Online dress shopping is, without a doubt, convenient and fun – and with these essential tips you can be sure to buy the perfect dress for the right price.
1. Know Your Measurements
Before you begin online dress shopping, record the measurements of your bust, waist and hips. Additional measurements which include the circumference of your upper arms, the length of your arms and the length of your legs are important too. Use these measurements to find dresses online that will fit when they arrive – and if you lose or gain weight, even 5 to 10 pounds, take your measurements again.
2. Check Return Policies and Terms
Check return policies and terms before you buy your dress. Some online clothing shops have generous full refunds while others have specific policies which must be followed for a refund on any returns. The best return policies include at least 7 – 14 days time to return the dress and a free return shipping label that comes with the dress – just in case.
3. Shop with a Measuring Tape
Keep a cloth measuring tape next to your computer when you shop for dresses online. You can use the measuring tape and the dress measurements to make sure a dress is the right fit and the right length – the measurements of the length of the dress is especially important when you are shopping for extra short or extra long dresses.
4. Read the Fine Print
Read the fine print about the details of the dress. Many online dress stores are upfront about the materials and origins of their products – but some companies reveal this information in small print. Always double check the material if you are searching for a dress made with a particular material – and watch out for material blends; for example, if you are searching for an organic cotton dress make sure the dress is made of 100% organic cotton and not 30% organic cotton mixed with rayon. If the country of origin is important to you, shop at an online store that reveals where the clothes are made.
5. Comparison Shop
Comparison shop to find the best deals when you are online dress shopping. Use keyword searches to check for the same type of dress, or a similar dress, available at other online stores – but always compare these savings to handling and shipping charges to be sure that you are truly saving money on your purchase.
