Nordstrom and ASOS do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658939 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 20:54:50 +0000 looch 2658939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As has been mentioned, I know what brands and sizes work, I also know what cuts work on my body type, which is the important part of it. For example, I know that I look best in pants that are cut for "curves" so I look for those kinds of descriptions in brands I am not as familiar with. I do tend to take at least a dry run to try a bunch of things on if my size or lifestyle changes a lot though. And I am very gentle on myself if I make a mistake! I have to try everything on these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658919 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:50:55 +0000 Caly 2658919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost exclusively shop online. Like the others said, I generally shop from stores that I have experience with and am more familiar with the fit. Otherwise, I read through the reviews (if there are any) and look to see how they could apply to my choosing a size/if something is said that leads me away from buying it, etc. I also only order from places with free returns/shipping or with a store nearby that I can take it back to. At this point I've become pretty good at looking at pictures/descriptions and having a good idea if it will fit, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658918 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:43:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 2658918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another one who only does it if they have free return shipping or occasionally if I can return to a physical store- it's easier to bring the kids and make a return than try on and pick out stuff. </p> <p>But like @Mrs. Pen: most of my maternity shopping was online since the in store options were terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658909 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:12:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2658909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shop online mostly with brands I know I like/know my size, or else only if they have free shipping/returns.<br /> I order all my maternity clothes online because hardly any stores carry maternity in stores! It's frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658905 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 18:56:53 +0000 Mrsbells 2658905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: to successfully shop online i only buy from stores where i already know my size in that clothing line. For instance I have several work shirts from H&amp;M so I know my size in shirts from them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658902 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 18:41:00 +0000 catgirl 2658902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a lot of online shopping for myself. I only use sites with free returns or returns to store, if there is a local one. I can rarely go out to shop without DD so it is easier to buy a bunch online and return what doesn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-online-for-clothes#post-2658900 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 18:30:11 +0000 Bao 2658900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you tend to clothes shop online or in store? (for yourself) I am seeing some things that I would like to buy with Christmas money, and it looks great in the pictures/on the model, but I rarely shop for clothes online unless it's for the girls. I worry about things fitting right, then if not having to deal with the hassle of returning the items. </p> <p>How do you successfully shop online for yourself? </p>
