How to ensure the clothes you shop online fits you?

@healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan

Eye catchy and affordable, some of the clothes being sold on online shops looks dashing at such an enticing pricepoint, although there’s this horrid prospect that looms -- will it fit? How will you be able to ensure that that item on sale really does suit you before clicking that checkout button?

1. Check the item description. Rule number one when doing online shopping--you can’t always trust the product images. It’s quite common for the pictures of shirts, dresses, pants, and other clothes to be incredibly amenable, however, you can’t really tell their size based on that alone.

Don’t just skip the item description as it offers valuable insight into important details about the fabric like its size and color. Some people end up with too short a garment because they fail to look into the description of the item and just relied on the image they saw.

2. Check the comments. Take it from the previous customers and see if their purchase is satisfactory or are there red flags that can in turn alert you. A good example of this is when a previous shopper already left a comment that tells everybody that the socks being sold by this particular seller only fits a toddler when in fact, the product image clearly advertised the socks to be worn by a grown adult. You’d be surprised to see that there are online sellers who repeatedly have negative feedback about the same thing over and over. You don’t want to be victimized.

3. Contact the seller. If you’re still at odds whether or not the attire fits your body frame, then don’t hesitate to contact the seller. It’s a good opportunity for you to clarify queries about the item. Most online shopping sites offer this opportunity.
