Shopping On Line: A Brave New World

If you're new to on line dress shopping then you may be thinking, "Woah, how can I buy a dress without trying it on first?" Seems risky? It really isn't, but it will require a little bit of forward planning from you. You'll need to consider a few things to be 100% sure of how to get a perfect fitting dress. What it boils down to is that on line dress (and clothing shopping) is quite different to normal shopping where you go to the mall and store, browse around, and finally try on a few items before making your purchases. Rather you need to be prepared to buy your dress by knowing your measurements in detail. Then, regardless of if you try the dress on or not, you will be able to choose the correct size for your figure. You also need to understand that the store you buy from will make the dress that you tell them to, so it's important not to make mistakes. Don't worry – here's what to do… How To Avoid Disappointment A common issue that we encounter is where a customer orders, say, a size 12 because she usually takes that size from local stores. Understandably she doesn't check the measurements on screen because she assumes that it is going to be correct. Upon receiving her dress she is disappointed and surprised that it doesn't fit. Don't be that customer! Grab your measuring tape and get your measurements, or ask a friend and seamstress! Then when you know your measurements you can check against ours which you can see on every dress page like here:
