let me know when they are in. Love your jeans!!! I have lots just no plain white or brown? Hope to get both colors soon. Please more tops for summer weather. Things sell out to fast make more.

  • JEXSMOM says:

    I miss your gorgeous silk embellished big shirts and tunics. I have a few, just love them. It’s been too long since you did these. I’d like some new ones. These tops look fabulous with everything from jeans and denim skirts to dressy skirts and pants. I favor them with basic knitwear items, tank/tee, skirt/pants or dress. A stack of Carolyn Strauss, Slinky, your silk big shirts/tunics, 2 pairs of shoes, I’m dressed for a 2 week cruise!Please revisit these, copper, bronze, olive, spice?

  • missmoosie says:

    I started buying in Feb and already have a closet full of the cutest outfits. I just live for your shows and try and get in there first to purchase the things I HAVE to have. Took me two months to get a pair of gray skinnies. My idea was to clean out my closet from all my work clothes (which I did) and to have all Diane Going to stay at the Broadmoor in Colo. in Sept and plan to “wow” them with my wardrobe. In your clothes, I can look spectacular and still now be showing too much.

      I have several of your jeans and jackets. I brought your embellished jeweled denim jean jacket BUT retuned for chambray with gold detail trim jean jacket. I ordered the jeweled demin by error. I love,love,love,love the chambry but you don’t have it in my size any longer. Could you please, help me get the chambry in large please, please. Thank you my friend in style and fashion. I will not rest untill I have this chambray jacket in large.

      Love and peace,
      Shirley

  • I love DG2 fashions. They are true to size. The only thing is that I am looking for what is call a “boyfriend jacket”. I need one or two of these for a trip that I am planning in August 10. I am hoping that your jacket will be on again. Maybe HSN can email me to when this jacket will air again.
    Thanks so much for your fashions.

    Maryland is smoking hot in the summer, and I would like more short-sleeved items. Even our air-conditioned offices are not that cool anymore. I am always surprised that just about everything has long sleeves.

  • katstime says:

    Love, love, love your jeans. Gotta bring in more size 2, always out, they go fast, waited 6 weeks for a pair, waitlist was canceled, very unhappy, bought for a trip. Not happening, gotta go to retail and look for something that will not fit. I only have 16 pairs of your jeans. Love the look and fit. Just cannot get them in my size.

  • bgmontanez says:

    Dianne,
    I love your clothes. I have a couple of requests. First I would like for you to create short sleeve tops for Summer. It is way to hot to wear long sleeves in the Summer even if your fabrics are thin. Secondly, I would to see more consistency in sizing. Sometimes your size 14’s fit me and sometimes they don’t.
    Best regards!

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your fashions. Thank you. My closet is full of your fashions. Keep up the excellent work.

    • akadebralynr says:

      Will you ever bring back the animal print silks? My closet was full,I would never part with them since I considered each a work of art.They are all missing, I am sooo sick AND would like to recover some or purchase some from someone else I would buy a medium these days, (I was L-1X) and toppers..loved all gone.any ideas where ,ebay has none looking for any animal, they took the poppys and status prints maybe 100 pieces, also gone storybook knits.Any ideas??? have receipts but no photos:(

  • kenobaby says:

    I Love You Diane ! Have a Happy 4th! Cant wait to get the New Jeggins that will be the TS in July. Keep up the great Styles.

  • suzannh says:

    Diane, have you been reading the comments on the garments regarding your sizing issues? Please work on the consistency -I am tired of the returns

  • Sascha says:

    Diane,

    Your shows are always such fun! I’ve been buying your things since back in the days when you offered silk tunics during most visits. I still buy your, tops, tunics, hoodies and anything in either cotton, modal or a combination thereof. I have one request; I know stretch is a large part of what you do, but could you please think about offering a non-stretch option in a couple of basic jean styles? Maybe a boot cut and a slim leg jean in a 100% cotton choice? Thanks

  • louweggie says:

    Diane,
    I have been buying your items for over a year,love them all! Each month I buy alot,but there is still items that I still want. I still want the light grey items.Love your classics. A light grey denim blazer or jacket with crest.More crest blazers.Purple velvet blazer and jeans please.Love color jeans and embellishments.Love all your styles,I am so lucky that I found you!!!!!! Bring my hippyness back to me along with classics. Each piece of clothing I have is a TRESsURE !

  • metnurse says:

    Diane, I love your jeans.
    I 5′1″ and finding jeans that fit properly is really a chore. But, yours are great! The 8 petite fit me like a glove.
    I recently purchased a pair of boot cut jeans with the beautiful jewels along the front pockets. I love them; they’re so classy. The first time I wore them my neighbor’s dog got off her leash and lunged at me and nipped me on my left knee and tore a small hole. Will you be having them on HSN again? I really want another pair.
    Thanks so much.

  • marygirl says:

    I would love to see short’s by dg2 , Diane there is never any shorts and it would be a wounderfull product too start showing all of us, so if your company can start working on that before the summer is over here in Mass that would be great. Looking forward too SHORTS

  • bluejeans52 says:

    DIANE, JUST PUTTING MY TWO CENTS IN FOR US TALL GALS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO OFFER TOPS OF ALL KINDS 32 INCHES IN LENGTH OR CLOSE. I LOVE YOUR TALL SIZE JEANS AND LONGER TOPS, THE SLEEVES ALWAYS FIT PERFECTLY AND THE LONGER LENGTH IS FLATTERING.
    WOULD LOVE SOME TALL SIZES IN YOUR CROP PANTS AND JEGGINGS FOR THE LONGER STRIDE AND SKIRTS AT LEAST 36 INCHES IN LENGTH. THERE ARE A LOT OF TALL WOMEN OUT THERE THAT LOVE YOUR CLOTHES!

  • trublu22 says:

    Diane, I do love your clothes and prefer to see myself as 55 going on 35. I, like many other women my age, work out and try to stay in shape. I have also worked in the fashion/garment industry for over 30 years. I am so disappointed in your Spring/Summer offering! Where are the short sleeves? I only see sleeveless and long sleeves—and since that nasty M word is still very much a part of my life, long sleeves in the summer just don’t cut it. Was looking forward to purchasing your take on tees!

  • michele1 says:

    I would like to place a request Diane. I need petite cropped pants. I’m 5 feet tall and 23″ is just too long for me. I would love a cropped pant that comes to just under my knee, 23″ is almost down to my ankle. Perhaps 16″ or 17″. Also I would love to see you make some elbow length sleeve tops. I want my upper arm covered literally to right above my elbow.

  • bonbon1214 says:

    Diane,
    Love your clothes. Have many of your jeans & tops. Boatnecks are the only style I wear. I would loved to see plain boatnecks without any embellishments. I would buy them all. Thanks, keep up the good work.

  • PGA1 says:

    It is June 2010 and I do not see any capri’s for this summer. I see crop and french cuff. I was hoping for some more “sunkissed” colors like last year with different colors. I suggested colors such as strawberry, cherry, lime ( you have now )and cantelope last year. A sunkissed aqua would be wonderful! I wear a size 12. In petite the waist is smaller and sits lower at the belly button than the regular size 12 with the 31 1/2 inch lenght. Average is too long but I prefer the way the waist feels.

  • luvalatte says:

    Just wondering if there is any thought about a size 0 or 0 petite in the near future. For those of us who like comfort but your size 2’s are just too big.
    Have a Great Summer!!!
