You’ve
found the perfect dress for your sister’s wedding, but the online sizing chart
says you’ll need to order a 2XL. Sounds great, except when you buy from
department stores, you can usually wear an L or maybe an XL at the largest.
Are you
worried to find out the perfect size dresses? Roaman's helps you to find the
best size outfits according your figure. You can also save more on your

Let’s
face it: men are lucky! When they go online searching for, say, 1995 Mustang parts, they don’t need to worry
about each website sizing the parts differently. They just order what they need
and move on.
When
women buy clothes online, on the other hand, we practically have to do a Vulcan
mind-meld to ensure that what we order will actually fit our bodies. Or if your
mind-melding skills are rusty, you could try these techniques instead.
Get Professionally Measured
Measuring
yourself isn’t easy, especially if you tend to ignore the extra inch here and
there. So, the first step in your successful online shopping equation is to go
to a department store and ask to be measured. Keep those measurements on hand
and update them as needed.
Recognize that Online Sizing
Charts Differ
Use only
your professional measurements when ordering clothes online. Don’t let yourself
get too caught up in Size 16 versus Size 18 or L versus XL.
Take Your Cues from the
Website
Websites
will often give you additional hints about how they size their clothes. Some
websites, for example, occasionally characterize their clothing as “snug.” If
you don’t like wearing clothes that fit like a tourniquet,order the next size
up on the chart.
Different Manufacturers, Different
Size Charts
Remember
that websites that sell clothes from several different manufacturers may have a
size chart for each manufacturer. This is especially true for sellers of
upscale clothes, like wedding gowns. If you’re not sure which chart applies to
the piece of clothing you’re selected, call the website’s customer service
number and ask.
International Sales
Sites
that use the metric system may refer to millimeters (mm) as opposed to inches.
There are several free sites that can help you make the conversion. For the
greatest success, try at least two or three different sites to be sure that all
the figures you get are in the same ballpark.
Memorize the Return/Exchange
Policy
Most
online stores that sell clothing go out of their way to make returns and
exchanges easy, both because they realize that it’s hard to tell for sure about
a piece of clothing until you’ve actually tried it on and because they want
your repeat business.
If
you’re buying from a company for the first time, be sure to find out about
their return policy before you click the “checkout” button.
